We don't just write a business plan, we help you build a powerful investor proposition and sales tool

We don't use templates, or outsource the work because a good business plan is more than just a collection of numbers: it should tell a compelling story to investors. We know what works and what doesn't. We build a narrative around your business and whats happening in the UK investment world to increase your appeal.

 

Our clients are typically raising £500k - £60m in both debt and equity from sources including: private equity, banks, venture capital, angel investors, angel syndicates, crowd funding, grants and other investors.

 ​Examples of investors in our clients include:
