Test the plan before relying on it
Turn commercial assumptions into clear figures
A useful plan connects the commercial idea with its financial consequences. We begin by reviewing your strategy, marketplace, operating environment and the people involved. We then set out assumptions about sales, costs, investment and timing before preparing projected profit and loss, cash-flow and balance-sheet statements. These three statements show different parts of the same plan and should agree with one another. By making assumptions visible, we help you understand what drives the forecast and where more evidence may be needed.
Present a coherent plan for its audience
We prepare plans for new ventures and established businesses considering growth, investment, funding or internal change. Scenario testing can show how variations in sales, costs or payment timing alter cash requirements, without treating the forecast as a guaranteed result. In the final stage, we bring the commentary and projections into one coherent document. We shape the presentation around its purpose, so internal decision-makers or an external financier can follow the strategy, assumptions and expected financial effects.
Frequently asked questions
What does the three-stage planning process involve?
We first review the strategy and operating context, then prepare connected financial projections. Finally, we present the written plan and figures as a coherent document suited to its intended readers.
Can a business plan support a finance application?
Yes. We can prepare a plan for presentation to an external financier, with clear assumptions and connected forecasts. The lender or investor will make its own decision, and a plan cannot guarantee approval.
Can you prepare forecasts for an existing business?
Yes. We can use historic records and planned changes to model growth, investment or internal decisions. We separate known figures from assumptions and test how different scenarios may affect future cash requirements.
