This is my own business, and involves the provision of comprehensive business planning services to range of business from start up and SME size through the third sector to large established public agencies.

Businesses supported include education providers, fitness (gyms), property, photography, online currency exchange, hotels, engineering consultants and behavioural charities.

Particular experience that I trust is of interest and is perceived as value adding includes:

• Preparing polished and impressive business plans, usually, although not always, to raise finance. Always involve high quality financials and graphics allied to well-crafted text

• Complex multi-factorial financial modelling, including macro design, to introduce real analytic power and calculative depth, combined with focus on user-friendliness and professional look and feel

• Good knowledge of UK domestic and international tax principles for incorporation in models

• Investment appraisal of multiple options

• Sector benchmarking to aid cost insight and management

• Commercial experience and knowledge (contractual, property-related, HR, etc.)

• Public and Third Sector funding applications

• Developing comprehensive risk management models
