Our Services
We have a wide range of services brought to you through a process of Business Analysis:
Business Planning including financial modelling but also finding ways to make better use of assets, production planning, optimising stock holdings, efficient use of vehicles and many other tasks specific to an individual business.
Marketing Strategies such as Pay Per Click advertising, email marketing, direct mail and well composed marketing materials all have a place in your strategy but to know what's working best you need to test and measure your campaigns.
Project Assessment to assess a new project before it is implemented. Whether you are starting from scratch or adding to an existing business, a new project will take time and resources. Careful assessment of the expected income and costs and the effect on your existing business will ensure that you are fully aware of the risks and rewards before you start.
Administration Systems to support your team and work more efficiently. From management information, report automation, call logging software, tracking marketing campaigns, stock control applications, management accounts and integration with existing systems. Save time and effort to record and report the information you need in the way you want it.
Data Collection & Analysis is vital for any business to evaluate how well it is performing. You can't manage a business if you don't monitor its performance. You may generate your own data or you may collect it from other sources. Either way, understanding the data means extracting meaningful information and helps you to separate the wood from the trees.
Management Information & Key Performance Indicators need to be updated regularly and reported in a format that suits you. Bring the data to life whether you prefer tables of figures or colourful charts. Spot trends by comparing to historic data, forecast future scenarios using tested assumptions or highlight weak and strong performance using heat grids and pivot tables to home in on specific areas.
Report Automation which increases the efficiency of your administration staff and in turn provides more accurate information to you or your management team. Many office tasks can be automated or semi-automated to reduce tedious jobs to no more than a few clicks of a button. We can collate data, reduce the risk of errors and produce reports - often within seconds.
Continuing Support can be given through regular meetings, mentoring or by employing non-executive directors. For guidance on all these options please contact us.

Raising finance takes time. You need to be able to demonstrate a credible business plan supported by facts and figures.
We can help by building a business model and a detailed financial forecast which can be incorporated into your business plan.
Predict how much finance is needed for different scenarios, see the effects of using leasing instead of using cash, calculate various financial ratios. All this and more according to your specific needs.
We'll even come with you to see the bank manager or investors if that's the support you want.
Understanding how your business works is the key to success.
An interactive financial model which can be used to try out different scenarios can give you a real insight to your business' potential.
Outputs from the model can be used to support your business plan by showing how a change in sales and costs under different scenarios affect the profits, balance sheet and cashflow.
Business success comes from planning. Without a plan you cannot set yourself achievable aims and targets, which are essential to set you heading in the right direction.
But planning and action are not enough on their own. To find out if you are staying on track you must test and measure the outcomes of any changes and then test and measure again.
Good information, concise management reports and the ability to change when necessary is a continuous process and vital for success.
