Business Planning for Small Businesses

A key part of starting and developing a small business is the creation of a business plan. Not only if they are seeking investment, looking for a bank loan or to obtain a Visa for the owners. A plan is much more than that.

Our understanding

Your business plan will guide your business forward. It will become a way to track and forecast cash flow, benchmark performance, and anticipate resource requirements.

Therefore, it is key to have a plan which is written for your business, in a way that is useful, measurable, and adaptable as your business changes and grows. At Wisteria, our plans provide useful tools that will help you achieve your long-term goals.

Andrew Millet and his team have been responsible for the production of over 500 business plans for a huge array of sectors. Some of the small businesses we have worked with include an Ivorian chicken farm, a bespoke shoe and boot manufacturer, and a mobile seller of German sausages. Your business could be next!

How we can help

At Wisteria, we’ll help you develop a business plan that is bespoke to your business and will help it thrive. No templates, no business plan software, just a thorough understanding of what you want to achieve.

Your bespoke business plan will be made up of two sections:

Financial plan — we will produce a forecasted profit and loss account, balance sheet, and cash flow. This is usually over a three or five year period.
Written plan — we will produce a document that describes what the business is looking to do in the future. This takes in issues such as the available market, competition, and details of the business’ key team members and their experience.
