Having a Project Business Plan at your disposal may or may not be a requirement to secure funding – but we believe that the process involved in preparing such plans demonstrates good practice, and will differentiate your project from the rank and file.

In our experience funding organisations respond positively to the existence of business plans as they demonstrate a good, well-rounded and professional business approach – and make them feel more confident about making an investment in your project.

There is a definite skill in constructing business plans. Knowing what to include and what to leave out are key decisions. Not enough information may give the impression that the project is being rushed or has no depth. Too much information can signal a lack of focus or confusion over priorities.

Our team of professional fundraisers have substantial (and we believe ‘unrivalled’) experience in designing and putting such plans together, and can provide this service to clients at cost-competitive rates.

Once you have a business plan and Funding Options Appraisal in place you may well be in a position to write specific funding applications.

If you feel confident about writing funding applications yourself – that’s not a problem.

If you choose this route but need a sounding board or another pair of eyes to read over the document we can provide assistance on an as-and-when basis.

If you don’t have the time or the expertise to write funding applications, or if wading through bureaucratic red tape leaves you cold - we can provide a complete application writing service.

Our fundraising consultants know how to construct and present funding bids, they understand the jargon and know what goes into making a compelling and successful application.

Although our consultants can write the documents they will expect you to become actively involved in the process.
