Business Financial Planning
Haven’t stared working yet only had email and a long phone conversation but Tony comes across very professional and knowledgeable.
Francis Pledger
Tony worked with us to help create the right branding to let us take a new service to market. He brought a refreshing business focused approached to marketing.
In a short space of time we managed to find a clear and concise message and develop a plan to enable us to launch the project. Without Tony’s help I don’t think we would ever have managed to achieve this and certainly not in the timescales we did.

Structuring a business (identifying services offered, resources, and location) follows.
Sales and marketing planning
The sales and marketing plan is designed to support the achievement of the the strategic plan.
