Business Strategy & Compliance
We help you put the right structure, controls and plans in place so the business is easier to run and ready for funding.
About this service
Many good businesses stall because the structure underneath them is weak. Decisions sit with one person, there are no written procedures, nobody checks the cash, and the numbers are not ready when a lender, grant fund or investor asks.
We help you choose the right structure, put internal controls and policies in place, and build the plans and financial statements that funders expect. The aim is a business that runs without you having to watch every shilling yourself.

Questions people ask
Can you prepare a business plan for a bank loan?
Yes. We prepare the plan and the financial projections behind it, and make sure the historical numbers support the story.
We're a small team. Do we really need policies?
You don't need a thick manual. A few clear rules on spending, approvals and records go a long way, especially in a small team where one person often handles the money.
