Is your business established and running well? Is it time to branch out in a new direction or perhaps to make it grow?

With planned expansion comes the need for Marketing, Business Plans and the need for Finance.

There is not much that is simple about it! Business Growth needs to be managed and done in a practical way. If not, you may create too many sales for you to service or too many staff for work that has not yet materialised.

Either way you look unprofessional and lose money.
How much money do you need for expansion? Supposing you borrow from the bank and then find it's not enough. Going back a month later for more makes it look as if you don’t know what you are doing. 

It comes back to many of the principles you needed to get right when the business started. The planning process allows you to gauge the resources needed, and decide how it is supposed to work. If it doesn’t look right we will draw that to your attention. You will be redrawing it until it does look right. A practical business plan allows you to get it wrong on paper first.

Past cases

A Fabrication company needed machinery to expand their capability and to speed up their process. Bob Shepherd Associates put together a business presentation to apply for a Grant to support the purchase of this machinery releasing valuable funds for working capital to make best use of the new machines.

A granite surfacing company produced work tops and other surfaces but needed to keep up with a change in the market demand for curved round edges. An  investment in a new machine was needed for which a substantial grant was available. A business presentation was done by Bob Shepherd Associates to support a successful grant application.
