We can help you start your business, secure investment, get a startup loan or a visa..

SGI Consultants are experienced professional business plan writers who write high-quality, bespoke business plans to help you attract investors, secure a bank loan or obtain approval from landlords or regulatory organisations.

All businesses should have a business plan. It is an essential document that provides a description and framework of your business’s future. Your business plan should explain your business strategy and fundamental goals to get from where you are now to where you want to be.

Most people need help to write a business plan, and most self-written business plans need to be more comprehensive to get funding.

When you work with one of our business plan writers, you will get more than a business plan; you get a complete business service that helps you achieve your goals. Your business plan will be structured using our Business Success Formula, which lays the foundation for your success.

We only write bespoke business plans, written just for your business.  All business plans include market research, competitor analysis and financial projections (P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, Business Valuation & Break-Even Analysis).

Our business planning service's primary goal is to help you take the next step in your business development.

Whether you need a business plan for:

• A business loan or startup loan
• To secure investment from Angel Investors, VCs or Crowdfunding platforms
• Get endorsement for an Innovator Founder Visa or Global Expansion Worker Visa.
• Send to a landlord or agent to secure a property
• Test the viability of your business.
• To manage your business performance.

Our experienced business plan writers have helped over 1,800 entrepreneurs start and raise funding through our proven business planning process. We maintain an exceptional funding success rate of over 90% because of our meticulous approach rooted in startup best practices.

Business Plan Types We Write

A loan business plan should focus on demonstrating repayment ability, financial management capabilities, and risk mitigation. Project realistic cash flows, include collateral/security details, and outline measures in place to ensure consistent profits.

Investment 

An investment business plan should highlight large market opportunities, key competitive advantages and IP, projections of high returns, and strengths of the leadership team. The goal is to get investors excited about growth potential.

A visa business plan must thoroughly validate your startup's viability and significant growth prospects in the UK market. This includes extensive market research and competitor analysis to demonstrate a clear customer need and gap in the competitive landscape. The plan should also include five years of realistic yet ambitious financial projections for revenue and jobs created. Finally, you must detail how you will invest visa funds into UK growth, including specifics on expenditures over two years and the precise impact on target customer acquisition, product development, hiring projections and other expansion metrics. 

Established Businesses

Existing companies need business plans when entering new growth stages. These plans detail expansion goals, new marketing initiatives, partnerships and hires to support scaling, and updated financials connected to these growth strategies.

Andrew Ludlam – The Business Plan Writer

For over a decade I've been helping business owners to plan and grow. One of the UK’s leading business plan writers, I have worked with many hundreds of business owners from start-ups, sole traders, limited companies, through to large corporations.

My business plan writing service also extends to preparing business plans for MBOs, MBIs, supporting international entrepreneurs applying for start up and innovator visas – as well as to simply help you plot a plan for success. In addition, pitch decks and investor summaries can also be prepared.

To ensure your requirements are met with the highest degree of expertise, I have also forged strong links with a range of strategic partners, including top-ranking financial and legal specialists.

I provide a completely bespoke one-to-one business plan writing service, with a proven track record of helping entrepreneurs create business plans for investment, growth and acquisition. To date I would conservatively estimate I have raised over £175million in total for clients.

Why Choose Me?

Truth is and what  really  makes me qualified to help, is that I do not only write business plans for a living.

Whilst this takes up much of my time, I am a multiple business owner with over 14 years’ experience in helping business owners plot and implement a path for growth – ‘resetting’ their business and taking it from where it is now, to where they want it to be.

I’m also an advisor and non-executive director to 6 and 7-figure operations, and the author of the Amazon 5-star rated book "Maverick Marketing: Essential Business-Building Strategies for Extraordinary Business Growth".

My service doesn’t just stop at business plan writing. With multi-sector knowledge borne from many years spent growing companies, I can also help you develop a custom-fitted business growth strategy, providing clarity, focus and direction.

Just as importantly, you are guaranteed my complete attention – your business plan will not be delegated down to a team member. Similarly, I do not take the information you supply, and throw back a business plan after a few weeks. No outsourcing and no ‘off the shelf’ templates, ever.

Search online for business plan writers and you’ll be spoilt for choice: both good and, well, not so good. However, if you’re prepared to invest in the process, I believe I offer a uniquely bespoke and reliable business plan writing service.

Business Plan Writing Service FAQ

Give us a call on 0203 934 6830 or email: [email protected] for a no obligation consultation. We can help guide you through the process and answer any questions.

You'll work directly with our Managing Director.

In our discovery workshop, we'll identify exactly what we'll need from you. The list varies by project and is specific to your business, but typically includes things like your historical financials or details on your product(s). Don't worry about preparing in advance - we will discuss what you do and don't have during the workshop.

Our discovery workshop is the first step. This takes 60-90 minutes and is conducted via Zoom. This session helps us identify what we need from you and where we'll need to do our own research.

From our initial discovery workshop, we aim to complete a first draft in about 15-20 business days. From here, additional changes / corrections and amendments tend to happen quite quickly via our feedback platform.

Yes - of course. The most time consuming step is for us to research and write the first draft of your business plan. As soon as this is ready, we'll share it with you for initial comments, changes and corrections.

A typical client takes about 3 drafts to get to the final product. Some projects take a few more, some a few less.

We encourage you to review the draft with advisors, stakeholders, co-founders and team members to ensure we get the widest possible feedback.

All of our business plans are editable using Microsoft Word (enabling you to make changes or iterations afterwards). You can expect to receive a .PDF and Word .docx file at the end of the project.

We work directly with CEOs / Founders / MD's. In our experience, this is the only way to ensure the final pitch deck is an accurate reflection of your vision for the business.

Yes - of course. Our HQ is based in Central London and our team are all based in the UK. Everything is done in house, by experts in the UK fundraising and business environment.

No problem, email us at [email protected] or call us on 0207 271 2407 and we'll talk you through everything.

A business plan is the core of your investor package and also the embodiment of your business ideas. However, you might find yourself battling with developing products, selecting a working team, finding customers, or even seeking a source of funding. At the end of the day, you won’t find spare time to formulate a business plan, and thus the need for a business plan consultant surfaces. This guide will cover a thorough breakdown of a business plan consultant whilst providing you with the top best professional consultants in the UK.

A business plan consultant is an individual or corporation that specialises in refining your ideas and shaping them into a viable business plan. They carry out scrutiny and research just to see that they get a clear picture of what your business is about. That way, they will be able to note down an action plan in a document just to enable you to achieve those goals. 

A business plan consultant is capable of performing different changes when it comes to your plan. But aside from ensuring the production of a business plan that would fit into your goals and ideas, a consultant should be able to provide these services listed below. 

• A business plan consultant should carry out a detailed competitor analysis of your market. Before constructing a plan, the planner should determine the nature of your competitors, who they are, their strengths and weaknesses and how best to differ from them.
• They can also conduct a go-to-market strategy that the business can utilise. A consultant can also recommend working marketing plans and channels that can help the corporation reach out to its ideal clients. 
• A consultant possesses extensive market and industry knowledge and is responsible for handling customer or consumer research that will help them identify the demand for a product in a new target market. 

Yes, you do need a business consultant. There are some common reasons why having a consultant is essential for every business. Let’s analyse a few of them below:

• You need a consultant to help you identify optimal strategies to grow your business. This process might not really be to drive traffic and make sales, but mostly to have a professional mind to add to the betterment of the corporation. 
• A business plan consultant can also challenge your assumptions by looking at past problems, pressure testing all your primary assumptions and changing them into a new finding. 
• As an entrepreneur, having a business plan consultant will also leave you with more free time to focus on other sectors of your business. 

The Best Business Plan Consultants in the UK

There are multiple business plan consultants in the UK, and the list keeps increasing by every minute. After thorough research, we have prepared a list of the best professional business plan consultants you can choose from.

The total estimated cost of writing a professional business plan in the UK can range from £500 to £3,000. Hence, you should remember that this cost is mostly affected by the size, complexity, and quality of the project the consultant is working on. If you run a big corporation, your business plan will be complex, and the requirements might also be vast. With this, you will either be charged lower or higher depending on the type of business.   

A small business consultant specifically focuses on small business owners and entrepreneurs to develop unique business plans for their corporation. A small business consultant also gives advice on problems, plans, or development skills to the new startup.

Using one of these best business plan consultants in the UK will provide you with a professional business plan that will yield massive returns within a relatively small amount of time. But to do this, you need to pay quality attention while selecting a business plan consultant. You should be able to relate to him/her at any level while explaining what you want.

They can also have an external view on how to tackle a problem since it’s their area of speciality. 

You can hire a consultant when you need help creating a business plan or when you need an extra opinion on an important operation. If you also feel that you lack in-house expertise or need help with the restructuring of the business and operations infrastructure, then get yourself a consultant.

Assessing Business Potential Before Starting Up

What are the 3 critical factors to check before launching a startup.

According to our proven model, these critical factors can help you make informed decisions and increase your chances of success:

Business Model

Assess whether your business idea is financially viable and how you plan to make money from it. Look at successful businesses in your industry to get a sense of what the most profitable business models look like.

Competition

Understand who your competitors are and how they are positioning themselves in the market. You can learn a lot from your competitors, but be aware that if they have already overtaken the market, it may be difficult for your startup to gain a foothold.

Market Research

Look at industry trends and the overall health of the market in which you will operate. Consider the potential for growth and the amount of money that companies in your field are making. It’s also worth looking at the success of other startups in your industry to get a sense of whether investors are willing to fund ventures like yours.

How to write a consulting business plan

If you want to work as a consultant, you'll need a plan. Here's how to create one just for you.

Consultants do things differently

If you’re a self-employed consultant your work isn't like other forms of business. Unlike retailers or manufacturers, you're not making and/or selling tangible products. And unlike service companies, you're not employing a team of people to provide solutions.

Remember you’re not not just selling your time. As a consultant, you will be paid for the skills, knowledge and abilities you've developed over your career.

We have some useful background reading about the benefits of becoming a consultant or contractor , which will help explain how such businesses work. But having decided to become a consultant, what's the next step?

Like all new small businesses, you'll need a plan. That plan will have to cover funding, growth, pay rates, expenses, marketing, equipment costs, training and qualifications. It will also have to cover your goals, and the strategy you'll use to reach them.

Consulting business plans are a little different to other business plans. Here's what you need to know to get your consulting career off the ground.

Who are you writing the plan for?

This is an important question to ask yourself before you start. For most conventional businesses the answer will be "For the bank and investors." That's because small businesses usually need startup funding to get off the ground.

But consultants setting up their own business might not need much funding – if any. It's still important to have a business plan though – not only to clarify the details in your own mind, but also to help you understand the potential risks and rewards.

A good business plan will combine elements of both finance and strategy, but the contents will vary depending on the target audience. We'll take a look at the options next.

A business plan for banks and investors

You may not need funding for capital equipment expenses or office rent. But you might need a loan to tide you over for the first few months, until you have a regular cash flow. The initial period for any new business can be a tough time – money worries will just make it tougher.

You may also decide that you want to make more of an impression by hiring office space, perhaps in a shared office environment. Or you might want funds to spend on marketing and advertising, particularly if you're offering consulting services in a competitive market.

For all of this, you'll need money. You could apply for a bank loan, look for grants, or try other forms of capital-raising such as crowdfunding. Whichever method you choose, any potential investors will want to see the important numbers. That means you'll need to cover the following points in your business plan:

• target market and sector analysis
• business objectives and USP (unique selling proposition)
• startup expenses and assets, including equipment
• overheads and fixed costs
• marketing strategy and budget
• funding requirements, loan collateral and cost of interest
• pay rates, revenue and cash flow projections
• sales forecasts in monthly intervals
• ongoing expenses
• growth projections and strategy

Some of this information will be difficult for you to estimate. It might be even harder for you to present clearly. Use your accounting software to help with figures and to produce professional tables and charts. Then, an accountant can help you include the right information in your plan.

A business plan for you

Of course, you might not need any funding. Perhaps you have enough savings to keep you going for a few months and clients already lined up. Or you may be starting your consulting career after an inheritance or unexpected windfall.

If money isn't an immediate concern, you can afford to be less formal when drafting your plan. That means making sensible predictions and setting goals for yourself, not just financial targets – though you should include those too.

This isn't an exercise in creative writing. The purpose of creating a plan is to help you concentrate on what you want to achieve. Some points to consider include:

Reasons for being a consultant

Why are you doing this? It's important to answer honestly. If the answer is “to make more money” or “because I'm good at what I do” then write that down. Write down all the reasons you can think of, then read them back. Do they sound convincing? Make sure you know your true motivation, as it will help you focus on your goals.

Consulting can mean you have an irregular income. Sometimes you might be busy, other times less so. It makes sense to keep some money in savings accounts, especially if you'll be paying tax at the end of the year instead of while you're earning.

Relationship risks

Think about the impact of consulting on your family or friends. Consultants often work irregular hours, sometimes from home, and they might be working at weekends. That can put a strain on relationships. Be realistic about this and set boundaries around when and where you will work.

Which clients to avoid and which to take on

You will already have an idea of the types of client you don't want to work for, because you know the industry you work in. For example, known late-payers can damage your cash flow so it's sensible to avoid them where possible. Look for clients who are reliable, as they’ll help make your business a success. Know that you can let go of clients who are more trouble than they're worth.

Training and certification

In many industries, especially IT, it's important to keep your skills up to date. But your clients are unlikely to pay for you to go on training courses – that's an expense you'll have to cover yourself. How will you stay up to date? Think about industry magazines, websites, forums, news feeds, conferences, courses, distance learning, peer groups and self-teaching strategies.

Personal goals

Perhaps you're planning to be a consultant for the rest of your working life. Maybe you want to do it for a couple of years and then move back in-house as an employee. Or you might want to start employing other consultants at some stage and build up an agency – maybe even sell it. It doesn't matter what your personal goals are, as long as you have some. Write them down and bear them in mind when making big decisions.

What to do with your profits

This is a good opportunity to think about how much money you want to make . Consider how much you will charge and what you will do with your commission. For example you may decide to use 50% to cover costs, pay yourself with 30% and put 20% back into your business.

Some of this information would be inappropriate to include in a financial business plan for banks or investors. But it can be very helpful in guiding you through the early part of your consulting career.

Five top tips for writing a good consulting business plan

Business plans can be difficult documents to write. If you've never done it before, thinking clearly and logically about your business strategy may not be easy. Here are some tips to help you succeed:

1. Write the first draft

Don't worry about grammar, structure or neatness. Just get the thoughts out of your head and onto the paper or screen. Some people find this easier to do in an informal setting, such as a library or café.

2. Do your research

Understand the market you're going to be working in. Get to know all the details, as it'll help you write a more effective consulting business plan.

3. Identify your USP

That's your unique selling proposition. Why should companies hire you and not one of your competitors? Think carefully about what you're particularly good at, then use that as a basis for marketing yourself.

4. Get feedback

Talk to your peers, friends, previous business associates and potential customers. Show them your plan and listen to their feedback.

5. Keep it simple

Don't write dozens of pages. You'll bore the investors and your plan will end up on a pile where nobody will ever look at it again – including you. Stick to the important points.

Update your business plan regularly

A business plan isn't a static document. It should change and evolve over time as your business grows. You will learn a great deal in your first few months working as a consultant, and that knowledge should be applied to your business plan. It's a good idea to review your plan every month.

You may find that some of what you initially wrote turns out to have been misguided, inaccurate or just plain wrong. That's normal. Nobody can predict every step a business will take. The important thing is to learn as you go along – and make use of that knowledge to improve your plan.

Plan for consulting success

A consulting business plan is written as much for you, the consultant, as for anyone else. The point of writing it is to concentrate on what's important. That clarity is what will help you succeed.

So don't look at a business plan as just another box to be ticked. It's a fundamental process when starting any business, particularly a consulting business where you will need initiative and drive to succeed.

Take the time to write a proper business plan, and keep it regularly updated as your business grows. You can use our free business plan template . You'll find it an invaluable guide to becoming a successful consultant.

Ask about their process and methodology. Professional business plan writers should have a clear and structured approach to developing a business plan. A competent writer should not only demonstrate their methods for researching the market and formulating the strategy, but also customize their approach according to your unique requirements.

• Length of your plan
• Purpose of your plan
• Complexity of your plan
• Experience of the writer
• Market rates and demand

Pro Tip:  When hiring a business plan writer, you should not base your decision solely on the cost, but also on the value and return on investment that the writer can provide for your startup. To learn more, check our detailed article on  How Much Does a Professional Business Plan Cost?

Canada announces new pilot programs to support caregivers and Canadian families, intends to make the caregivers program permanent

From: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

News release

Caregivers from abroad are invaluable to Canadian families. Their hard work makes a difference in the lives of those they care for, including children, seniors and persons with disabilities.

June 3, 2024—Toronto— Caregivers from abroad are invaluable to Canadian families. Their hard work makes a difference in the lives of those they care for, including children, seniors and persons with disabilities.

As the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot come to a close later this month, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced new, enhanced caregiver pilots. This will allow caregivers to continue to come to Canada, as we work toward making the caregiver pilot programs permanent.

The new pilot programs will provide home care workers with permanent residence (PR) on arrival in Canada. They will also be allowed to work for organizations that provide temporary or part­time care for people who are semi-independent or recovering from an injury or illness. This new pathway means that caregivers can more easily find proper work with reliable employers and have clear, straightforward access to permanent resident status as soon as they arrive in Canada.

Through these new pilot programs, candidates interested in working in Canada’s home care sector will be eligible to apply if they meet the following criteria:

• attain a minimum of level 4 based on the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)
• hold the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma
• have recent and relevant work experience
• receive an offer for a full-time home care job

These new PR on arrival pilot programs mark an important step forward in Canada’s efforts to meet the evolving home care needs of its diverse population. More information will be available before the full launch of the pilots, including full eligibility criteria and details on how to apply.

“Caregivers play a critical role in supporting Canadian families, and our programs need to reflect their invaluable contributions. As we work to implement a permanent caregivers program, these two new pilots will not only improve support for caregivers, but also provide families with the quality care they deserve.” – The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

“After hearing stories and feedback from caregivers across Canada, I am proud that we are taking concrete action to create policies to support the caregiver community. Generations of women and men have advocated for this important pathway and have cared for our families and loved ones here in Canada. Now is the time to return the care they deserve." – The Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Small Business

Quick facts

In June 2014, there was an inventory of over 60,000 persons for the Live-in Caregiver Program. Today, less than 1% of that Live-in Caregiver Program inventory remains.

As part of the 2024–2026 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada will admit over 15,000 caregivers as permanent residents.

As of April 30, 2024, nearly 5,700  caregivers and their family members have become permanent residents since the launch of the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot in 2019.
