Looking for expert advice to grow your Business?
________
At the London Business Partnership, we see ourselves as a One-Stop Hub for growing your business.
We offer a range of services:
Face to Face Business Advice
Meet with London Business Partnership founders Deryck Sealy and Naima Omasta-Milsom. Or if you need particular specialist advice you can meet with one of our associates, who specialise in subjects such as finance, social media, marketing and more. This service includes:
– A 60-minute consultation
– A written report
– Follow up
Please note: If you’ve been operating your business over three years, we may be able to refer you on to programmes, which subsidise the cost of these sessions. Please contact us below.
Cost: £50 per hour.
Project Management
You may be eligible for publicly and/or privately funded entrepreneurship programmes We love to support business owners at the pre-start, new and trading stages.
We have worked with funders such as local authorities, the Department of Works and Pensions (“DWP”), European Social Fund (“ESF”), European Regional Development Fund (“ERDF”) and Interreg.
Businesses who took part in these programmes got access to the most appropriate specialist support and delivery model, which ensured the most effective and long-lasting impact on sustainability, business performance and job creation.
Business Mentoring
Meet with a Business Mentor with the skills you need to take your business to the next level. We have a large pool of expertise.
Cost: 6 sessions for £150 (either one lump sum, or paid over 6 or 12 months.)
Business Plans and Business Forecasts
According to Investopedia.com the definition of a business plan is
“a written document that describes in detail how a business, usually a new one, is going to achieve its goals. A business plan lays out a written plan from a marketing, financial and operational viewpoint.”
Work with our team of expert business consultants, who have extensive experience and a track record of producing business plans, which have impressed potential investors such as bankers and business angels, and which ended up securing funding for a variety of business ventures.
A typical business plan process starts with a meeting, where we get to know you and your business proposition in more detail: what it is, why you are doing it, who your audience is and how you are going to market and operate it. And of course, we’ll discuss timescales and funding.
Please note that there is more to a successful business plan than writing it and that we are not in a position to guarantee success.
Cost: Minimum fees start at £750 (excl. VAT) for a standard business plan and include a two or three year financial forecast.
Start-up Loands
You can access our established partnerships with recognised loan provider, Financing Enterprise.
