Business Plan Service

Our fast Business Plan Service provides an effective way to plan how to increase sales, profits and the valuation of your business, call 0845 468 2020

Plan how your small business can grow to achieve these 2 universal measures of success:

  1. Your business provides you with an income greater than you could command working for another company
  2. Your business is increasing in valuation each year

Manage your company like a Business Developer

What do we mean by Business Developer?

A property developer knows how best to develop a property to maximise its valuation. It's the same in business - a Business Developer will focus on maximising the business valuation.

Chief Executives of listed companies are judged against their share price and hence their business valuation, shouldn't your success also be judged by the value of your business?

Even if you don't plan to sell your company for the foreseeable future, you can still benefit from this approach.

What are the benefits of behaving like a Business Developer?

When you behave like a Business Developer, it not only becomes easier to make the right strategic decisions to increase the future valuation, we've also found that it makes the business more profitable right away.

This is because when you focus on the same core attributes that a buyer would value, it helps you keep it lean and efficient, easier to manage and more profitable. All of which are particularly helpful during unpredictable market conditions.

As the business owner, you'll be able to take more earnings and benefit from an increase in:

  1. Pleasure running your business whilst you own it
  2. Affluence after you sell your business
  3. Influence over how and when you sell it and what you can do next
  4. Difference you can make to others

We also expect business owners to have more fun and less stress.

How does a business owner manage like a Business developer?

Suppose there are several ways you could invest your time and money in the business, yet the resulting valuations might be very different. Given the choice, wouldn't you choose the strategy that will deliver the higher valuation?

Of course you would, as long as you have a way to assess which strategy would lead to the higher valuation. And we're not talking about simply valuing assets and earnings; we're including the strategic value of the business to the likely purchaser.

How can Sightpath help?

Sightpath will create a model of your business in our Business Development System and help you explore the impact on valuation of various strategies. We then generate a Business Plan, which you can implement and use to raise finance if required.

It's never too early to start thinking like a Business Developer and groom your business to maximise valuation, in fact we use the same business modelling with start-ups.

Now's the time to generate and implement a business plan focussed on building the valuation of your business.
