Most business plans fail not because the idea is weak, but because the numbers do not hold up and the research does not convince the people who matter. I make sure yours do. I run an independent consulting practice helping founders, SMEs and investors move from idea to funded, workable business. My clients come to me when the decision is real: a bank application, an investor pitch, a grant deadline, a market they cannot afford to enter blind. They leave with documents they can defend in any room. How I help: Investor and bank ready business plans that get taken seriously Feasibility studies that give a clear go or no-go, not a maybe Market research and competitor analysis that reveal where the real opportunity sits Financial models with revenue forecasts, break-even and ROI built on assumptions you can defend line by line I work across agriculture and agro-processing, hospitality and tourism, retail and distribution, and professional services, so your plan is built on real industry benchmarks, not guesswork. When we work together, you get a consultant who asks the right questions before writing a single line, and numbers that stand up to scrutiny long after the report is delivered. If you are serious about getting this right, let us talk.
