Business Strategy &
Planning

By Roy Ringland | Invest NI & Go Succeed | Updated Nov 2025

Most business plans are 40 pages of fluff that sit in a drawer and gather dust. We write "Live" strategic documents that you actually use to raise finance, secure grants, and guide your daily operations.

Whether you are applying for the Go Succeed grant or pitching to a bank for a loan, you need a plan that speaks the language of the investor. We translate your vision into the financial spreadsheets and risk analysis that lenders require.

Funding Success

We have successfully helped NI businesses secure funding ranging from £10k startup loans to £250k Innovate UK grants. We know exactly what the assessors are scoring you on.

Our Planning Services

1. Go Succeed Business Plans

The new council-led support service requires a specific format. We draft the entire plan for you, including the 2-year financial projections (P&L and Cashflow) required for the grant application.

2. Go-To-Market Strategy

Launching a new product? We build the launch roadmap. Who is the customer? What is the pricing strategy? Which channels will we use? We answer these questions before you spend a penny on marketing.

3. Financial Modeling

"I think we'll make a million." Great, but prove it. We build complex Excel models that test your assumptions. What happens if costs rise by 10%? What if sales are 20% slower? We stress-test your business on paper so you don't fail in real life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee funding?

No reputable consultant can guarantee a grant. However, we guarantee that your application will meet every single compliance and scoring criteria required by the awarding body.

Are the financial projections realistic?

Extremely. We don't just guess numbers. We build bottom-up forecasts based on realistic conversion rates and unit economics. These stand up to scrutiny.

Do you execute the plan?

We can. While this service is Strategy (Thinking), our "Growth Partner" retainer allows us to stay on board and help you Execute (Doing) the plan over 6-12 months.
