Step one in business development is sitting down and writing out your strategy through a comprehensive business plan. This is an essential activity if you’re a start up, but also a valuable exercise for businesses at any stage. Perhaps you want to expand your business into a new location, invest in new equipment, launch a new product, take your business online, tighten up operational efficiency, hire more staff or expand distribution? All of these initiatives require thoughtful planning and a cost/benefit analysis before you make your move. Cara works with businesses to work through all aspects of their business plan including operational assessment (internal processes, quality assurance, human resources and business risk), company profile (company history, mission, vision and brand ID), financial assessment (start-up costs, sales analysis and forecasts, 2-year financial cash flow and income statements), pricing, sales and marketing plans and market research.

Let Cara help you strategize your business.
