Confidentiality
Our promise of confidentiality to you is unconditional and absolute. We will never disclose anything you tell us to anyone. We will never make commercial use of anything you tell us. This commitment is permanent and unlimited and applies whether or not you engage us. We have a 100 per cent track record of total secrecy and we intend to keep that track record intact.

We are happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before beginning work with you and can supply a standard Non-Disclosure Agreement form if you wish.

Initial free consultation
We will be happy to provide you with an initial consultation free of charge. We will listen carefully to as much or as little as you wish to tell us about your project.  Then we will give you my feedback on its strengths and weaknesses and advise you on the best way to set about getting financial backing. This free consultation is covered by the absolute guarantee of confidentiality described above.  

How we work
We can work in whatever way suits you best.  Our normal approach is to ask you to complete a standard questionnaire that will provide us with the basic information we need.  The more information you provide, the less time it takes to write the business plan.  We will then conduct whatever research is necessary to fill the gaps in your business plan. 

Who owns what
You own the copyright of the finished work and it is your name that appears on the cover. 

Additional services
Many new business ventures require significant effort initially in marketing and PR. Yet hiring full time staff or engaging an agency can be expensive. We are able to provide assistance, on a per-day basis, during your launch phase in areas that include:-

• Marketing
• Internet/web marketing
• Media relations and press releases
• Media relations training
• Social media (Blogging, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter)
• Search engine optimisation
• Mobile marketing

These websites tell you more about PR and marketing services and about search engine optimisation and social media services:-

What you pay and when
As part of our initial Free survey of your project, we will set out a price list and timetable for delivery of a complete business plan and also any additional services you may require. You remain in charge of your budget at all times, and pay only for work that has been completed once you have approved it.  We do not ask for any advance payment. We may ask for the fee we agree to be placed in escrow for larger projects.
