Business Plan Writing Service
Putting a funding application together can often be complicated requiring lots of time and resource, and without the guarantee of a return from your investment. It is therefore important you minimise the time it takes as well as maximising your chance of being successful.
RDJ Consultants have an excellent understanding in how the funding application process works - from finding opportunities, helping you to develop your vision, compliance with procedures, to understanding how to write and present the proposal.
When putting a bid together we can help you to develop systems and templates to minimise the time it takes to put a Business Plan together by ensuring that your submission includes the key information required.
We can help in developing:
- Proposal templates covering Executive Summary, methodology, previous experience, CVs of key personnel and Policies (Equal Opportunities, Quality and Health and Safety Policy)
- Costing sheets to calculate costs
- Presentation - layout, content and understanding your audience
In order to successfully tender for an opportunity you need to be able to show you have the policies and procedures in place to meet the clients needs and demonstrate competence in numerous fields.
As part of the bid writing, we can provide a facilitation service, in which we will organise, facilitate and manage a Logical Framework workshop with your team. In these sessions we will review the tender specification, awarding criteria, proposed offer and format of tender submission.
This workshop offers a clear process for identifying opportunities and writing winning bids, from start to finish, with some essential 'unwritten rules', practical exercises, many guidelines and a host of hot tips. The workshop covers:
Our experienced workshop facilitation will:
- Keep the discussions focused and maintain momentum
- Manage the sessions, so that delegates feel empowered to be contribute fully and are encouraged to be spontaneous
- Ensure that all members of the team are engaged, drawing in individuals that may not be contributing
- Ensure that creativity and methodology development etc. are enhance to produce a strong, unique bid that shows off your organisations assets and innovation.
Following the creative idea generation session we will carefully reflect back a summary of what has been discussed and agreed and produce an action plan of what needs to be done, who is responsible and timescales for completion.
Following the amount of time taken to write a proposal we understand the value of having a "fresh pair of eyes" to proof, question and ensure that what you have written reads well and meets the selection criteria.
- We can review all the submission and provide ideas, suggestions on clarity and answering the required questions.
- We can review sections of the submission to ensure that they score highly, particularly if they are heavily weighted in the criteria.
- We can rewrite sections or write sections from scratch if resources are not available in house.
- We can ensure that all elements of the proposal meet the criteria and all sections are signed, included, prepared.
We are able to provide a comprehensive service tailored to your organisations needs.
- We can assist in business planning and forecasting
- Conduct evidential and Market Research
Our dedicated Research Consultant can further develop the research further depending on your needs.
