Business Plan Writing Service
Expert Business Plan Writing & Consulting
As a former technology entrepreneur who has founded his own company, I have first-hand experience of creating business plans, initially for immigration purposes.
When I was 22 years old, as I had just completed my master’s degree, I embarked on the entrepreneurship journey. I started a property technology (PropTech) business called StudyFlats. Within 3 years, I grew the business to over 30+ UK cities and a team of four.
My work has also received recognition the UK Home Office and NatWest. I am skilled in creating business plans for funding and other purposes, such as incubators.

Business Plan Essentials
Writing the best business plan requires plenty of forethought. The key elements that I emphasise & build on during the consultation are thorough and practical.
The main purpose of any business is generating revenue. Hence, this should be your primary concern, in addition to identifying a viable market and problem/ solution.
Working with me ensures that you are on top of your game with your numbers and have an investor-ready and viable financial proposition.
Once your business model is established and a market is defined, the next step is your marketing strategy.
How will you enter your target market? What “shortcuts” are there to minimise your resource allocation for optimal outcomes?
This is a key part of my work as a consultant: to help you formulate a realistic marketing/sales plan.
What problem are you solving? Or, how are you improving an existing solution?
How well do you know your market? What are their struggles and habits? Do you have a through understanding of factors such as the market size and individual customer profiles?
These are some of the queries that my consulting will address and define.
You must have a unique selling proposition (USP) and/or means to defend your business concept. In other words, you must overcome existing market barriers and create them for new entrants.
We will work on identifying and articulating your USP and implement it in the business plan writing process.
Client Onborading
The first step is arranging an introductory call between me and you/your team.
The purpose of this call is to:
- Answer your queries about my help
- Identify the business case
- Understand your needs
- Determine whether I can proceed with your project (I take a limited number of writing projects)
If I decide to take your project onboard, I may request further documentation and/or information to make the final evaluation.
Once it is decided to begin the project, the writing timeline and a tailored proposal/invoice will be sent to the client.
Payment is made in 2 instalments.
The first payment is due prior to the commencement of writing the business plan. Final payment will be made upon the completion of the business plan.

Business Plan Writing Service
Yes.
I write business plans myself, and this is done through several meeting calls with the founders.
Therefore, each project does take a significant chunk of my time, and as such I have set a limit of 10-15 business plan projects that I take on per year.
Each business plan writing project that I take will be subject to custom quotation/pricing.
I will need to assess your business and how many consulting sessions you will need, as well as the nature of your business.
No!
I research and write each business plan myself.
Therefore, this is the reason there is a limit to how many business plan writing projects I take.
Immigration Business Plans
Yes.
My speciality is working with international / migrant founders, as I have navigated the business immigration journey myself.
Any, as long as the project is written in English.
In the case of business plans in a non-English language, you can always use a certified translator.
To see the countries that I have assisted clients with, please visit my business immigration services page.
No, nor can any other individual or entity do so.
The success of visa applications are solely reliant on the host country’s Government and/or other authorised entities.
No, I am a business/commercial consultant, who focuses on international founders seeking visas.
As a migrant who has settled in the UK via recognised endorsements and a tech business which I scaled to 30+ UK cities, I am aware of the challenges that migrant entrepreneurs face.
However, for visa advice and help with visa applications, please refer to an authorised immigration lawyer or advisor.
Funding Business Plans
Several forms of financing and/or funding rounds.
My specialism is in the following areas:
- Loan applications (banks & other funders)
- Crowdfunding
- Pre-seed
Almost! (Seed funding which would have been in the region of £100k-500k).
By 2020, my former startup StudyFlats was operating across 30+ UK cities, and we had investors reaching out to us, prior to being forced to shut the entire operations down due to the 2020 Pandemic.
I have, however, managed six-figure budgets and have been accepted onto accelerators as well as dealing with both angel investors & VCs myself.
This is also what many other “business plan writers” and/or immigration advisors/lawyers do not offer: first-hand experience of getting grilled by VCs over the profit margins!
