For any business a good, well thought out and put together business plan is a key tool to not only showing understanding of the business but also of ensuring that there is a clear vision of targets and opportunities, both commercial and financial, So why is it that so many people do not devote the right amount of time and effort to preparing a business plan or worse still, never look at their business plan again once they have entered the business? This is especially relevant for the licensed and hospitality trade and even more so in the current competitive and economically challenging climate yet new applicants to the trade are still not giving enough thought to what they are actually doing or what their potential business is capable of.

ARC, Licensed Trade Consultancy Ltd offers dedicated services to the licensed trade including professional business plans and forecasting. Based in Carlisle but operating across the North West England ,Midlands, North Wales and Central & Southern Scotland ARC works with many private clients during their application process as well as on a management consultancy basis post entry. By working alongside clients ARC is able to offer independant advice at all times about the operational and financial controls of the business in addition to working alongside clients in maximising their potential and opportunities be it through food, marketing, advertising, profit and loss controls or general business advice.
The key to all this comes back down to the original business plan.... regular reviews of both the financial forecast and the operational plans serve to provide a budget to work against, target to work towards and checklist of events and activities to introduce whilst always maintaining a clear vision for the business and keen eye on the numbers.
