Planning & Development

Whether you’re just starting up, want to grow your business or are looking to exit; ThirdKey can get you to the next level. We work with clients in the following areas:

Business Planning

Whether you’re a start-up company writing your first business plan or an established enterprise planning for growth, writing your business plan can be a daunting prospect. At ThirdKey we have helped businesses navigate the planning processes to attract up to £750,000 of capital investment and we can show you how to make business planning simple and straightforward.

Bid Writing

For many organisations writing successful bids is the key to generating new business. However for many of us bid-writing can feel like a guessing game and a chore. ThirdKey can take away the mystery and the misery, teaching you how to write effective bids without the struggle.

Marketing Strategy

In many businesses marketing is something that happens once everything else gets done. There is no real plan or strategy so you keep experimenting and see what sticks – it works at least some of the time. However, research has shown that businesses with written marketing strategies consistently outperform those without them. Creating your own strategy does not need to be expensive or hugely time consuming and ThirdKey can show you how.

Revenue Development

At ThirdKey we recognise that there is a growing desire among social or ‘third’ sector organisations to create independent revenue streams and reduce dependency on external contributions. We can help you identify revenue streams consistent with your social mission, that will generate regular income and with controlled risk.

Exit Planning

For most business owners the value they have built in their business represents the great majority of their wealth. Sooner or later, one way or another you will exit your business and you will need a plan to realise the illiquid wealth you have created. Whether you think you might want to sell your business or plan to pass it onto your family, ThirdKey can help you understand the choices you have, set goals and make a plan to realise them.
