We help individuals, businesses, and social enterprises by giving real business advice. If you need a business plan, a no fluff guide to starting up or funding to help grow an existing business, it's all here.

Expert guidance, real support, and proactive implementation. We've been doing this for 25 years, so we know our stuff.

No jargon, just the stuff that works.

If you think a business plan is a waste of time, think again. Would you go on holiday without making a plan? Would you turn up at the airport with no passport, or hotel or clothes? A business plan shouldn't be overwhelming or scary either, it's exciting and very important.

A great business plan does more than satisfy a bank or funder — it helps you understand your own business better, make clearer decisions, and most importantly - assess the viability of your idea if you are starting out or solidify your plans for the coming year if you are already trading.

At GetSet, we don’t do jargon heavy, boring templates. We work with you to write a practical, persuasive (and good-looking) business plan tailored to your goals, whether you're looking for funding, to analyse if your idea works, or just getting your thoughts straight. We can write your plan from scratch or review your current plan.

Our business plans include realistic financials, a full analysis of startup costs if relevant, 1 - 5 year cashflow forecasting, comprehensive market research and realistic marketing plans based on actual budgets.

We run, in person events and networking workshops in and around the North West of England. If you can't get to one of our workshops, join us online for live webinars covering lots of topics to help grow or start a business. Whether you’re refining a pitch, planning a CIC, or learning how to win grants, our workshops are built for real results (and real connections with like-minded businesses).

Past events include Funding for Business Growth, Scaling a Social Enterprise and How to Network with Confidence. We have also just launched our video series, the first of which - Mastering Market Research is available to download now.

Want us to run a session for your group? We also deliver bespoke workshops for local councils, support organisations, and co-working spaces. Let’s chat.
