Wholehearted praise for Beth B

Beth B has made me the absolute best Business Plan I have seen in a long time. She has created something that I am hopeful will result in me being able to gain enough funding to aid me in my plan to be a successful sole trader and bloom my business into my dream profession.

Seamless service, supportive and very professional

I required some support to put together a business plan in order to apply for funding for my business to expand. The process was seamless. I provided the information they required and they provided a great business plan. We then worked together to fine tune it and the entire experience was hreat. They provided support when required and a very professional service.

Excellent Service

Who ever we have had contact with, Sarah originally, now Justin and more recently Beth, have always been so helpful, polite, takes on board everything we have requested or asked and has moved us forward very quickly with our application.
Their professionalism stands out and we would recommend them to others. Beth has been really informative and has given us great confidence In her ability to complete our application on our behalf for us to obtain the funding/grants that we need.
Justin too has been really helpful and has put us forward for a couple of grants to really get the ball rolling for us. Overall experience is excellent.

Once we got going I found their help worth every penny

I had a bit of a shaky start with UK Startups. I didn't find their correspondence very clear to begin with. However, once we got started I found them to be very helpful, very quick to respond and they have been very professional in creating my business plan. I found it particularly useful to be able to employ an expert to write the financial forecasts at a reasonable rate.

Exceptional

Working with Beth to develop my business plan was an incredibly positive and seamless experience from start to finish.

What truly sets Beth apart is her ability to listen deeply and understand not just the business concept, but the vision behind it. She asked the right questions, took the time to fully grasp my goals, and provided thoughtful, well-informed guidance every step of the way.

Her knowledge of business strategy, financial planning, and market positioning is outstanding — but what really made the difference was how clearly and confidently she translated that expertise into practical, actionable advice tailored to my business.

Beth’s support gave me clarity, confidence, and a solid roadmap. I never once felt overwhelmed — she broke down each stage of the process with patience and precision, making what could have felt complex feel completely manageable.

I’m incredibly grateful for her insight and support, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for expert, empathetic, and genuinely empowering business planning guidance.

Business Plan

Very helpful, I wasn't too sure on what I was doing, so a lot of useful information that I understood and I now have a super business plan that, in a million years, I wouldn't have been able to do myself.

Business plan writing

I worked with Beth who wrote my business plan for me. I started by filling in a step by step information pack, sent this off to uk startup and a week later received a completed a very professional business plan. I read through the plan and thought WOW!! Im very positive that funding providers will think so too and help me achieve my dream business. Thankyou so much Beth .
