Customer Comment: "I just wanted to thank you for your EXCELLENT Business Plan. You may be interested to know we also had a government grant for £2,000 for a local business to do our plan. Thankfully we didn't pay for that ourselves, there was no relevance to the cattery! Your Business Plan is FAR better and I actually had to pass YOUR business plan to them to include the correct figures and statistics! Thank you SO much, it has really given us the confidence to get going!"
