UK High Tech Consulting Business Plan

Acme Consulting will be formed as a consulting company specialising in marketing of high-technology products in international markets. Its founders are former marketers of consulting services, personal computers, and market research, all in international markets. They are founding Acme to formalise the consulting services they offer.

1.1 Objectives

1. Sales of £550,000 in Year 1 and £1 million by Year 3.
2. Gross margin higher than 70%.
3. Net income remains more than 5% of sales through Year 3.

1.2 Mission

Acme Consulting offers high-tech manufacturers a reliable, high-quality alternative to in-house resources for business development, market development, and channel development on an international scale. A true alternative to in-house resources offers a very high level of practical experience, know-how, contacts, and confidentiality. Clients must know that working with Acme is a more professional, less risky way to develop new areas even than working completely in-house with their own people. Acme must also be able to maintain financial balance, charging a high value for its services, and delivering an even higher value to its clients. Initial focus will be development in the European and Latin American markets, or for European clients in the United Kingdom market.

1.3 Keys to Success

1. Excellence in fulfilling the promise–completely confidential, reliable, trustworthy expertise and information.
2. Developing visibility to generate new business leads.
3. Leveraging from a single pool of expertise into multiple revenue generation opportunities: retainer consulting, project consulting, market research, and market research published reports.
