A busy week for MW Interim Finance

MW Interim Finance attended a number of key networking events and forums this week in central London and Surrey, organised by the Institute of Directors – West Surrey, Menzies LLP and the Surrey Chambers of Commerce. Key themes included; engaging businesses to review their strategy and objectives by recognising the significant shift in consumer demand in the next twenty years; the continued growth of China and India in the global economy; technological changes away from the “physical” to the “virtual” supply of goods and services. 

 One of the services that MW Interim Finance provides, as a senior level finance resource, is assisting directors and owner managers in formulating, preparing and reviewing corporate strategy and planning. Supporting businesses in meeting their objectives through delivering “lasting change” is a strength of professional interims.

An effective Business Plan – a key strategic element in running a successful business

Working with small and medium sized enterprises, (SME’s), it is often the case that, apart from when a company first commences trading, there is no formal annual update of a business plan. In some cases a company grows without a business plan never having been produced. In an economic downturn not having a business plan can hinder the future of the company both in the short-term and strategically.

In these challenging economic times companies find themselves more often operating on a day to day basis and strategic planning is not considered important. The preparation and implementation of a business plan is an essential part of a continuous strategic planning process and key to a review of the business, supporting funding requests and a requirement in any due diligence exercise when assessing an acquisition opportunity or the divestment of the business.
