How We Can Help
IP Support
Intellectual Property (IP) is vital for any business because without IP there is nothing to stop a competitor with bigger pockets than you from copying your ideas and destroying your market. We can help a company to identify what IP they currently have, outline the options available to protect future IP, suggest when a patent attorney is required and indicate likely costs that can be expected.

Business Funding
When starting a new venture, capital is always required and usually a lot of it. We have a structured approach where we estimate the funds required, develop detailed financial forecasts, identify potential sources of finance and then help you to apply for the funding.

Business Planning
When starting out on a new venture or expanding an existing business there are always going to be a large number of questions that need answering. We help companies answer these questions and develop a coherent plan so that the venture has the best possible chance of success. More Information on business planning
Networking
When setting out on a new venture, it is unlikely that you know everyone that you need to. We are extrememly well networked and can introduce you to funders (angels and bank managers), universities, government support agencies, manufacturers, marketers or anyone else you require to push your project forwards.
