Practical planning for business success

Without a business and profit plan, you are unlikely to have clearly defined goals and have the requisite challenge and accountability for achieving success.

Business Planning Overview

When did you last stand back and really think about what you’re doing, the direction you’re heading in, and whether it’s the best way forward for your business?

If you’ve set up a business, it’s probably because you’re passionate about what you do, and believe you have something unique or better to offer than your competitors.

Whilst this passion helps you set the vision for your business, planning how you’re going to achieve success can be more challenging.

Which is where Empiric Partners can help.

Profit Planning Overview

Growth does not necessarily lead to higher profits, but a profit plan will guarantee that it will. So ask about our Profit Plan service if you are keen to ensure you maximise your growth and achieve the best possible returns.

Did you know that 20% of your customers will probably be generating 80% of your profits. We help you identify the customers that matter most to your business.

Does working in your business, prevent you from working on your business? We help you complete growth tasks, rather than just adding to your to-do list.


As a result, Empiric Partners can help you to complete tasks effectively and plug gaps, not just tell you what you already know.

Happy customer testimonials

“ We reached the stage in our company’s growth where we needed to appoint a new IT supplier, but lacked the time to research the market and find the right solution. Empiric Partners assessed our needs and took on the task of finding suitable companies. They carried out a market review of several potential suppliers, carefully evaluating them to ensure they were capable of meeting our requirements. They then recommended two very competent companies to us, supporting us as we made the final decision.

We would never have found the time to carry out this due diligence and working with Empiric Partners meant that they successfully took on this task whilst we continued to grow our business. We are very pleased with the results and would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other growing companies. ”

During this time, Mike has provided regular, continuous support to the business; advising, coaching, sign-posting and offering game-changing insights and perspectives. Despite the unique challenges faced over the last few years, we have achieved a doubling in size of the business and we have already secured contracts that are set to further increase the business turnover by 100% again over the next 12 months! ”

“With an expanding business to handle, I knew that it would benefit from a GDPR compliance review but I was too busy undertake it myself.

He had sufficient information from me to create all the required compliance documents for the business and made a number of recommendations for changes to my business processes.

Peter is familiar with small businesses and I consider that his GDPR and Cyber Security support services, together with his commercial approach would add significant value to business owners”
