John Gardner Associates

Brief business description

John Gardner Associates provides advice and guidance on all aspects of business strategy and business planning.

We prepare business plans for your specific purpose, which may be to guide you in starting your business, to move your business from where it is now to where you want it to be, or it may be that you need a business plan to help raise finance.

We offer a business analysis or 'health check' - an independent, confidential and comprehensive overview of your business. The analysis examines all the key areas of your business, how each operates and how well each area integrates with others to maximise your profitability and efficiency. A full report is produced covering each area and the overall situation and includes recommendations for improvements. The report concludes with a prioritised action list for your consideration. The cost of the analysis varies according to the size of your business but is excellent value and is very cost effective.

Our Bank Liaison and Advisory Service draws on our very extensive experience of bank lending and bank operation from the inside - we know what banks will and won't do, and what they can and can't do.

This experience together with our professional expertise as Associates of the Chartered Institute of Bankers is here to help and advise you on any bank related matters.

If you wish we will negotiate directly with your bank on your behalf to obtain the best possible solution for you, but always with the maintenance and improvement of the all important bank/customer relationship uppermost in our mind.

The service covers not only new or existing loans and overdrafts but all aspects of a bank relationship - including the operation of accounts and all types of securities, guarantees, charges etc.
