PUB TENANCY, LEASE & BUSINESS PLAN SUPPORT
Pub Business Plans Built on Real Trading Numbers
Taking on a pub is a major financial commitment, and the business plan needs to stand up to scrutiny. We prepare practical pub business plans and financial forecasts for prospective tenants, lessees and operators, based on how the business is actually expected to trade.
From sales and gross profit to wages, operating costs, rent, VAT and cash flow, we'll help you build a plan that shows whether the opportunity works financially before you commit.
Know Whether the Pub Works Before You Sign
A business plan shouldn't be written simply to get through an application process. It should tell you whether the pub can generate enough sales and profit to support the rent, operating costs, finance commitments and your own income.
We challenge the assumptions behind the numbers, looking at realistic turnover, wet and food GP, staffing requirements, overheads and working capital. If the figures don't stack up, it's better to know before you've committed to the agreement.
What Your Pub Business Plan Covers
Your plan is built around the individual pub and the agreement you're considering. Depending on the opportunity, we'll cover the trading proposition, local market, competition, customer profile and the financial forecasts needed to test whether the business is viable.

If you're applying for a tenancy or lease with a pub company, we can help you prepare the business plan and financial forecasts required as part of the application process.
We make sure the figures connect properly with the proposed offer, staffing model and operating costs, while keeping the assumptions realistic enough for you to use the plan once you're actually running the pub.
Business planning isn't only for new pub applications. If your existing pub isn't performing as expected, we can rebuild the numbers around current trading and identify what needs to change.
That might mean reviewing sales assumptions, GP, wages, opening hours, pricing, overheads or the offer itself, then creating a realistic plan for the next 12 months.
