Business, Strategy & Impact
Did You Know?
According to Sport England’s Club Matters research (2022), clubs with a written development plan are over 50% more likely to secure funding than those without one.
Our Experience
We have worked with a range of organisations to strengthen their business planning, financial sustainability, and impact measurement. This has included creating due diligence reports and financial models for clubs considering asset ownership, supporting trusts with strategic development plans, and guiding grassroots clubs through periods of transition and crisis. By combining financial expertise with an understanding of sport governance, we help clubs not only survive but thrive, ensuring they are well positioned to attract funding, engage partners, and deliver measurable community benefit.
Our Services
We help clubs build long-term sustainability through tailored business and strategic planning, setting out clear objectives, mapping risks, and creating achievable roadmaps for growth. Our financial modelling and due diligence services give clubs and funders the confidence that projects and investments are viable.
We also specialise in impact measurement, including Social Return on Investment (SROI), helping clubs evidence the difference they make in their communities. When challenges arise, our crisis and change management support provides stability, practical solutions, and a pathway to recovery.
Together, these services give clubs the clarity, resilience, and credibility needed to succeed in today’s sporting landscape.
We help clubs set out clear and achievable plans for the future. This includes defining objectives, mapping risks, and creating roadmaps for growth. Having a written plan also improves credibility with funders and local authorities.
Sound financial planning is key to sustainability. We provide due diligence reports for clubs considering asset ownership or major investments and create financial models that demonstrate long-term viability.
Funders increasingly want to see evidence of community and social impact. We help clubs measure and showcase their contribution through tools such as Social Return on Investment (SROI). This strengthens funding bids and highlights the club’s wider value to its community.
When clubs face difficulties, we provide practical support to stabilise operations and get back on track. Our guidance during challenging times helps ensure survival and lays the groundwork for future recovery.
