Firstly I'd like to say Hi to everyone here, as this is my first time posting! I am currently looking to start up an estate agents (an online and a bricks and mortar presence ) in Kensington central London and I am looking for advice on two subjects. After almost 2 months of market research (standing in waterloo station and asking people about their opinions of estate agents services , with replies like "They're all offsprings of the Bin-Laden clan", it was a tough job!), I have put together a business plan. However I am still not 100% happy with it. I would like to hire a professional consultant to make it more , "complete". The reason being whilst all my projections are good, I feel the wording and layout could be more professional looking and sounding. Does anyone here have any experince of using such services? Could you recommend anyone? I already have an accountant for my other business (a software development company) and I was wondering if it is a good idea to commision them to raise the finance. I have managed to raise £75k through private finance, but I estimate I would require £150k. What do you think? Thanks in advance for all your replies! Ted
