BP

Business Cases

The business case is the heart of your project. It tells potential investors why your idea is so great and why they should support it. It outlines the reason for your project, benefits, risks, estimated costs and an evaluation of all options to justify why your project is the best option.

Tara works with you to get to know you and your idea, and produce a bespoke business case for any type of project.

PMP

Project Management Plans

This is the blueprint of your project. Your PMP is the why, what, who, where, when, how and how much. It outlines timelines, risks, governance and communications, and ensures everyone involved in your amazing project knows their role in guaranteeing its success.

What your PMP will look like depends on the size and scope of your project, but don’t worry Tara makes it a lot less scary than it sounds and ensures the right PMP for you.

Sustainable Business Models and Plans

Perhaps you’re not looking for a specific project and instead want to make all aspects of your business more sustainable or are planning to set up a small business and want to ensure it’s environmentally responsible.

Tara can help with this too by going through your business model with you to identify areas where you can increase your sustainability or help you create a business plan with sustainability at its heart while still ensuring you make a profit.

Funding and Grant Applications

A lot of our customers rely on funding for their sustainability projects but writing and submitting grant applications is hugely time consuming and can be a confusing and dauting experience. Outsourcing this will save you time and stress, especially as they often come with tight deadlines!

Tara has experience in submitting applications to central and local government and public sector funding programmes, and can provide this service for single grant applications or on a contractual basis.

Risk

Climate Change Risk Assessment

Our climate is changing, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, impacting communities, and putting businesses at risk. Business owners and managers need to know what these climate risks are and what actions to put in place to mitigate them.

Tara can help you identify the impacts and risks to your business due to climate change and extreme weather events, and provide you with tools and advice on how to record and monitor risks and what actions to put in place to mitigate these and increase your business’s resilience to our changing climate.

Please note, this refers to climate change risk management, Tara cannot provide advice on workplace risks and assessments.

Research

Research and Report Writing

No one enjoys writing reports and the research that comes with it but sometimes there’s no avoiding them. Tara provides a range of clear, concise, and professional reports; monthly, quarterly and/or annual updates, formal, informal, short, long, internal, external – just let her know what you want to say, and she can write it for you.

The report writing service includes agreeing what you need; the format, length and pitch of your report, any research required and agreed timescales. Tara can even help you figure out what, how and how often your business needs to report on its sustainability.
