Lenders and partners judge a consulting firm on whether its day rates, utilisation and pipeline add up to enough cash. This nine-page plan sets those links out in order: services and clients first, then pricing, utilisation, the pipeline, costs and growth. Each section carries one table or chart and a short commentary, so the numbers can be checked against the story before anyone signs.

The sample is for Lindenhurst Logistics, a consulting practice with a £225.6k first-year revenue plan, 496 billable days, 74 percent utilisation and £180k of signed work. It shows how each figure ties to the one before it. Replace the company, the rates, the pipeline and the cash forecast with your own, and check the arithmetic in every table before you share the plan.
