Expansion potential:

Existing markets are mature and stable but with future demand likely to increase. A constant flow of revenue is anticipated from existing clients locally based with additional income streams from new clients.

There are significant opportunities to expand the existing business through vigorous marketing of the client database and additional opportunity for tenders, which are published regularly. It would also be possible to expand through cultivation of contacts within the public sector generally. Further financial advantage could be gained by introducing the following services:

• Visual Impact Assessments
• Conservation Management Plans
• Feasibility Studies

The business is currently staffed by two partners and one full time architect. It is anticipated that this staff member will move into their own specialist area of Ecological Architecture. Therefore, a partnership with an active role in the business would benefit from a direct saving.
