Case Study – Bembridge Harbour Trust

Brief:
The Bembridge Harbour Trust required the development of a full business plan for the purposes of fund raising and business planning towards the acquisition of Bembridge Harbour and its marina facilities.

Solution:
Grassroots Digital developed a full business plan for the Trust to use. It  included:

• A review of the marina and harbour market – and an assessment of its application to Bembridge Harbour
• A discounted cash flow valuation of the existing business
• A review of business stakeholders,
• Cash flow modelling, risk analysis and funding planning
• An operational plan for business – post acquisition

In addition Grassroots digital produced a simple website (www.bembridgeharbourtrust.org) to facilitate the  Trust with the communication of its aims to local residents, supporters and potential investors.

Result:
The Trust have successfully utilised the plan for fundraising purposes, have greatly widened their base of support and are now in a position to complete the acquisition.
