About Us
Business Plan Services’ collaboration with the world-renowned London Business School
reinforces its position within the commercial marketplace as the UK’s leading practice that is dedicated
to providing full assistance with business planning. Partnering with the School enables us to supplement
our long-established and proven formula with additional resources of only the finest calibre.
London Business School is a global leader in international management education and
business research. Ranked top European business school and the only non-US school in the world’s top
ten by the Financial Times, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) awarded London
Business School the rating of 5*, the highest award possible, denoting international excellence across
the School's spectrum of research activities.
Emanating from its respected position, London Business School enjoys a global
network of top international companies and alumni to provide perfect networking opportunities for
individuals to connect with business leaders, talented students, faculty and entrepreneurs, and all
kinds of people looking to grow their businesses and careers.
Today Business Plan Services is represented by a growing team in excess of 80
expert consultants, who have been rigorously trained by the company, who cover a wide range of sector
expertise and, collectively, make available specialisation across a full spectrum of disciplines.
The team is led by our Board of Directors whose eminence in business plan creation has earned the
company its unrivalled reputation.
Business Plan Services was established by Jane Khedair in 1991 in recognition of there
being no other service in the UK that was dedicated to assisting with all aspects of professional business
planning. Since then the business has had and continues to enjoy much success and recognition as a niche
provider, having grown in line with the demand for bespoke business planning in today's increasingly
commercially competitive market.
BPS' activity extends across all industry sectors and is relevant for all stages of
a business' life, irrespective of its size. Its work with blue-chip clients and individual entrepreneurs
alike enables it to embrace the ever-changing face of modern commerce, keeping the company and its diverse
client base at the forefront of competent business planning.
