Free, and in any language.

What you get.
- The plan
- Ten to fifteen pages: the business, the market, the customers, the operation, the team, the numbers and the risks, in plain language.
- The model
- A three-year financial model in a spreadsheet you own: revenue drivers, costs, cash, break-even and scenarios, with the assumptions on one page.
- Written with you
- Two to three working sessions, then drafts you can take apart. The plan has to be yours when someone asks a question about it.
- How it starts
- A free WhatsApp chat with Jamie, in any language, about the size and purpose of the plan. For a new restaurant, bar or hotel, the six-week Opening Plan covers it in full.
Built it. Lost it.
Built it again.
I've raised venture capital for my own companies and £130M alongside founders across more than 150 funding rounds, and advised over 350 business owners. I started in my family's restaurant at ten.
In 2018 I lost a business. I moved my family to Spain and rebuilt from nothing. The people I work with get someone who has made the expensive mistakes already.
The record.

What people said.
Word for word. Some names left out: discretion is part of the work.
“Working with Jamie changed our whole trajectory and growth.”
“I worked with Jamie on our funding round. Excellent results.”
“This has been a brilliant service, we fixed some fundamental problems with the narrative and the output was fantastic. Highly recommend working with Jamie.”
“I chose to partner with [Jamie's team] as they have a proven track record in ensuring that those who commence or complete fundraising actually achieve it.”
“Jamie, you don't talk about your services ever, they are really great, and can help lots of people.”
“The best pitch deck I've ever seen.”
Questions people ask.
How does it start?
With a free WhatsApp chat with Jamie, in any language, about what the plan has to achieve. Jamie writes the kind built with you for a lender or investor, not a filled-in template.
Can I write my own business plan?
Yes, and the free financial model and templates in the free account are a good start. Where people get stuck is the model and the assumptions; that is where a working session pays for itself.
Do banks in Spain need a business plan?
For most loans, ENISA applications and ICO-backed finance, yes: a plan, a cash forecast and the owners' own contribution. The lender tests the cash cover and the realism of the sales line before anything else.
How long does it take?
Two to four weeks from the first session, depending on how much of the information already exists.
Nine Bar does not give regulated financial, legal or tax advice.
One chat. Every part of the business.
Money, marketing, websites, buying and selling. One person accountable for all of it.
