Developing a business case is a key step in the progress of any major investment decision, infrastructure project or policy intervention
NineSquared conduct the analysis and research needed to prepare high-quality business cases for you, providing a clear and concise summary of the issues and evidence to recommend next steps.
We understand the challenges and stages involved in developing a business case, from initial problem definition through to a final detailed business case. We focus on gaining an accurate understanding of the challenge at hand, developing options for intervention, and analysing the impact of each option. This detailed approach allows us to provide targeted advice to inform next steps, even when those steps may seem difficult.
We are familiar with government guidelines on business case development, analytical frameworks and assurance policies and will work to ensure the final advice is fit for the anticipated purpose.
