Understand the business potential
Review the pub’s trading position, available information and opportunities for improvement before deciding what to change or invest in. The work is shaped around your objectives and the decision you need to make.
Choose an operating approach
Consider the implications of operating the pub yourself or appointing an operator. MDE can help assess the options and support operator selection, with the agreement type and commercial structure considered alongside the business plan.
Test the commercial plan
Operating strategy and financial projections help you examine the implications of your plans. Rent, lease structure, proposed refurbishment and the resources available should be considered together. Projections inform decisions; they do not guarantee results.
Keep the advice focused
Support can relate to a defined decision or continue as further commercial questions arise. The scope, responsibilities and fees are agreed around the work required.
How MDE can help
- Review trading potential and the proposed operating model.
- Develop operating strategy and financial projections.
