Turning Visions into Reality: Your Strategic Partner in Business Planning and Funding
With over a decade of experience, I craft investor-ready business plans, dynamic pitch decks, and secure diverse funding opportunities for entrepreneurs and business owners.
As a seasoned Business Plan Strategist and Funding Consultant, I help entrepreneurs and business owners turn their visions into reality. With over 10 years of experience, I specialise in developing investor-grade business plans, creating compelling pitch decks, and securing a wide range of funding opportunities tailored to your business needs.
I am honoured to be one of the pioneer awardees of the YouWIN grant and the recipient of the Kickstart grant and the Lagos State Empowerment Fund—testaments to my strategic approach and commitment to excellence. Beyond these accolades, I serve as a mentor for the Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), where I guide aspiring entrepreneurs on their journey to success.
My journey began in web development, where I spent over six years mastering both front-end and back-end development. Leading an eight-person development team, I collaborated closely with marketing and business managers to plan and execute technical strategies that consistently met deadlines and achieved business objectives.
This technical foundation gives me a unique perspective and an analytical edge in business planning and funding strategies. I understand the importance of clear communication, detailed analysis, and strategic execution in every document I create—whether it’s an investor-ready business plan, a compelling pitch deck, or a polished business proposal.
To further consolidate my skills, I enrolled in business development training programs offered by SMEDAN, the Enterprise Development Centre (EDC), and other reputable institutions focused on business entrepreneurship. These experiences have enriched my approach to business planning and fortified my ability to guide clients through the complexities of starting and growing their businesses.
I have a proven track record of helping clients secure various funding opportunities, including BOI Loans, Fadama Loans, TEF Grants, and Zenith Bank Creative Loans. My deep understanding of financial analysis and market dynamics ensures that every plan I develop is not only comprehensive but also tailored to the specific needs of each client.
Beyond my consulting services, I am dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs by actively scouting the internet for grants, loans, investments, and other funding opportunities. I share these valuable resources on my website, www.UtibeEtim.com, as well as through my social media channels and email list. My goal is to empower my followers and subscribers with the tools and opportunities they need to raise funds and grow their businesses.
Let’s collaborate to transform your business ideas into tangible success stories.
