Empowering You To Launch Grow & Thrive
Philippa Bonham Business Development Ltd helps founders of Community Interest Companies (CICs), charities and small businesses to launch, grow and stay sustainable without burning out in the process.
I work with people who care deeply about making an impact, but may feel overwhelmed by starting a business or not for profit; funding bids, policies, planning and “what to do next”. Through practical training, the Mastering Not for Profit Launch & Grow course, and the Start Up Superstars Course, I help you turn your ideas into a clear plan, solid systems and confident action.
If you’re in your first few years of setting up or running a not-for-profit or small enterprise and want straight-talking, supportive guidance from someone who’s been doing this for decades, you’re in the right place.
All The Tools You Need To Build A Successful Business or Not For Profit
Whether your dream is impact in the community or to build a home-based micro business, we'll help you go from stuck to strategic, so you can grow something real, sustainable, and meaningful.  With confidence, clarity and purpose!
Benefits
Clarity instead of chaos
I help you untangle the spaghetti in your head, ideas, to-do lists, funding options, next steps, and turn it into a simple, realistic plan you can actually follow.
Straight-talking, no-jargon guidance
Being involved in CICs, charities and other not-for-profits comes with a lot of confusing language. I translate that into plain English so you know exactly what you’re doing and why.
Funding know-how that saves you time
I’ve spent years helping organisations to find and secure funding. I’ll help you focus on the right opportunities, strengthen your case for support, and stop wasting hours on bids that don’t fit.
Structure, not just theory
You get practical tools, templates and step-by-step processes you can reuse in your organisation, not fluffy concepts you’ll forget tomorrow.
Support from someone who “gets” it
I understand the reality of running a business, CIC or charity, I’m there myself and have been for many years; the passion, the plate-spinning, and the pressure. I’ll help you build something sustainable without burning yourself out.
Confidence to make decisions
Together we’ll map out your options so you feel confident saying yes to the right things, and no to the distractions.
