Editing & Proofreading for Business

Everything you write says something about you, your business, your values. Errors, bad grammar, unclear language, inappropriate style can all detract from your message, and diminish its impact on your audience.

But don’t just take my word for it. Here are the words of a Finance Director who advises Business Angels and has to read many business plans:

"When I read business plans it [spelling and grammar] is one of the first tests I use - if the spelling is wrong or it is difficult to understand the plan gets binned!"

We’ve all done it – laboured long and hard to produce that report… and then, just as the final version goes out of the door, we spot a mistake. Probably just a small one, but any mistake leaves a bad impression on your audience. Proofreading is that final vital check - your last chance to correct any errors that may have crept in during the writing and editing process.

Proofreading is the last job you should do, but the last job you want to do.

• If all you want is a fresh pair of eyes I will correct any errors and ensure consistency and fluency.

• I can also provide a fuller editing service that involves more major rewording to ensure the message is clear and coherent, and the style is consistent and appropriate to the document.
