About Us
Business Umbrella Ltd. was formed in August 2006 to be the hub for a suite of internet sites intended to help sole traders and small businesses with their planning.
Business Umbrella Ltd was formed by two business professionals who have extensive experience of working with and for small businesses. www.marketingplanwiz.com was the first site to be launched and the second site, www.businessplanwiz.com, is now under construction.
The company has worked closely with the designer of the web sites, Edward Robertson Ltd (www.edwardrobertson.co.uk), to bring on to the internet an easy-to-use, cost-effective and comprehensive way of planning for small businesses.
Business Umbrella Ltd is based in the UK and operates globally.
