Business Plan

This plan is about reviving the fortunes of the Green Dragon in Exelby as a village and destination pub at the heart of the community.  To do this the plan covers the detail of:

• Exelby, its location and people being a community that has the will, determination and expertise to operate a successful social enterprise
• Purchasing the pub as a community asset by issuing shares in a community benefit company, obtaining grants and a loan
• Renovating the pub so that it is fit for purpose and can offer a vibrant business opportunity that can be developed
• Letting the pub to a tenant who shares the community’s vision for a pub that offers excellent pub food and drink
• Developing the pub as a community hub offering a shop/delicatessen, café with activities supported by the village and wider community
• Financial forecasting, budgeting and cash flow projections
• A sustainable future that provides a return on shareholder investment which continues to be well maintained and run as a community asset into the future
