Would you like to win more business?
You need a professional Capability Statement Writer…

Want to demonstrate your capabilities and position yourself as an expert in your field? Are you presenting your business in its best possible light?

As a small business owner, you’re great at what you do but perhaps you find it hard to put that passion into words that engage, empower and inform your potential clients. Perhaps you want to impress a Tier 1 or Tier 2 builder – or a government agency – with your qualifications, achievements and capabilities. That’s where a professional Capability Statement writer can assist.

Our chief writer, Lyndall Guinery-Smith, has been a professional business writer for more than 20 years. During this time, she has gained comprehensive knowledge and expertise in writing about all types of businesses in an appealing, informative manner. She regularly collaborates with small business clients across Australia to help them put their best foot forward and win more business.

What is a Capability Statement?

A capability statement is a concise, factual summary of your company’s core competencies, achievements, critical skills, expertise, accreditations, products/services and associations. You can think of it as a CV or resume for your business, rather than for an individual. Your statement may also include your USP (Unique Selling Proposition), profiles of business owners and staff and testimonials from your clients.

This document outlines what you do, how you deliver results for your current clients and what makes your company the best choice. A well-written capability statement can be used to communicate all this important information to potential clients, key stakeholders, potential suppliers or future employees. If you’re seeking a partnership with large construction companies or government departments, in particular, you’re going to need a professional capability statement.

The most effective capability statements are powerful documents that promote your business while reinforcing your brand and the value you deliver to current and potential clients. We’ve collaborated on hundreds of statements, that have collectively won our clients substantial projects in their chosen field.

How does a capability statement help you win business?

Imagine it’s decision time for your ideal client or the Tier 1 builder you really want to work with. The decision has come down to your business and one other competitor. If your pricing is similar, what is it that will ensure you win the business? A professional capability statement writer can help get you across the line by portraying your business in the best possible way.

By having your capability statement prepared and ready to go when last-minute tenders or quotes arise, you’ll look prepared, prompt and professional.

Clients, contractors and anyone else who reads your document will quickly see your organisation as an organised, reliable team of experts who deliver outstanding results – and GET HIRED!

Which industries and trades need a capability statement?

As specialist capability statement writers, we’ve written hundreds of statements for builders, plumbers, electricians, tilers, earthmoving contractors, asbestos removal specialists, marine businesses, flooring specialists, painting contractors, air conditioning specialists, excavation experts, civil engineers, diesel mechanics, cleaners, carpenters, security specialists, real estate agents and buyer’s agents, communications specialists, cabling companies, building consultants, waste management companies, lighting specialists, arborists, road maintenance services, logistics companies and many more business categories.

The first decision – Which topics to you need to include?

The size of your document is determined by the amount of information you wish to convey. If you need a capability statement for a tender application, they are often just a single page. However, if you’re presenting your document to prospective business partners or large construction companies, you’ll usually need a multi-page document.

If you’re not sure about the topics you require, think about this… What does your reader need to know about your business, experience and track record? This is the information they need in order to make an informed decision about doing business with you.

Backed by our comprehensive experience in writing these types of documents, we’re happy to discuss your requirements and help you to determine whether you need a single page or multi-page capability statement.
