Why choose Better Business Cases™ in the United Kingdom?

Better Business Cases™ (BBC) is the internationally recognized methodology for developing business cases, based on the UK government’s Five Case Model. Endorsed and required by major government agencies, including HM Treasury (UK), New Zealand Treasury, and Queensland Government, this framework is the gold standard for public sector, private, and not-for-profit project investment decisions.

What is the Five Case Model?

The Five Case Model guides you through the structured development of a business case, ensuring you address:

Strategic Case: Why change is needed.
Economic Case: Value for money.
Commercial Case: Procurement and commercial viability.
Financial Case: Affordability and funding.
Management Case: Deliverability and risk.
