Sports analytics & advisory

Sports finance and governance

We help governing bodies, clubs and other sports organisations understand the governance capabilities and financial strength of their own organisations and other related organisations.

With ever-increasing focus within sport on better governance and more regulation, our expertise in these areas allow us to support clubs in developing more effective financial planning, governance, reporting and action.

We also support investors looking to invest in or transition out of sporting club ownership - in analysing, understanding and presenting the financial position and governance structures of the target club.

Our LCP Assist service gives men’s football clubs in the English league system confidence in their ability to meet the new regulatory and licensing requirements being introduced under the new Independent Football Regulator.

Through this service we provide:

An assessment of your club’s abilities to meet the new regulatory and licensing requirements

Full support in evidencing compliance with these requirements to the Regulator

Advice on areas where doing more than the compliance requirements can help you better meet your objectives

Our team have been at the forefront of the development and introduction of regulation into men’s football in the English league system and have a detailed understanding of all key aspects – including financial sustainability, governance effectiveness, fan engagement, and equality, diversity and inclusion.

We also support investors in sporting organisations by combining our strong financial analysis capabilities and understanding of governance within the sports industry.

Our large team of financial experts brings experience from a vast range of industries, while our Sport Analytics and Advisory team provides in-depth knowledge of the sports industry landscape. This combination ensures that our advice is suitably tailored to the sport and organisation we are advising.

A clear understanding of financial strength and risk is fundamental to making effective governance and investment in sport. Through rigorous analysis and clear advice, we empower regulators, clubs, potential investors, governing bodies and fans to make more informed decisions.

Through our publications, activities and ongoing dialogue with key stakeholders, we aim to be a significant positive influence on governance standards and financial sustainability within sport - particularly within men’s and women’s football.
