PROOF-READING

In business, it is essential to communicate well on paper. Not only should the quality of the English be excellent, but the style should also ensure that the message is communicated effectively. Through the MPL proof-reading service we provide a full offer on both counts for business and professional documents. These range from reports of various lengths to power point presentations.

Here is a check list of the types of documents we work with:

• Regular reports (financial results, budgets, market up-dates)
• Project reports (descriptions, budgets)
• Agreements
• Policies (environmental, HR, ethical, rules and regulations)
• Technical (manuals, product descriptions, specifications)
• Offer documents
• Business plans

Our service consists of two levels. On the first level we correct the English of the document in terms of grammatical accuracy, appropriate vocabulary and basic layout. On the second level we also give advice as to the style and presentation. For example, this could include comments on how information is summarised and presented in bullet points. On this level we can help you to communicate your message more effectively.

We have two alternative pricing models. In the first, we quote for each job. In the second, we make a service agreement with the client, agree an estimated amount of work per quarter and invoice for this. We adjust the second quarter invoice according to whether the take-up in the first quarter has been lower or higher than expected.

Finally, our proof-reading service can be combined with distance learning. For example, we can help a student to write a report and discuss differences of vocabulary and style during a course of telephone lessons.

All in all, our aim is to help our clients to achieve their objectives by communicating professionally on paper.
