Business Planning
Developing high-tech solution or solving a real-life problem is the start of developing a business, but it would not take off without a solid Business Plan. A dynamic and flexible plan that enables you to assess the impact of your decisions on the future of the business.
Customer Value Proposition
Own a great customer value proposition (CVP) – a real solution for a real problem – is not enough to build a scaled business. Many factors are combined to build a scalable business.
When it comes to value and profitability – where investors are – neither the idea, the team nor the optimistic expectations are the main drivers. Important as they are, of course, but they don’t come first on the investors’ checklist of screening. The focus is on the feasibility of the idea, the proof of concept (POC), revenue stream, the key resources and the process that can build a scaled business. All must be clearly articulated and professionally presented in a solid business plan.
Consider a car where the CVP (customer value proposition) is the driver behind the wheel; with no engine, the car wouldn’t move an inch. The business plan is the engine under the hood, and that’s where value is created, revenue and profitability are achieved.
Fundraising
We enable entrepreneurs and SMEs to succeed in their fundraising endeavours by offering them innovative financial solutions. We apply a proven systematic approach, individually designed to reach out to specific capital providers i.e. Banks, ventures and private investors.
