Business plan

We formulate professional business plans which the companies typically use for acquiring new sources of funding – venture capital, debt financing or grants.

A business plan is a document of 20-40 pages which contains all the key information about a company’s plans – from its vision and key strategic goals, presenting the activity on the market, listing key advantages compared to the competition to setting out the strategies to reach the projected business goals.
Business planning helps to formulate concrete strategies and goals which the management will strive to achieve, which includes presentations of the projected financial effects.

WHY A BUSINESS PLAN?

A business plan will typically be created for external partners (banks, business angels, investment funds …), but they can also serve to raise the quality on internal decision-making.

The main motives for creating a business plan are:

  • acquiring funding from a bank,
  • acquiring venture capital,
  • applying for grants,
  • systematically reviewing the business idea,
  • preparing an execution plan.

Today, the dynamic business environment makes business planning redundant with some participants, for example venture capital investors. Instead of a business plan, the investors will be looking for a presentation of the business model as well as the key metrics considering the phase of the company’s growth and sales pipeline.Business planning is coordinated with other methods and business document preparation as needed.

THE PROCESS OF PREPARING A BUSINESS PLAN

A good business plan emerges from a combination of the analytical and the creative processes which interact throughout the stages of business plan creation:

  • The analytical process, which brings about various kinds of analyses and snapshots of the current state of the business.The analyses performed are used to better understand the business environment, determine the suitable strategic positioning of the company, assess the size of the market, the market opportunities and the potential for growth.In this way we also acquire entry data to prepare sales strategies, initiate intellectual property protection and employ other entrepreneurial strategies.
  • The creative process in business planning helps us solidify the strategic advantages of the company, define the winning strategies, generate additional ideas to keep the company’s advantage unsurpassed etc. The creative process of business planning is defining the business strategy.
