After an introductory meeting in our office or a long-distance interview (by phone/e-mail/skype), a common definition of project goals and the gathering of basic information needed to design a project, it’s realization is started. Level of our involvement in the project depends on the needs and desires of the client and mutual agreement. The most commonly agreed system is “turn-key” (all inclusive). It starts with design of the business idea and finding the best financial sources to close the financial construction (the development phase), through the professional preparation of the Business Plan/Feasibility Study and other needed documentation/forms (the preparation phase), to direct communication with external finance sources, until getting the loan. If we are talking about projects for EU and other grants, there is also a development and a project preparation phase. After that the service can be extended to project implementation, which is the third and optional phase in the process.

The development of a business idea, no matter if it is a start-up business venture or an upgrade of existing business, in most cases involves investing in assets. In a simplified way, in the process of development of an organization, all investment decisions can be classified into investments in fixed (long-term) or current (short-term) assets. In order for the Business Plan to be as much concrete as is possible and to evaluate the real profitability of the project, it is necessary to gather information on the real costs of investing. In accordance with the investment structure, in the first phase it is necessary to collect evidence of the amount of investment based on the requested bids, pro-forma invoices, cost sheets, contracts, letters of intent and other written evidence indicating the expected price of each project element. In practice, this means that if we are buying a new office space, we have to make a pre-sale contract with its owner; if we are renting the office we need to make a pre-contract for renting office space, etc. What is important to know is that every business idea or investment must be 100% implemented, in way that business venture can be put into operation. Working capital serves to enhance liquidity in the first months after the investment, and can be used for the costs of salaries, rents, supplies of raw materials, small inventory and other current expenses. In addition to documentation that defines the structure and value of investments, depending on the client’s entrepreneurial status and the form of his company, its financial and status documentation must be also provided.

Many entrepreneurs have the feeling that a conditional search of a Business Plan is in some way a business disclosure, because the Business Plan contains information that can be also classified as a business secret. However, the main point of looking for Business Plans is not to steal a business idea, but to estimate the future cash flows from which the business will be funded. In any case, we guarantee a complete discretion, confidentiality and protection of the information and documents provided. And most importantly, we will not give up until your entrepreneurial idea is successfully implemented.
