Strategy
Business Modeling
In every business plan there are Significant Assumptions that are critical to the success of the strategy. Our Critical Factors Management System manages the critical factors (significant assumptions plus key performance indicators) to the success of your strategy. We can go as deep with critical factors as your experience and imagination can take you. That, to us, is Business Modeling.
On average, we estimate that a comprehensive Business Model (every conceivable performance metric for exploiting opportunities as well as every contingency for overcoming obstacles) will take between 100 to 200 hours of research and analysis. The end result is a comprehensive business model delivered in spreadsheet format specifying precisely what every member of your team must do in order to achieve your vision.
Business Plans
A Business Plan is the documented narrative of your Business Model including the pro-forma financial statements derived therefrom. It answers the 5 primary questions every financing sources wants to know:
- What is Your Idea and How is it Different?
- How Much Money Do You Need and How Will You Use It?
- What is the Competitive Landscape and Therefore the Risk of My Investment?
- How Much Money Will I Get Back?
- When Will I Get My Return?
The Business Plan answers all of these questions and presents you and your management team at your best to prospective sources of capital. From our experience capital sources fund an average of 1 in 50 opportunities. The better the plan the better your chance of securing funding.
