Business plans & financial projections
The purpose of preparing a business plan is to develop a clear and concrete vision of what the company and its managers plan to implement. The need to prepare a business plan is both for start-up companies and for companies who want to change their strategic directions or implement a new, large-scale project. Business plan is also one of the important document for financing and/or raising a capital. A correctly drawn up business plan increases the seriousness and credibility of the business idea and enables the involvement of necessary resources and capital, for example in the form of loans, leases, grants, guarantees, as well as investors. A business plan is often mandatory when applying for funding.
An integral part of the business plan are also financial forecasts. Financial forecasts are one of the most important parts of the business plan, because they show whether the business model is theoretically profitable and sustainable or not. Financial forecasts are an irreplaceable work tool for both starting and functioning entrepreneurs, and the skillful use of these forecasts contributes greatly to the starting business activities.
Our consultants have been preparing business plans and financial projections since 2007, and during this time we have prepared successful business plans and prognoses for many companies operating in a wide variety of fields of activity.
