Business plan preparation
A plan that withstands examination by a bank, a shareholder or an assessment panel: stated assumptions, coherent figures, and a cash flow forecast that can be checked month by month.

- Multi-year profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow plan
- Monthly cash forecast and analysis of funding requirements
- Sensitivity analysis on downside scenarios
- Document in the format required by the bank, call for funding or investor

Frequently asked questions
- Is it useful even if I'm not applying for funding?
- Yes, if you want to compare month by month what you forecast against what is actually happening. That is where the plan becomes a control instrument.
- Do you guarantee the outcome of the application?
- No, and be wary of anyone who does. We guarantee a coherent, documented plan that holds up during assessment.
