Business Plan
THE STARTING POINT
A detailed Business Plan is a fundamental document for start-ups and companies who want to develop their business to new segments and markets and consolidate their position in an increasingly innovative market.
IBC prepares short and medium-term budget estimates defining targets and analyzing related risks. Our estimates are always validated by analysis of primary and secondary sources to assure precise and accurate previsions. Both for new and well-established businesses, we study cost structures and analyze them as cornerstones of the business plan.
The Business Plan can help potential investors to understand the functioning and the future perspectives of a company in order to decide whether to proceed with the finance program; for this reason, the business plan is also a useful instrument to find potential investors.
The Business Plan is a precise document made up of several components strictly linked together, which helps individuate its basic elements.
FINANCIALS
The most relevant part, in particular for investors, is the financial analysis, since it establishes quantitatively the profitability of a project. It contains the forward budget for three or five years with a detailed description of investments, funding, incomes, and outcomes. This part not only allows the investor to determine the project’s sustainability but also allows the entrepreneur to foresee precisely the financial requirements of the company.
BUSINESS IDEA
To realize the project, our team prepares a detailed description of the business idea highlighting the innovative aspects and the distinctive elements according to the current market. The main purpose of this section is to convince the reader to approve the idea. If needed, our team may suggest some necessary modifications to the project.
MANAGEMENT TEAM
The product system analysis is followed by the presentation of the management team and/or the key positions of the project in order to demonstrate that the firm can count on qualified human resources with the appropriate proficiency to succeed in its business.
STRATEGIC PLAN
After this description part, our team defines the business plan core, that is the strategic plan. In this process, we investigate quantitative and qualitative data about market outlets to reveal any possible future trends. It is followed by a section defining the market placement and the establishment of the competitive strategy. Then, this strategic plan will be effectively implemented by writing in detail all the operations the company will accomplish.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Executive Summary is the last step, even if it will be the first part of the final output. The Executive Summary contains a brief description of the key points with the purpose to arouse customers’ interest. Since it plays a fundamental role in the decision-making process, it is created with particular attention and only after having collected and analyzed all relevant information.
The business plan can be summarised into a PowerPoint presentation.
