Rapidly growing companies need to have a thoroughly evaluated and carefully constructed business plan that supports business development. We build business plans in close connection with management teams. We coordinate outside experts and use several databases and other information sources when our in-house expertise or the expertise of the company needs to be strengthened. Updating a business plan with proper industry analysis, financial targets, valuations, and development plans can be completed in 1-3 weeks time.

Financial Planning as a Part of Business Modelling Process

Starting point in financial planning is the identification of future cash flows and current cash and other financial resources. These cash flows are based on current financial statements and business plan of the company. Financial planning can include:

- defining financial needs
- calculating the expected costs of various financing possibilities
- minimizing the expected costs of financing
    - financial instrument selection
    - structuring financial rounds and defining targets for further financing
    - identifying suitable types of financiers
    - optimizing the cost-risk –ratio of financing
- out-of-the-box -solutions
