Our Business Plan Consulting Methodology
Our business planning and consulting team has developed thousands of custom business plans for clients in all types of industries. During this time, we have developed proprietary methodologies to ensure our clients receive high-quality, fully customized business plans every time.
The Amsterdam Corporate Advisory methodology includes five phases which are designed to maximize quality and client satisfaction.
Management Interviews:
In this first phase, we collect and document your “verbal” growth plan, including your vision, key accomplishments to date, challenges and opportunities, business objectives and goals, and growth strategies. In this phase we also identify and refine key research questions, and work to define and communicate an effective “story” for the business plan. Your “story” is what’s going to appeal to investors and lenders.
Strategic Market Research:
In this phase, we size the relevant market place, analyze competitors, profile existing and prospective customer groups, and perform our due diligence to identify opportunities to grow your own business. Growthink also conducts “benchmarking research” — this involves identifying other companies that have succeeded and/or failed with similar businesses and/or initiatives.
Draft Plan & Financial Modeling:
Next, we provide a draft of your business plan. This will include the full business plan including the following sections:
Executive Summary
Company Analysis
Customer and Market Analyses
Industry and Competitive Analyses
Development, Operations and Marketing Plans
Management Team
Appendix
We will also deliver your complete financial model at this time, including the financial projections.
Review and Revise:
In this phase, we review the draft plan with you and discuss the focus, wording, and flow of the document. We incorporate any necessary revisions and refinements, and prepare the revised plan.
Package and Finalize:
The final stage involves creating a clean, professional document, with graphical enhancements, that is copy-edited, formatted, and ready to be presented to stakeholders and investors.In an era where industry expansion presents formidable challenges, businesses must seek fresh avenues to captivate audiences and propel growth.
