Developing an actionable plan to attract public and/or private funding, launch your first product, or grow your business can be a challenging task. It requires, among other things, an in-depth understanding of your market, competitors, and the wider technological landscape. Moreover, even when this information is available, analysing and processing it into a clear and structured strategy with a compelling narrative requires expertise, skills, and resources not always readily available within your organisation.

It is common for companies and organisations to lack the expertise or capacity to conduct thorough market analyses or draw accurate strategic conclusions from the information at hand. We often encounter this lack of resources in small start-ups and scale-ups. However, in any organisation, we see the value of offering objective and holistic perspectives to simplify, create focus, and provide a context for smarter decision-making.

Our industry experts have extensive experience and expertise in preparing business plans, which they are happy to share with you. Using well-established methodologies and analytical tools, they will work with you to develop a business plan that enables you to start, grow, and successfully tackle your strategic and innovation challenges.

With our expertise and experience in preparing business plans, we strive to provide a solid foundation for a value proposition definition and a strategy aligned with market needs and your organisational goals. The methodologies we use are as straightforward as they are well-tested and effective.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all business plans. Our process is tailored, tested, and built on years of experience supporting innovative organisations across Europe. Here is how we work with you:

Together, we start by defining the goals, target audiences, and key focus areas of your business plan.

We shape a concise statement that clearly defines the benefit you deliver, what sets you apart, and how you address real market needs.

We review your existing documentation to spot missing information needed for a strong and complete business case.

Using tools like Wheesbee© and GlobalData, as well as public sources and stakeholder validation, we provide insights into your market, competition, and opportunities.

Through workshops, interviews, and working sessions, we shape the key elements of your plan:

  • Executive Summary
  • Ambitions (mission and vision)
  • Market need and your solution
  • Competitive landscape
  • Business and organizational strategy
  • Governance and team
  • Financial plan (ROI, NPV, IRR, sensitivity)
  • Risk analysis

As an innovator or business owner, you often have just a few minutes to make your case (10 minutes). Yet many pitches prioritize detail over clarity—making it harder for investors to connect with the story. We help you translate your business plan into a clear, compelling pitch deck and guide you on how to present it effectively. The goal: to boost your chances of securing funding by making your value proposition easy to understand—and hard to ignore.
