OUR SERVICES

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

An initial 2 hour meeting or video conferencing understanding your current business operation or idea.

STEP 2

Discuss the contents of your past history of business, key management roles, review market performance data. An deep dive of understanding your business process. Success stories and challenges encountered.

STEP 3

We analyze historical financial data. Our approach includes activity based cost drivers rooted in your human resource requirements, investment in equipment that would render your operations competitive to the overall market. From this data we build upon sales projections, revenues and projected costs that would allow you to manage your financial risk. We then identify your start-up costs. We build your financial forecast, which would include a forecast of earnings, cashflow statement and balance sheet over a 5 year outlook. This exercise would include your participation and involvement; so you know exactly where each and every number comes from and can explain it to a lender or investor. Our plans are deliberately weighted heavily on the financial forecasting side because this is exactly what Banks, Lenders, Investors, VCs, and Angels are looking for. Our presentation of your business plan is persuasive and appealing to readers through diagrams and illustrations that are easily understood.

STEP 4

In this stage, we start writing the plan and again involve you. We include an overview of the marketplace and your business. We detail what makes your business different from your competition. We outline your sales and marketing strategies. We also explain how the business will be managed and include your roster of strategic partners. But most importantly, we will be clear, concise and to the point. We know that no one has the time or patience to read any more; so we give them only what they want and need. We hold weekly meetings to review questions and issues that allow the client to express his views.

STEP 5

We guide you with a presentation deck that answers key questions or concerns likely to be raised by your audience, whether for Government Immigration Applications or Capital Lenders. Our plans are appealing, simple to follow and easy to read. We also prepare you to “defend” your plan by going over it with you in detail. Although you have been involved throughout the process, we coach you on how to present your plan in the most effective manner.

Chief Operation Officer

Union Powder Coating Inc.

We are an Egyptian based company in the manufacturing and application of powder coating materials and processes. We were fortunate to be introduced to Alex Romano in assisting us through our business plan for our new operation in Ontario, Canada. I was extremely impressed by his presentation and the creation of a well defined business proposal, a legal joint venture agreement and the ability to support our Work Permits to begin our project in Canada. He has provided a full turnkey service from business structure through to immigration services as a licensed immigration consultant. Our relationship has developed into more than an assignment for a business proposal. We would definitely continue to employ his expertise as a future advisor to our Board of Directors for all facets of our business start-up.

His knowledge of manufacturing processes and organizational structure was exceptional . I would highly recommend him as a devoted business consultant who knows how to get the job done!
