What services will you get?
Developing a business plan that can be successfully defended in front of critical bankers and investors includes these components:
Elaborating the business model
The business model answers questions such as: Which products and services are sold? To which target groups? What are the USPs, opportunities and risks? How will marketing and sales be set up? What could go wrong and how would you counteract it?
Modeling the financial plan
We model cash flows from sales, costs, investments and financing. You get a cash flow plan that shows how much money you really need, and when, and how much your company will earn later. You can answer your bank how quickly you will pay back the loan.
Bankable business plan
You will receive your business plan with a description of the business model, products, market, target groups, marketing and sales, opportunities and risks, financial figures and capital requirements. It is delivered as a PDF.

Customized business plan
Why should an expert prepare your business plan?
At the bank, you only have one shot. With a professional business plan and a convincing appearance, you will most likely receive your financing and can take off with your project!
That’s why you should put your business plan in professional hands:
I know the requirements of bankers and investors
As a former private equity exec and management consultant at McKinsey, I know the other side of the table. I know exactly what is important for banks and investors to accept your business plan.
Analyzed and wrote many business plans
As a private equity manager for many years, I have analyzed more than 200 business plans and evaluated and improved the business models. And as the author of ca. 100 business plans, I have gained even more invaluable experience.
Served as a juror in business plan competitions
I was a juror for business plan competitions for a long time and can very well assess the low chances of success of home-grown business plans.
Gained substantial management experience
My management experience includes positions as Managing Director at Sartorius Separation Engineering, Sales Director at Sartorius Asia and Chief Financial Officer at SuSE Linux AG (CFO and COO). I hold an MBA from London Business School and a degree in business administration from Goethe University Frankfurt.
My business expertise covers both sales and marketing as well as finance and controlling.

The 5 most important questions from bankers
Is the entrepreneur making a good impression?
Can I, as a banker, recommend my superiors to entrust him/her with money?
Are the documents and his/her appearance professional, well-structured, goal-oriented, clear and concise?
Does he/she know his/her stuff and is he/she persuasive? Is he/she capable of giving good answers to critical questions?
How much capital is required?
Capital requirement does not only mean investments, but also the capital needed for inventories, receivables, advertising costs, start-up losses, contingencies etc.
Will cash flow be sufficient to service our loans?
Will the company have enough cash flow to pay interest and repay the loan?
Because profit is one thing, liquidity is quite another.
Will earnings be sufficiently high?
Will this new company make a profit? Will profits be high enough? And does the business model have the potential to last? Or even grow?
What could go wrong?
Has the entrepreneur adequately presented imponderables in the business plan for the bank? And did he develop plausible countermeasures?
