You have won your first customers and are looking to multiply your success. We help you fine tune your business model through a short, tailor-made programme, which will include selected professionals, chosen according to your specific issues and needs.
This service is appropriate to first- or second-round start-ups, as well as other young companies and SMEs in general, seeking support to their development challenges.
The basis for this programme is a 2-3-page self-assessment questionnaire which we send you to fill out. It concerns topics on product, sales, finance, marketing, branding, legal issues and your business model in general.
After you send us back your questionnaire, we will prepare a draft advisory programme tailored to your needs and expectations that will be validated and agreed on the first workshop. We will organise a three 60- to 90-minute – workshop with selected experts. Each workshop will require some additional preparations for the core team included in the programme.
At the end of the programme you will receive a 2-3 page Expert Recommendations Report to accelerate your growth.
After your evaluation of our expert feedback, you can contact us for a free one-hour consultancy within the next 12 months.
It is highly recommendable to undertake a Short Advisory Programme after having passed a business model diagnosis, which actually provides much more accurate inputs than the 2-3-page Self-Assessment Questionnaire that you will fill in at the beginning and makes the first workshop already fully operational and focused on your needs.
