Business Plans
A business plan to support a cross border funding application is quite different from one used to get a loan in your own country. Most people think the only thing that's important is the financial forecasts but as much as financial's are vital, the plan how you will achieve your financial forecasts are more important.
Your business plan is one of the most important document in the entire funding process and can mean the different between finance success or failure. It's therefore essential to get it right the first time, . because "you never get a second chance to make a first impression"
There is NO SUCH THING as a 'standard business plan format' suitable for any kind of funding, anywhere in the world. It's estimated 98% of foreign produced business plans are immediately rejected because they are poorly prepared and do not contain the correct or sufficient information. in the same way every project is different, so every business plan is different too and it's unlikely major lenders will seriously consider a case if the business plan is not in the format they require.
To make a business plan to support an application for many millions of dollars requires great skill and experience and knowledge. All funders need information set out differently depending whether the application is for a debt or equity loan, for equity investment, a joint venture partner, venture capital and so on. The most important person in the funding process is the one that reads your Business Plan; the person writing the plan therefore must know exactly what the reader expects to see. Without that it will almost certainly not be successful.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression with your business plan.
MTA has specialized for many years in making business plans to specifically support cross border funding applications.
The business plan should ideally be written by the project management because they are the best people to do it. We, as part of our service to clients design the outline and format for the plan and set up the template and sections.
Clients are therefore guided exactly what to include in the plan and what to leave out.

That will considerably improve your chance of finance success. And it's because we have been actively involved in arranging all types of project funding for many years have been, we really know how it's done.
