Hire a business plan expert in Greece and Cyprus

The plan and the financial model behind a decision with money on it, built for the readers who will test them.

Most business plans in Greece and Cyprus argue the owner's case instead of answering the questions the reader will ask. A business plan expert writes the plan for the people who will test it, with a financial model that holds up behind it. The reader is usually one of these:

A bank credit committee that has seen every optimistic plan before
An investor who tests the market case before the numbers
An EU-funded program evaluator scoring the file against the call's criteria
A board or family council asked to back an expansion or an acquisition

The business plan experts on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from corporate finance and transaction services at Big 4 firms, from top strategy houses and from CFO and banking roles where they read plans for a living before they wrote them.

What does a business plan expert actually do?

Shape the plan to its reader, from a credit committee to a family council
Ground the market case in real demand, real competitors and real constraints
Build the financial model from explicit assumptions that diligence can examine
Show what happens when assumptions miss, with scenarios a reader can follow
State the funding requirement and its uses, matched to what the plan can carry
Prepare the owner to defend it under questioning, not only to present it

How to choose the right business plan expert

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

Knows why plans get rejected
Has read plans for a credit committee, a fund or a program evaluator, and can say why most of them fail.
Asks for evidence first
Asks for the sales history, the customer list and the cost base before drafting a single page.
Ask sized from the model
Sizes the funding request from the cash needs in the model, not from what the owner hopes to raise.
