Management consulting
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 are written for the wrong reader: they argue the owner's case instead of answering the questions a bank, an investor, an EU-funded program evaluator, or a sceptical board will actually ask. A business plan expert builds the document and the financial model for the people who will test them: market evidence in place of ambition, assumptions that hold up in diligence, scenarios for when reality disagrees, and a funding requirement stated honestly.
The business plan experts on Hellenic Talent come 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. They have prepared plans for fundraises, bank facilities, EU-funded programs, and the internal approvals of family businesses and corporates across Greece and Cyprus.
What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.
Committee-side experience
Has experience on the reading side of plans: credit, investment, or evaluation committees.
Owns every assumption
Builds the financial model personally, and can defend every assumption in it.
Proof before prose
Asks for evidence before drafting, and pushes back when the numbers are dressed up.
Local funding expectations
Knows the expectations of Greek and Cypriot banks, investors, and EU-funded programs.
Flags an unsupported ask
Will tell you the plan does not support the ask, before an outsider does.
A short call is enough to understand the situation and tell you honestly whether the network has the right business plan expert for it.
