OUR METHOD
After carefully revising the market conditions, we select a business model from Integrator to Licensor, defining the key areas that add value to the business overall and presenting a suggestion as to those
areas that are needed but are not part of the core competencies of the firm. Having helped several hundreds of start-ups, we
realize that experience, intuition, financial analysis and creativity all play key roles
in the development of a sound business plan.
Our clients are engaged in
the process by proving technical and industrial/market expertise. We
add the entrepreneurial and managerial skills and tools.

In 2005
Alicia Castillo worked with my company, BioSonics, Inc., to develop
a business plan for our Aquaculture Feeding Monitor product. Alicia
came to our offices in Seattle Washington and interviewed members of
our staff and toured our facility to achieve a good understanding of
our companies’ capabilities. Our product is unique in that it was
developed in the United States but will have a market launch focused
on the Chilean Salmon Farming Industry. Alicia’s vast experience in
the business practices of both countries was invaluable in the
creation of the business plan. Her product was thorough,
professional and completed on time. We are now beginning the
exciting process of executing the plan and anticipate success in
attracting investor financing and product launch in 2006.

CASE
A US based company and a Chilean Association joined
efforts to develop a new technology on acquaculture.
They needed to determine the best way to present
the technology to capture the largest market and potentially secure
venture capital.
With a collaborative effort in 2 countries and
incorporating 2 other teams of consultants, we finalized a
comprehensive business plan.
As a result we identified:
Ideal corporate structure
Entry strategy (local and global)
Key distinctive high value propositions and complementary services
No
need for external funding
Price, sales cycle and team structure locally and globally.
Procurement service, incorporating local suppliers in both countries
Declining markets where no returns could be expected
