Financing & planning

Reliable figures as the basis for good decisions – for banks, investors and yourself.

The Geographer · Johannes Vermeer, c. 1669

What it is about

Whether formation, expansion or acquisition: anyone seeking capital or wanting to underpin decisions needs planning that is transparent and realistic. It shows when money flows, where the risks lie and what funds are needed.

We prepare business and cash-flow plans, set up budget-versus-actual analysis and support you in preparing financing.

Who it is for

  • Founders who need capital from banks or investors
  • Companies in phases of growth or change
  • Buyers and sellers of businesses
  • Shareholders who want better control of their figures

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

How long does a business plan take?

That depends on scope and available data. If the key figures are available, it is considerably quicker.

Do I need cash-flow planning if business is going well?

Especially then. Growth ties up capital, and bottlenecks often arise despite strong sales. Planning shows this in good time.

Do you also introduce investors?

We prepare you for discussions and use our network where appropriate. We cannot promise financing.
