Business planning and plausibility

Overview

Robust business planning provides the basis for forward-looking corporate management. It supports decision-makers in fulfilling their duties of care and identifying risks at an early stage. At the same time, it demonstrates the viability of the business model to stakeholders and provides the basis for appropriate financing.

Our reviews of business plans are objective, transparent and traceable. They provide assurance regarding the underlying assumptions and strengthen the confidence of equity and debt investors.

The review of the business plan is complemented by a systematic analysis of the business model, market environment and key planning assumptions. The plan is thoroughly assessed in terms of content consistency, mathematical accuracy and integration. In particular, for integrated business plans, we ensure that the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement are internally consistent and based on a robust methodology.
