Client Background
ABC Innovations, a small tech startup specialising in sustainable energy solutions, approached us after struggling to secure funding for their innovative solar-powered charging stations. Despite having a solid business concept, the client faced repeated rejections from investors and financial institutions.
The Challenge
The client initially tried applying for funding independently, using a self-written business plan and financial projections. However, their efforts revealed several issues:
Lack of Clarity: The business plan was overly detailed, making it hard for financiers to extract key information quickly and understand the business model.
Inaccurate Financial Forecasts: Financial projections lacked credibility due to unrealistic assumptions and insufficient market research.
No Tailored Approach: Applications were generic, failing to align with the specific requirements of financiers.
Our Approach
After an in-depth consultation, we identified key areas for improvement:
Business Plan Overhaul: We simplified the business plan, ensuring it was clear, concise, and focused on the unique value proposition.
Financial Forecasting: We developed accurate and realistic financial models based on current market trends.
Custom Applications: We tailored funding proposals to align with the priorities of the potential financier, emphasising sustainability and growth potential.
The Outcome
With our support, ABC Innovations successfully secured funding from a private investor, receiving R1.5 million to expand their operations. The investor cited the polished business plan and realistic financials as critical decision factors.
