2ic Strategy Group (2ic) writes professional end-to-end business plans for your clients and portfolio companies. Our professional business plans appeal to investors, free up your time and can significantly increase results. 2ic can provide support at the early stages of client approaches by providing templates, "model" plan structures and speed the early filtering, review and upgrade process. We can also upgrade your clients' current business plans to improve professionalism and results.
Using our proprietary suite of research based "best practice" assessments we can:
- Provide business skills due diligence for venture capital firms. The company may have an excellent product, but do they have the business skills that will be necessary to bring the product to market?
- Help with the transition from a private or family owned approach to a public way of doing business. Get them thinking more like a CEO and help prepare for the scrutiny they will experience with stockholders, banks, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.
- Provide annual structured portfolio business reviews.
The advantages of Smart Sourcing from 2ic include:
- Increased "deal flow." The time you spend writing, creating drafts, faxing, calling and waiting on information is better used raising capital, structuring deals and developing new clients
- Reduced due diligence costs
- Enhanced corporate governance
