Discuss my business plansPlan the operating business before choosing a route
Describe what the customer will actually use
Write a plain account of who buys the product, how they sign up, what they pay for and who is responsible when something goes wrong. If the product handles funds or assets, draw the steps from the customer’s instruction through settlement or delivery. Identify each organisation involved and the country where it performs its work. This gives advisers a concrete model to assess rather than a product name.
Compare a new company, an acquisition and a partner
Use the same product description for each route. For a new company, check what needs to be built before trading. For an acquisition, ask which operating capabilities and obligations are included. For a partner model, ask which activities the partner would perform, what you would still own and what would happen if that agreement ended. Compare the routes against your intended markets and available operating team.
Separate commitments from assumptions
Record dependencies in order: advice, provider acceptance, staff, contracts, technical integration and whatever approvals your advisers identify. Make a note beside each item of who can confirm it and what evidence they need. An indicative proposal is useful for planning, but avoid counting an unconfirmed partner or an assumed permission as something the business already has. Ask which tasks can proceed without committing to the full route.
Write a brief a provider can answer
State the product, intended customer markets, business owners’ role, planned operating team and any systems already selected. Specify what you want assessed and what you need delivered. Ask providers to distinguish work included in their proposal from third-party costs, decisions or inputs. This makes quotes comparable and gives you a record of the assumptions that would have to be revisited if the plan changes.
