Business Case Preparation or Validation
We help to elaborate and validate the proposed budget planning for public agencies, while in the private sector it is more a question of the financial viability of the project in order to secure maximum return on investment. This includes a full review of supply/demand for the type of services expected, SWOT analysis, commercial due diligence, cost benefit analysis, socio-economic benefits/estimated impact, etc.Concept Definition
