Business planning

Business plan is a document that allows evaluation of either company or project development potential. Each investment project requires business plan which would allow assessment of project growth rate, return on investment as well as other details. Business plan also gives an answer  whether given project is worth investing in today.

International Standards of Business Planning clearly state the requirements of Business Plan drafting and UkrAgroConsult analysts follow the rules and guidelines of the Standard.
