Your business stage is EARLY STAGE.
Congratulations!
At this stage you surely worked out your customers and products, you know how to deliver it and at which price.
The main goals at this stage are to make every part of your supply chain and delivery process as streamlined and efficient as possible and to come up with as much as possible complete and comprehensive green business plan. This means that you should try to settle on a handful of ‘core products/services’ designed to be as easy as possible to be tested and to work.
A green business plan is not just required to secure funding at the start-up phase, but is a vital aid to help you to manage your business more effectively.
The early stage ends when you have worked out the core products/services, delivered to a target customer and sold at a unit price that makes the product both affordable for the customer and profitable for you. Remember at this stage you’ll have to come up with a green business plan.
In order to support you during this stage the SwitchMed programme developed a specific methodology for the development of the green business plan in order to achieve all the objectives successfully.

Food for thoughts!
The investor point of view at the early stage:
→ At this stage investors mostly want to know whether you and your team have the skills to find the best business model quickly enough. They also wonder if you are agile and flexible enough to iterate until you have a viable and replicable business model.
→ They will not expect you to have a fully developed business but have a consolidate business plan will definitely help you.
