Business Plans and Feasibility Studies
RT Associates is focused on helping make the regions we work in more prosperous and productive. The challenges of starting and operating businesses in Canada’s remote northern regions are considerable, but having an informed, comprehensive business plan can often be the deciding factor in determining whether a business is successful or unsuccessful. Business plans begin with the premise that a client wants to start a new business, buy someone else’s business, or expand a current business. Based on the particular scenario, we work with our clients to develop a ‘blueprint’ of how they can achieve their desired goals, including raising the necessary financing.
The business plans that we develop for our client typically address the following:
• Goals and Objectives
• Background
• The overall Business Concept
• Markets and Marketing Plan
• Facilities and Equipment
• Management
• Operational Plan
• Human Resource Plan
• Sources and Uses of Capital
• Cash Flow
• 3-5 Year Financial Projections
• Implementation Plan
• Socio-Economic Benefits
RT Associates has been very successful in developing business plans for all types of clients, ranging from individual entrepreneurs to Aboriginal development corporations and large companies. Our business planning work covers almost every sector of the northern economy: small business, tourism, minerals and mining, arts and crafts, renewable resources, transportation, construction and manufacturing.
