- From the initial concept stage, we can/will consult with the client on the idea of what the new plant will produce and the intended target market/markets.
- When a final decision has been reached on the first phase, the information will be used to develop a preliminary production process, including labor, equipment, and development costs.
- When a final decision has been made in the plant cost phase, we can help the client produce a feasibility/business plan for the venture. Feasibility will include product operations and unit cost, available markets, penetrability of available markets, and profit and loss statements.
- The third phase of the development process involves determining financing for the project. In the financing phase, our ability to provide marketing for the resultant products will be very helpful.
