10. Expectations: In the deal screening stage , an EBP is expected to
communicate that.
a) Key success factors and risk can be clearly identified and are
understood:
b) The venture has a large projected market with good potential
market penetration:
c)
A strategy for commercialization , profitability , and market
dominance is present :
d) A strong proprietary and competitive position can be established
and protected .
Milestone : Hindle (1997) Suggests that the writer of an EBP must
„‟identify all major plan objectives, primarily as financial target.
Opportunity : Because no opportunity lasts forever and because
consumer trends and tastes, the competitive landscape , and
technological innovation all evolve over time , an initial
opportunity inevitable change.
11. Context: Four key aspects should be covered by an EBP
to adequately describe the context within which the new
venture is intended to function ( sahlman, 1997).
First , entrepreneurs
should demonstrate how the new
venture‟s context helps b hinders their specific proposal.
Second , EBP writers should demonstrate how the venture‟s
context will change, describe how those changes,
Third , the EBP should spell out what management can do in
the event the context grows unfavorable.
Fourth , The EBP should explain the ways in which the
entrepreneurial team can affect context in a positive way.
The Business Model : the business model is brief statement of
how an idea actually becomes a business that creates value.
Team : at this point in the preparation of an EBP , the
credibility of the venture comes into play , and the first
principle of credibility relates to the decision makers--
12. Elaboration : The capability to elaborate, to break down individual
task in to their subparts , is also critical to new venture credibility.
Scenario integration: Sahlman (1997) suggest that claiming an
insuperable lead b a propriety market position is naive.
Financial link: In the presentation of financial in an EBP , the key
assumptions related to market size, presentation rates, and timing
issues of market context substantiated in the text of the EBP should
be linked directly to the financial statements ( hindle, 1997)
The deal: If the main idea behind the planning process is to enact a
harvest , then one of the primary purpose of an EBP is naturally to
attract an investor , there by linking input and output through the
planning /financing process.
