Business Plan Review
The business plan is a crucial component of both strategic management and investor negotiations. At MKD, we support our clients with an independent review of their business plans, pinpointing areas that may be subject to scrutiny and identifying opportunities for improvement.
The scope of our review is tailored to the specific needs of each client, but it generally includes the following:
– Critical Assumptions: Assessing the business assumptions in the context of historical performance, competitor benchmarks, and market expectations.
– Internal Consistency: Evaluating the relationships between key performance indicators (KPIs), such as growth, margins, working capital, capex, and financing needs.
– Financial Model Review: Verifying the arithmetic accuracy of the Excel model that supports the business plan’s financial projections.
– Sensitivity Analysis: Stress-testing key assumptions to understand their impact on the business plan.

IP Advisory
A robust intellectual property (IP) strategy is crucial for any business seeking to secure its competitive advantage and drive long-term growth.

A well-crafted IP strategy helps identify and protect your most valuable assets, mitigate third-party infringement risks, and unlock revenue through proactive portfolio management. The IP strategy must align with the company’s long-term strategy.
At MKD, we offer comprehensive advisory services, including but not limited to:
– Identification of developed or acquired intangibles
