Built on what Italian banks and funding bodies assess
In Italy, banks, microcredit providers and public funding programmes routinely ask for a business plan before evaluating a new business. Our reports follow the structure they review:
| What Italian banks and funding bodies assess | How your report covers it |
|---|---|
| Sources and uses of funds | How much you need and how it is covered: own capital, bank loan, grant |
| Monthly cash flow | Whether the business has enough liquidity month by month, including the start-up phase |
| Debt service coverage (DSCR) | How many times operating cash flow covers the loan instalments; banks usually look for at least 1.2x |
| Break-even point | The revenue needed to cover all costs, and the safety margin above it |
| 5-year projections | Income statement, cash flow and balance sheet, year by year |
| Project description | Business model, market, organisation, investment plan |
Who reviews your report
Every report is prepared and personally reviewed by a business planning consultant based in Italy, who works on business planning and new business start-ups and is also qualified as RSPP (workplace health and safety officer under Italian law). Calculations use a tested financial model; digital tools, including AI for drafting, support the work, and nothing is delivered without the consultant’s review.

Know what your investment depends on
A useful business plan makes its assumptions visible. Your report separates the information you supplied, the estimates used and the points that need further verification, so you can see how sales, costs and funding affect the project.
The analysis may show that a project needs adjustment. Its purpose is to support an informed decision, including when the figures do not support going ahead as planned.
Clear scope
A report does not guarantee bank financing, grant funding, investment returns or approval by any authority. The service does not include legal or tax advice, company incorporation, due diligence or submission of applications.
Visa matters require a qualified immigration lawyer. Some routes, such as Italia Startup Visa, ask for a detailed business plan with the application: your lawyer assesses the route, we prepare the plan.
