Olsey:I have noticed a trend among the top success stories. Despite the grant sum being listed as between N1-10m, they seem to all have proposals costing under N5m and we really do not have access to other contestants to know the highest grant sum given. |

toluls: Hello, nice thread you got here OP. Pls did you participate in any previous one? Or is there anyone around who has?there is no limit else it would have been stated but it is advisable you keep your plan concise and neat. Usually I don't think it should exceed 5 pages. Be very concise with your proposal while writing under these headings: Introduction Market potential Basis and Presumptions Implementation schedule Technical aspects Financial aspects-fixed and working capital Financial analysis-cost of production, fixed cost These are mainly it, if you know what you are doing, these headings will guide you in writing a very strong business plan in less than 5 typed pages. |

I hate telling pple hw successful my idea will b without hving numbers to back it up.I suggest you drop that plan and work with something else, just my honest opinion. I wanted to go into polythene recycling but the information bottlenecks were just too much, I had to ditch the plan and work with something else and as I have access to information, I have written a very strong plan in under 5 days. Tayeni: hey blink.....heard we hv to follow a certain template....like filling up a form....sorta. Seems you appliedbfor d last one......do you hv d template?This is my first time of applying. I do not know of a template. |
