Now that you have a good idea to develop and you are motivated to make it operational you need to have "all the right cards" in order to proceed with the implementation of your project.

In this chapter, we will discuss 3 important topics for the development of a project:

  • Market analysis
  • Fundings

First of all it is necessary to understand how the project can have an economic and/or social impact.

In this chapter we are going to treat a fundamental subject for the development of your business:

  • the marketing
  • the market and needs analysis

After having ascertained that the idea is feasible and achievable and after having determined and clarified what the impact it will have on the current market, we must tackle the issue of financing. There are several ways to finance your project.

Finally it is important to have clear laws and regulations in force. Each country has its own laws and regulations, so it is useful to get acquainted with it in order to do things properly and according to the law. This will allow you not to have too many hitches along your way.
