ECOMMERCE BUSINESS PLAN

Writing an ecommerce business plan is a lot of effort but it will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

We look at the ecommerce Business Plan as a brainstorming process. We confirm business concepts, target audience and goals while we brainstorm. We understand the revenue expectations, operations, costs, and resources required for business.

Finally, we put this on an excel sheet to do a what if analysis.

Once the brainstorming and t e what if analysis is over you will be able to: check the viability of the project and have a clear roadmap with you.
