The Kanzas company provides business planning services for companies, investors and project sponsors: from market analysis and financial modelling to a finished document accepted by banks, investors and international donor organisations. Over 20+ years of consulting practice in Ukraine we have supported projects in real estate development, manufacturing, retail and agriculture — and we know what different audiences expect from a business plan, whether it is a commercial bank, a private investor or the EBRD.
What business planning involves and when you need it
Business planning is the process of substantiating a new project or the growth of an existing business: market research, financial modelling, calculation of investment requirements, payback and risks. The deliverable may be a business plan, a feasibility study or an investment memorandum — depending on who the document is addressed to and what decision it must support.
Companies engage a business plan consultant when they need to raise debt or equity financing, substantiate a project for an international donor or grant programme, make an internal go/no-go decision on a new business line, or confirm the viability of construction or reconstruction. The scope of analysis differs in each case, so we start with the question "who is the document for and what decision does it support" — not with a template.
Our business planning services
- Business plan development — a complete document for a bank, an investor or internal use: market analysis, financial model, sensitivity analysis.
- Feasibility studies — viability assessment for construction, reconstruction or a production launch.
- Business plans for the EBRD and feasibility studies for UNICEF — documents prepared to the formats of international donor organisations.
How we develop a business plan
Our business plan development process has five stages. First, scoping: the addressee of the document, format requirements, planning horizon. Second, market research: we draw on our own desk-research practice in real estate and other markets, so the market section is built on actual data rather than assumptions. Third, the financial model: capital expenditure, operating cash flows, financing sources, performance indicators (NPV, IRR, payback period) and sensitivity analysis for key risks. Fourth, the document itself, written to the addressee's format. Fifth, support: we answer the bank's, investor's or donor's questions and adjust the model based on their feedback.
Business planning within a full consulting cycle
A distinctive strength of the Kanzas company is a complete consulting pipeline under one roof: market analysis → project concept development → feasibility study → business plan → independent valuation of the business or its assets. The client receives internally consistent documents: market figures feed the feasibility study, feasibility calculations feed the financial model of the business plan, and the results can support an independent valuation of the project. This removes the typical problem of stitching together documents from different providers.
Selected projects
Our track record includes feasibility studies for the construction of a cottage community and a shopping and entertainment centre in Kyiv; development concepts for residential and office complexes, including projects involving state institutions; business plans prepared to EBRD formats and feasibility studies for UNICEF programmes. We do not publish client names — confidentiality is a standard of consulting practice; details of relevant experience are available on request.
Frequently asked questions
How is business planning consulting different from business plan writing services? Business planning is a process: research, modelling and decision support. A business plan is one of its deliverables. Sometimes a client actually needs a feasibility study or a project concept rather than a classic business plan — we establish this at the scoping stage.
How much does business plan development cost? The fee depends on the scale of the project, the addressee of the document (bank, investor, donor), the depth of market research and the complexity of the financial model. After a short discussion of your project we provide a proposal with a fixed fee and timeline.
How long does it take? Typically two to six weeks depending on complexity. Documents prepared to donor formats may take longer due to additional substantiation requirements.
Do you provide support after delivery? Yes. Support is part of the engagement: we respond to questions from the bank, investor or donor organisation and adjust the model based on their comments.
When you engage the Kanzas company for business planning, you receive a document built on verified market data and a robust financial model, delivered within the timeline agreed at the start and with close attention to your project and its objectives. Write to us by email or messenger — we will come back with a specific proposal.
