Business Plan Consulting Testimonials

Although references are not published routinely, we always ask our customers to submit a short feedback. Since we have started asking for feedback (this is the case only since the middle of 2015), we have received the following reports from customers.

 

“Mr. Görbert was responsible for the financial planning and the business plan for the expansion of our company Höhenbalance. I was very pleased with his performance. Our business model is in fact extremely complex, but Mr Görbert spared neither the time nor the effort to lay out the budget accurately in a 20-page Excel file, thus providing us with an extremely important tool for our meetings with investors. I was most impressed by how accessible and helpful Mr Görbert was throughout the time we cooperated. It’s very nice for me to know that I can rely on such a reliable expert at any time. I would definitely recommend BrainHive.”
Klaus Albrecht, Höhenbalance Marketing und Vertriebs GmbH, mountain air generators for altitude training, www.hoehenbalance.de

 

“I turned to BrainHive to prepare a business plan urgently because we needed to obtain financing for our new company in the truck part trade. Mr. Görbert quickly delivered a professional plan and we were able to found the company without any pressure. We also contracted BrainHive’s affiliated interactive agency for a web shop for another project, in which case good work and further marketing advice were also provided. Thank you for the excellent cooperation, in particular the good interpersonal communication. ”
Kirill Engelhardt, Engelhardt Consulting, www.kurz-parking.com

 

“BrainHive was recommended to me by my tax consultant. The cooperation was very pleasant and my business plan for a fashion boutique for exclusive Italian fashion was created quickly and in very high quality. I was especially pleased with the short response time and excellent accessibility, even with the corrections afterwards. Everything was great, so I can recommend BrainHive in all good conscience. ”
Diana Schwaigert, Viadi Boutique Sole Proprietorship, Munich

 

“My business plan involved a very complex and major project, namely a rehabilitation center for psychosomatic treatment of senior executives suffering from burnout or other aggravating psychological conditions who were working in Mallorca and each had several dozen employees. The plan was created in order to obtain a loan, respectively media sponsorship in the amount of several million euros. I was surprised by how quickly and accurately Mr. Görbert gathered all the necessary information and made every effort to substantiate the prospective success of my approach with plausible arguments. Apart from a really good price- performance ratio, the interpersonal communication was very pleasant, and I’m glad I turned to BrainHive – a truly recommendable start-up consultancy.”
Gabriela Heidrich, La Isla S.L. Rehabilitation Centre, Palma de Mallorca

 

„I contracted BrainHive to create a business plan to obtain financing for a start-up in the area of SAP consulting. Mr. Görbert delivered a professional plan in several days. The financial plan had to be edited several times because of the bank’s unclear requirements. Mr. Görbert achieved this very quickly and perfectly so that the plan was completed and I could proceed to launch. Thank you for the quick and excellent support.“
Hussein Chokr, SAP Consultant, www.stcservices.de
