SUPPORT PROCESS IN THE CREATION OF COMPANIES
New Innovative Companies with a Technological Base entail significant risk, linked to technological and market uncertainties. In order to minimize many of these risks, the processes prior to maturing in these types of initiatives acquire a key importance. That is why the services must be organized in an adequate manner, responding to needs of a technical, economic, infrastructure and support nature.
At Entreprenari, we respond to these needs in:
1.-
ACCEPTANCE AND EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT
After the first contact meeting, in which the person/team presents us their project, an analysis process of it begins so as to evaluate its suitability.
How do we do it?
- Evaluation Questionnaire, completed by the project person/team.
- Search for Complementary Information and/or reinforce the key aspects
- Evaluation of the Project by the Entreprenari technical team, supported by experts when it is deemed necessary.
The process is carried out in absolute confidentiality.
If it is considered that the project has an opportunity, we pass on to the next stages:
2.- DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT
The success of the new company will depend on it being correctly defined. Two milestones are considered in the development phase:
1.- Business Model (pre-feasibility plan).
2.- Feasibility Plan and Business Plan
For the development of this phase we use the following resources:
2.1.- FINANCING
The aid from Ekintzaile/Txekintek,the Regional Council of Gipuzkoa and the Basque Government’s Department of Industry, which can be up to 60,000 €, is managed.
2.2.- EVALUATION
- Each project is assigned a personal tutor who backs the process.
- Access to experts in different disciplines.
2.3.- INFRASTRUCTURE
- Availability of work spaces and resources.
- Additional services: customer service, courier, reprography.
- Resources: access to sources of information, databases…
2.4.- TRAINING
Two courses are held annually with the aim of management training for the promoters of the initiative.
- Programme in the creation and management of innovative companies
- FROM TECHNOLOGY TO THE BUSINESS WORLD
3.- CREATION OF THE COMPANY
Once the business plan is defined, the creation process begins.
The support in this phase consists in:
- Support in the search for financing.
- Management of public aid.
- Identification and negotiation with potential partners.
- The physical space where the company will be located (Incubator) and included services.
4.- LAUNCH OF THE COMPANY
