2. What industries do you specialize in?
We take pride in our ability to learn the fundamentals of virtually any industry or technology quickly. Some of the markets we have served include administration and business support, Public Administration, home-schooling, education/e-learning, manufacturing, retail, food service, consumer goods and services, media and entertainment, hospitality management, marketing management, insurance, information, and communication technology, IT networking and architecture, IT security, entertainment, and events planning, advisory services, and small, medium enterprises. Having said that, our value to the table is more than just industry but rather an understanding of what shareholders/stakeholders like to see in a potential opportunity and sustainable competitive advantage.
3. Can you guarantee that our plan will raise capital?
No. Technology Inc cannot make that guarantee (and anyone ever makes that guarantee, run, run fast). Every business, irrespective of size, needs a plan, but a plan alone will not attract funding or how well you present yourselves to investors, or how well you answer their questions. We guarantee that we will do all that is necessary to ensure that you are prepared and positioned to operate. We can coach, and we can mentor, but it is your business at the end of the day, and you must close the deal.
4. Can you help us raise money?
Technology Inc. may occasionally make informal introductions to potential investors or other intermediaries. In general, only persons licensed with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) can legally arrange financing. Please seek legal counsel and make sure that they registered with the FSC before hiring. Failing to do so may expose you and your company to significant liability.
5. Do you ever invest in your clients?
No, we are management consultants, not investors.
6. Do we really need a business plan?
Yes, once you are operating a business, whether small, medium, or large, you need a business plan. Sometimes it is best to have more than one. For example, you may need one for raising capital and another for running your business. A plan to raise capital is condensed, straightforward, quick to grasp, and strategically written designed to persuade potential investors to pick up the phone and invite you to their offices for an initial meeting. It is imperative that the plan is very attractive and sells the organization’s strengths and potential opportunities. A plan to operate the business is more detailed, serving as a day-to-day roadmap, particularizing the policies supporting the business’s overall strategy. We specialize in preparing the capital-raising business plan, but many of the by-products are suitable for operating the business plan.
7. Why should we hire a consultant to write our business plan instead of doing it ourselves?
You could easily spend hours or more preparing a grade business plan, financial forecast, and presentation, even if you have a degree. Let us do the heavy lifting and spend this time building your team, product, distribution channels, and customer base. Further, in addition to our expertise in preparing these materials, we offer independent, third-party insights into your business. We may raise questions that you might not have thought to ask.
8. What makes our consultancy so unique?
Most importantly, we are multifaceted, understand the tenets of start-ups, and understand the complexity of doing business, especially in Jamaica. Further, we can navigate and apply our dynamic business principles across public, private, not-for-profit, and work. In a world in which fewer than 1 in 250 businesses are established each year, we are happy to report that our clients stand resolute in our effective diagnosis and results-driven stands that drive their bottom-line, sustain growth strategy, and competitive advantage. Each client is a priority, and the consultancy support is handcrafted to reflect their specific circumstances, yet sharing attributes that investors find appealing.
9. Will you agree with everything I say?
Only if you are always right, recall our job includes helping you avoid mistakes. Hence, we will challenge your ideas and assumptions so that you will be ready for the tough questions when you meet with investors.
10. What happens after you have delivered the final documents?
Our mantra is that you are a client for life. We remain available to answer follow-up questions, provide advice, and make minor changes to the strategies we produced.
11. How do you price your services?
In general, we charge a pre-determined retainer fee. The retainer is determined by:
- The scope of the project, in terms of the tasks and documents you require.
- The sophistication and specific needs of your target audience.
- The quality of your existing materials, including early drafts of business plans, financial forecasts, market research, competitive research, procedural documents, training documents, curricula, standard operating procedure, etc. For instance, if you have a recent, comprehensive research/operational and or financial audit report from a major firm, this may reduce effort significantly.
- The clarity of your vision for your business model, marketing and distribution strategy, financial plans, etc.
- Your availability and willingness to participate in the entire consultancy process.
- The complexity of your industry and business model.
- The availability of industry information.
- The desired timing relative to our workload. In general, “rush” jobs will carry a substantial premium over projects that can be completed as our schedule permits.
In light of the above factors, a typical project’s fees can range from a few thousand dollars to several tens of thousands of dollars. By the way, if you are “price shopping,” you should know that price does not tell the whole story.
12. Will you take all or part of your fees in equity or defer it until we raise capital?
Our retainer is a fixed sum of money paid in full, upfront for an allotted specific period. The retainer fee covers consultation and guidance aligned to our client-consultancy arrangement. The retainer is different from the actual charges guided by the work deliverable schedule or work breakdown structure.
13. What is your refund policy?
The retainer fee is non-refundable. Once we receive a retainer, our work begins, resources are allocated to prioritize your business needs to ensure that you receive the best possible experience. Payments are made based on project deliverables; hence, the client is not built for work not completed.
14. Will you sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)?
Gladly. We prefer to use a Mutual NDA so that our own trade secrets can be protected as well.
15. Where are you located, and how do you work with clients outside of your local area?
We can be reached via email at solutions@technologyinc.com or visit our website at www.technologyinc.com. Our first initial meeting is virtual. Currently, we conduct face-to-face in close proximity to your locations. We rely heavily on the phone, email, and online meeting tools. If desired, we are available to visit you at your offices for a day or two at a time.
16. Are your materials all that we need to start looking for capital?
Not necessarily. Your attorney should be able to supply supplemental materials to ensure that your offering complies with your countries business and financial regulations. You will also need to assemble all of the documents that your business uses for our review; however, it depends on the type of consultancy being engaged.
17. What are your qualifications?
We are all experienced entrepreneurs, business, and management professionals with IT, Insurance and Education, and training experience. We have mixed of Masters, Certification, and Accreditations. Most importantly, we have proven records of accomplishment.
18. Do you have references?
Certainly, we would be pleased to introduce you to our past clients. However, in order to respect the time and generosity of our past clients, we provide references as the final step before you sign the engagement letter.
19. Why Education Is A Part Of Technology Inc.?
Technology Inc. understands that “technology” encompasses life. Hence, we use technology to
enhance education and training which makes learning fun. The varied learning preferences require an agile and innovative learning environment that’s what Technology Inc. brings to education. We use technology to find solutions for businesses, technology and education.
20. What does home schooling consultancy entails?
Technology Inc. based on its diverse group of professionals utilize the learning preferences to dictate how the curriculum is delivered. Using the homeschooling model enhances this strategy by putting
the learner and there needs centerfold. The tutors are guided by the learning preference and the subjects are delivered to ensure that the learner grasps and understands the curriculum at their own pace. Therefore, the consultancy entails (1) evaluating the learner to determine their personality, their method of learning and their learning readiness level (2) designing the lesson plan while aligned to the curriculum but based on the learners’ preference (3) assisting with the design and set
of the learning area/space within the home. This includes making recommendation on the type of learning equipment, technology and tutor required for this particular learner (4) though optional the
consultancy may include technology Inc. monitoring of the child, communicating the progress of the learner to the parents, providing the tutor with ongoing support to enrich the curriculum delivery.
