The team undertook a detailed market and company assessment to identify key business plan components. This included formulating strategic recommendations for new product offerings, optimizing pricing strategies, and assessing cost structures. Furthermore, potential joint-venture partnership structures were explored to enable business growth through collaborations. An investment attraction strategy was also developed to support the company in engaging potential investors and securing financial backing.
