Monthly and yearly detail. To identify a Business Startup Budget expenses - both startup costs (investments and expenses) and ongoing expenses - need to be evaluated on a monthly basis. As well revenue expected based on effective launch of the product or services need to be inputted on a monthly basis, plus revenue expected values need to be integrated with working capital dynamics.

Base,  Bank, Best and Worst case scenarios (3B&W) Startups fail because they run out of money and one of the main reasons they run out of money is because their financial planning consists of optimistic projections of the best-case scenario, based on bad data or no financial planning at all. E-Q financial models take into account scenario analysis, the process of examining and evaluating possible events or scenarios that could take place in the future and predicting the various feasible results or possible outcomes (Corporate Finance Institute Education Inc.) The scenarios are developed based on a list of the key assumptions that are most representative of the company the plan is relating to - e.g. typical risks mentioned by investors approaching the company, volatility of consumer behaviour, etc:

Consequently, in E-Q we realized in collaboration with a startup and its ecosystem BeFound, an assessment methodology that on one side relies upon scientific tests and qualitative thus schematic approaches to assess the person's ability to grow. We defined an evaluation process, which allows us at E-Q together with psychologists and coaches to analyse and synthetize these results to make them interesting for a 'business' evaluation of such personalities.

The combination of a psychologist and a coach can be of great advantage in order to overcome the limitations due to the rigidity of personality assessments.

Therefore, we must understand how the entrepreneurial team is composed and the effects hereof, in order to fully understand the team's performance potential. We at E-Q offer our support assessing the team itself: we take a closer look at the startup team and its members, when investigating startup performance.
