For over 20 years, Growthink has assisted companies in conducting market research, developing financial models, writing business plans, and crafting offering packages to raise capital. Since that time, Growthink clients have successfully raised more than $1 billion in capital and have built some of the most successful businesses across numerous sectors.
What separates Growthink advisory from other firms in the business planning space is GT Securities, the Company’s partner Investment Bank. With a track record of successfully representing clients in their pursuit of financing—Growthink’s consulting team knows what investors are looking for.
- A good idea, product or service is the beginning, but investors and banks don’t invest in or lend to ideas. Rather, they are interested in Companies. Successful companies are able to answer all the big questions about their product or service and, articulate a clear value proposition to serve a sizeable and growing market. Successful companies are also able to present a compelling marketing plan, complete operations plan, reasonable financial projections, and a solid management team in a well laid out business plan.
- Many of our clients can begin to answer the above questions verbally, but need to be prompted with well-thought out and careful questioning. We take the role of an investor in these discussions, asking all the tough questions and gauging the quality of a client’s responses and their ability to stand up to investor scrutiny. This allows us to begin to draft the business plan based on a client’s vision, but more importantly to identify the areas that need more work. Growthink can give advice to strengthen the Company’s overall strategy and can suggest appropriate ways to position the business so as to be attractive to potential investors.
- Our process begins by conducting market research to validate the business opportunity; followed by developing a detailed 5 year financial model with all the necessary projections (typically an income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows) based on the market research data collected; then drafting a complete business plan conveying the market opportunity, financial drivers, service/product overview, management team strengths, marketing plan, operations and execution plan.

Below is a representative sample of successful clients.
Biddees
Biddees™ harnesses the power of decreasing price auctions to create a fun, fast and convenient opportunity for customers to buy a wide selection of prepaid cards at a guaranteed discount from face value. Biddees™ auctions prepaid cards issued by national retailers and leading financial service companies such as Amazon, Wal-Mart, Visa and MasterCard. The Company also auctions prepaid cards in categories of goods and services where consumers do not typically receive any discounts such as mobile phone services, sporting and concert tickets, travel, gasoline, groceries and restaurants. Growthink helped the company develop a strategic growth plan and documented it in the company’s business plan. Growthink also developed an investor presentation.

MJW Solutions is an emerging provider of premier healthcare products and equipment.
