Starting a business
Start your business with a copilot, not alone facing the unknown.
A start-up rarely fails because of a bad idea: it fails because the business model was never tested against reality, the price was set by guesswork, and the first months were run on instinct. Being supported means turning an intuition into a fundable project and a business built to last.
Symptoms
The signals you probably recognise.
- You have a strong idea, but no certainty that anyone will pay for it.
- The price is set by comparing with competitors, with no link to your actual costs.
- The financial forecast is an exercise imposed by the bank, not a decision-making tool.
- You don't know where your first ten customers will come from or how much they'll cost to acquire.
- Legal status, financing, insurance, tools: everything happens at once and nothing is decided.
- You are the only one deciding, with no one to challenge your assumptions before they become costly.
Impact
What it really costs.
Launching without proper scoping rarely costs you in the first month: it costs you in the twelfth, when cash runs out before the model finds its balance.
start-ups don't make it past the five-year mark.

Frequently asked questions
What business owners ask us.
- As early as possible, ideally before filing the articles of association. Support pays off the most exactly when the business model, price and target are being decided. Stepping in afterwards means fixing already costly choices.
- They secure the legal, tax and administrative framework: essential and complementary. We work on the commercial and economic side of the project: offer, price, target, first customers, cash trajectory and steering the first 12 months.
- No. An idea is exactly the right material for a scoping exercise: we test it against the market, an acceptable price and your financing capacity before you invest time and money.
- Scoping takes a few weeks. Launch support usually runs 3 to 6 months, with regular check-ins, until you reach your first customers and can steer autonomously.
