Commercialisation services (entrepreneurs, inventors and technology developers)

Attempting to take a new product or service from the ideas session or the laboratory or garage to the market place can be a daunting prospect. Among the many issues entrepreneurs, inventors and technology developers need to address are:

• Protection by way of patent, trade mark, etc
• Construction of prototypes
• Independent product testing
• Market research
• Product certifications
• Financial modelling
• Preparation of business plan
• Preparation of information memorandum
• Presentation to potential investors and/or financiers
• Legal issues.

Even more daunting is the fact that there are no "one stop shops" in this process. No one service provider or adviser can attend to all of the above issues. In these circumstances, it is crucial that technology developers have confidence that the process can be managed competently.

Many governments have recognised that early stage companies often require assistance in this process and have established a range of schemes which specifically address the above issues. In short, these schemes are designed to take such companies through to the stage at which they have a credible package to put to potential investors or lenders who can then fund the rollout of the business plan.

Wingarra BMI works with client organisations throughout the commercialisation process, including accessing funding under a range of government assistance programs. We routinely work with them to prepare financial models, business plans and information memoranda. We also tap these companies into professional networks which can attend to technical, legal, intellectual property protection and other issues.
