CPFP Grant Business Plan

The Capital Projects Feasibility Programme (CPFP) Grant

CPFP Grant is a cost-sharing grant that contributes to the cost of feasibility studies likely to lead to projects that will increase local exports and stimulate the market for South African capital goods and services. The grant is offered to a maximum of 50% of the total costs of the feasibility study for projects outside Africa and 55% of the total costs of the feasibility study for projects in Africa and is capped at R8 million.

A good business plan guides you through each stage of starting and managing your business. Dream Team Capital can assist if you are thinking of starting a new, expanding your current or purchasing an existing business and require the development of a professional Business Plan. Our developments are often used to create a vision for a business venture, secure funding, secure non-repayable business grants, attract team members and/or managing the business.

Elements of a comprehensive CPFP Grant Business Plan include:

•Executive summary: Is an overview of your business and its plans. It comes first in the business plan and is ideally 1 to 2 pages.

•Body: Includes specifics on how are you going to take your opportunity and turn it into a business. This section covers your marketing and sales plan, operational plans, milestones, and metrics for success.

•Company and management summary: This section describes the current management and staffing team, as well as future additions to it. Also provide an overview of your legal structure, premises, and history if you are already operating.
