Phases of the Proposal Process

The business proposal will progress through the following formal phases:

  1. Proposal Phase: The business proposal is presented to the state, initiating a thorough examination and discussion of the proposal between the state representatives and the prospective business owner.

  2. Approval Phase: Subsequent to the comprehensive evaluation and assessment of the proposal's compatibility with local regulations and feasibility, the state authority will render a decision of either approval or denial.

  3. Payment Phase: Upon receiving the state's approval, a meeting will be scheduled between the prospective business owner and the designated representative, Oz. During this meeting, contractual agreements will be finalized and the necessary payment transactions will be executed.

  4. Construction Phase: Once the payment process is concluded, the construction phase commences. This phase encompasses an in-depth review, conducted by the designated representative, of the business's intended location and related considerations. Following the placement of the MLO, an additional review will be conducted to identify any required modifications or adjustments before the development team proceeds with the implementation of core business functions such as item crafting and establishment of shops.

  5. Finalization Phase: Upon the completion of construction activities, a final inspection and evaluation of the business premises will be conducted. If the work meets the required standards and expectations, the construction phase will be deemed finalized. Any subsequent modifications or enhancements to the business will be subject to additional costs.

  6. Launch Phase: The business will be prepared for its official opening, involving the transfer of all relevant assets and responsibilities to the new business owner. A grand opening event can be organized to celebrate the commencement of operations.

Cost of starting a new business

The cost of starting a business is determined by a few factors, such as:

  • Business Type and Industry: The nature of the business and the industry it operates in will significantly influence the starting costs. For example, a service-based business may have lower upfront costs compared to a manufacturing or retail business.

  • Inventory and Raw Materials: If your business involves selling physical products, estimate the cost of acquiring initial inventory or raw materials.

  • The choice of location can impact costs, including purchase of property, renovations and/or modifications.

There may also be OOC costs depending on the location and if there is a MLO available. The cost of purchasing the MLO will fall on the business owner.
