Project Planning and Grower Support

- - Project Planning If you are in the early planning stages for a commercial aquaponics business, our Aquaponics Project Planning service or our Commercial Aquaponics Planning Kit is where you should start. There are many facets of writing a business plan and, like any business; it requires a solid foundation. The Project Plan report is an in-depth look at the project. The information provided is specific to your project. This information can be integrated into a business plan, which encompasses your business as a whole. The project plan is not a business plan. It is an integral part of planning an aquaponics venture. Whether you are self-funding, seeking funds from a bank, an investor or a grant, you need a clear understanding of the startup costs, operation costs and potential income, equipment required to achieve that. Additionally, you need a plan for training and support to demonstrate that you are capable and will be a good manager of the business and marketer of the fish and produce.
