It is necessary to contemplate its viability, its weapons to compete, its differentiating elements with what already exists in the market. But also, its ability to be attractive to investors and consumers. When analysing if a project can become a reality, it is necessary to contemplate both the scenario in which it will be developed and its nature, its characteristics, its viability, its weapons to compete, its differentiating elements from what already exists in the market and, too often, its ability to be attractive to investors and consumers. In its birth and constitution, a good presentation is a necessary element. The idea is that the business idea is “salable” to investors and organisations that have to contribute capital to infrastructure, and that the necessary collaboration is achieved so that the project can see the light.

Thus, it is as necessary to investigate in depth the viability of entrepreneurship as having a document -which shows its DNA, its characteristics, its capacity for development, its cost and its potential- capable of attracting potential travel companions. This document is a good business plan. There are many types, since its structure and format must be adapted to both the characteristics of the business and the type of investors to be captured. In general, you must have several multimedia elements and not be limited to a text. In addition to text, graphics, photographs, numerical analysis, explanatory diagrams, and even video, they can be very useful tools to make a project draw attention to a presentation. In it, the basic lines of the business and its viability must be clear.
