TRANSCRIPT
Business Plan
In this presentation we use some times: IBB for International Business Bank.
What will be the difference with International Business Bank and traditional bank?
The difference will be that traditional bank operation is passive, International Business Bank operation will be active.
International Business Bank will have thousands of bank representatives in hundreds of countries.
These representatives will search for clients, help clients with their banking needs at clients’ languages, place and
time.
Thanks to this idea we will not need to have a big office network.
Plan is to have 4-5 offices in strategically locations around the world, to cover important license areas.
The clients will be saving time and money, they can concentrate on making more money.
Our clients will get the best possible international bank service that exist. Most part of the world in business banking
the bank visits is only for to sign documents. Also to talk and get new products and information. Why a client need to
spend entire day on to go to their bank for sign some papers?
We bring the bank to the client for to sign the papers. Same time representative get to know the client
and client’s needs, representative may offer client better banking services, and sign up client for other services.
The clients will be saving time and money, clients can concentrate on making more money.
Thanks to this system the IBB operational cost can be kept on a low but very effective level. The effective ratio on
each € will be very high. We will get more own capital, that make it possible to give better offer than other banks that
need to lend money for to lend them to their clients.
Representatives need to have 1 clients per week for to make some money, and deposits over 1 000 000 €. We look in
2 years to have more than 500 representatives around the world.
500 reps X 1 000 000€ deposit/client X 50 weeks =25 000 000 000 €/year. Off-course there will be institutional
clients that go in for lots of more, and all representative may not get up to the goal. Lets calculate that only 50% will
get to the goal = 12 500 000 000 €/ year. Or maybe only 10% = 2 500 000 000€ / year. I present this as risk
calculation for investors or lenders.
