1. Business plan

On one hand, the business plan should exhibit the situation descriptively; on the other hand it should point out the development in a visionary way. The typical ClusterStar approach utilizes a bottom-up approach originating from the individual product and a top-down approach from the global market on the plan to eventually deflect a plausibility check. Target audiences and product use come to the fore of ClusterStar's analysis implicating the cognoscible evolution of the foreseeable future.

2. Corporate structure

ClusterStar's consultation approach creates a balance between current optimization and long-term perspectives . That way, for example, in reference to the country-specific corporate structures like the British Ltd. or the German GmbH, the near-term advantages of lower capital resources for Ltd. are opposed to the disadvantages of additional costs for the acquisition relative to German and English law.
