Busi­ness case

A busi­ness case is a part of an in­vest­ment process. It can be seen as the jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for mak­ing a cer­tain in­vest­ment. The exact way in which this jus­ti­fi­ca­tion is given is not fixed how­ev­er, busi­ness case is used as a catch-all term for a range of pos­si­bil­i­ties to work out this jus­ti­fi­ca­tion.

In a busi­ness case, the en­tire project is set out in dif­fer­ent parts. First, the back­ground of the project is ex­am­ined. What is the rea­son for the steps to be taken? In ad­di­tion, it is im­por­tant not to lose sight of the con­nec­tion with the cur­rent busi­ness op­er­a­tions.

Next, var­i­ous op­tions, also called sce­nar­ios, are ex­am­ined in de­tail and worked out. These elab­o­ra­tions can be, for ex­am­ple, dif­fer­ent al­ter­na­tives of a fu­ture lay­out. It is pos­si­ble that in some sce­nar­ios the risks will not out­weigh the ben­e­fits that the sce­nario in ques­tion en­tails. The fi­nan­cial as­pect also plays a role. Per sce­nario the ex­pect­ed in­vest­ment (CAPEX and/or OPEX) is cal­cu­lat­ed. Based on all the above fac­tors, a choice is fi­nal­ly made.

As you can read, there is quite a bit of work in­volved in work­ing out a de­tailed busi­ness case. At Dapp, we have suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed sim­i­lar projects for var­i­ous clients in the food sec­tor.
