"Pleased with the professionalism of
HEG’s consultants and the quality of the work delivered..."
Our project is the start-up of a new PreK-12 International
Baccalaureate School in the city of Panama. HEG was initially hired by
our group to carry out the Feasibility Study and Business Plan, which
included the analysis of local market conditions to set up the school,
analysis of market demand based on the study's results, financial
projections of the entire operation for a 10-year period, plus all
activities required to prepare the new school for operation. The
feasibility study included guidance regarding our school's mission and
vision statements, educational philosophy, as well as human resource
requirements, organizational structure, etc. The final deliverable was a
very complete report that covered all aspects of new school development
requirements, which was at an extremely high level of quality for presentation to banks,
investors, and others required for the implementation phase of the
project.
Our group was very pleased with the professionalism of
HEG’s consultants and the quality of the work delivered. The feasibility study
stage required Doug Halladay and another member of his team to travel to Panama
twice – where we had very productive work sessions with our group and were
fortunate to have a good working relation with HEG at all times. In addition to
their visits, we had regularly scheduled teleconferences as the study advanced
and everything worked out well. We feel that the investment was definitely
worthwhile as we were able to receive guidance and advice from experts in the
field, including people who have started-up and owned their own schools. The end-product received from HEG has been very
valuable to our group. The feasibility study and business plan developed by HEG
provided us additional credibility from experts in the field, given HEG’s
extensive experience with top quality schools internationally.
In a nutshell, when we sit down to present our project
to financial advisors and land developers, and they review our Business Plan,
they immediately conclude that we have done our homework, and thus our project
has moved forward swiftly.
We are now at the Project Implementation Phase and
finalizing financial arrangements to proceed with school formation activities,
including retaining HEG as our advisor for the implementation stage. I would
definitely recommend HEG without hesitation. Their expertise in planning and
managing top international private schools is very valuable when sitting down
to define what your projects needs are, especially in the financial aspects of
the operation.
