Pleased with the professionalism of HEG’s consultants and quality of work delivered...
Our project is the start-up of a new PreK-12 International Baccalaureate School in the city of Panama. HEG was hired by our group to carry out the Feasibility Study and Business Plan, which included the analysis of local market to set up the school, analysis of market demand based on the study's results, financial projections of the operation for a 10-year period, plus activities required to prepare the new school for operation. The feasibility study included guidance regarding our school's mission / vision statements, educational philosophy, HR 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, etc. Our group was very pleased with the professionalism of HEG’s consultants and quality of work delivered. The feasibility study stage required HEG's team to travel to Panama – where we had very productive work sessions and were fortunate to have a good working relation with HEG. In addition to their visits, we had regularly scheduled teleconferences as the study advanced. We feel that the investment was worthwhile as we were able to receive guidance and advice from experts in the field, including people who have started and owned their own schools. The final-product has been very valuable to our group. The study and business plan developed provided us additional credibility, 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 developers, they immediately conclude that we have done our homework, and thus our project has moved forward swiftly. 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.
