Junior ESSEC every year assists many entrepreneurs and companies in the development of business plan financial and pitch decks.

The Project Managers develop with their sponsors precise and viable assumptions for each project before establishing the financial statements (balance sheet, free cash flow, P&L) of the business plan.
