I need you to keep/make the business plan a technical one, still keeping the finances and so on. From this technical one I can generate an investor-friendly one. But I don’t want code in the document. There is no need for there.
Visit the link below to view the previous business plan document
I need you to look into these websites, the tabs (the tabs contain some other pricing adjustments, information etc)
https://northflank.com/pricing in the pricing pages and other alternatives.
https://www.atlantic.net/gpu-server-hosting/gpu-cloud-hosting
https://www.bentoml.com/pricing
https://www.together.ai/pricing
https://www.anyscale.com/pricing
https://www.baseten.co/pricing
I need you to readjust pricing where needed. Looking at proximity to Nigeria and Africa (future) and Asia (also future)
Remove this “Software Development₦28,000,000” since the Devs will build the software locally and then the server will also do the rest of the work.
Defer this “Office & Equipment₦2,500,000” till later in future. We will be working remotely for now to cut costs and then we will have an office base and try to provide accommodation through agreements/negotiations with landlords and realtors for staff to move.
Suburban Cloud doesn’t seem to have anything related to GPU on their website.
Check here https://www.gigalayer.com.ng/server/dedicated for real figures in terms of CPU and so on and also check here https://www.layer3.cloud/pricing for pricing also.
We are looking at both affordability and best performance and reliability as criteria for all these hosts. We don’t want to suffer some shut down if these have an issue. It could become a SPF that could affect us negatively so we need the most reliable.
Under Security and Communication:
All those under self hosted will be hosted on one dedicated server.
As for the dev server, it has to be almost a replica of any AI server we are using. We need to test things there before we push them to the production server. This dev server will host our coding AI LLM also for our Devs.
So the dev server will most likely be a dedicated server for 7-20 Devs (concurrent sometimes) as we begin to expand.
Also the <cite index=””> is silly. Remove it. No need for all those kinds of stuff.
Then under:
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: ₦28M
Research Reality: <cite index=”22-1″>Lagos developers earn $7,500/year average (₦625K/month), but skilled developers cost ₦400-800K/month</cite>
2.1 Development Approach
Strategy: MVP with 4 core modules, hybrid AI, built in 3 months
2.2 Core Platform (₦10M – Weeks 1-6)
The things listed are not necessary as the Devs are already receiving salary and will be building this. Only put a price on what will cost a price.
And even the Essential Tier Modules, those prices are not necessary. Remember we are using open source and most of the work will be frontend work.
Also we will be creating 2 different UIs (Simplified and Pro). Simplified to cater for the needs of the simple owners and staff by combining inventory, Accounting, Invoicing, Tax. You can see all these in the Strategic Digital Transformation Roadmap document. All the mentioned will be combined into a simple intuitive user interface for easy navigation, use and less learning barrier. Pro for other high end Medium Scale Businesses and Large Scale Businesses.
We will use this idea of Simplified and Pro for some other industries to cater for the different categories within them as you can find in the Strategic Digital Transformation roadmap document.
As for the core features I will give you an idea I have concerning offline:
Ideas for our SAAS product (Essential [simplified] category)
Offline Features
- Database update: if a person has staff working with him to update inventory in the micro/small scale level, an offline feature can be offline-updated via a connection similar to sender. Frequent database update via the connection.
- The staff has to go to the principal of the business to establish a device connection.
- The principal has to accept the connection for database update by confirming some things and approving the connection.
- The database starts to merge unto the principal device and confirms things using date (a date checking mechanism to prevent backward movement date is to be implemented) things were added the database on the staff device.
- The merging mechanism checks for conflicts and uses conflict resolution processes like the principal making choice.
- A backup database for data recovery will also be in place.
- Security features will be implemented to protect the database and the app generally.
- The principal can assign a vice principal to whom others can go to merge data with. Then the vice principal can go to the principal to merge data.
- Data can also be uploaded by the principal or vice principal. Vice principal if the principal has handed over data management the him or the principal has to approve the data the vice principal wants to merge for easy conflict resolution.
Is there a way to make this better?
As for the Hybrid AI integration, those costs are useless. Those will be on our dedicated GPU except for the one(s) that will be on the user device if the user accepts to download it as the size of the Gemma 3N seems to be 1.55GB or similar. This is quite huge for certain users we are targeting.
Also the Mobile PWA costs are also useless since the Devs will be building it.
Then for the VAR Partner Program: the Partner Portal will also be built by our Devs.
Then what is this? “Lifetime Attribution via QR Codes”? Please refer to the below part previous business plan Value-Added Reseller (VAR) Program

As for the Digital Marketing
Brand Development will be done by our designers and the website will be built by our designers and Devs. Things like Content Creation and Social Media setup will be done by our in-house social media personnel.
As for the Launch Campaign, the influencer partnership will cost more then that by a distance.
As for the Sales Enablement, we will be using the CRM tools we are offering Enterprises. So those costs are unnecessary there.
As for the Corporate Setup, we also be registering in Delaware and this will cost around $800
As for the equipment and office, those are not needed now and the laptops are much more than you started (around 4-7 times the price of the windows laptops).
As for the Full Project Investment, we intend to use revenue to start running from Month 8-9. So we need funding for Month 1-8
Finally note that we are only reserving a total of 26% for investors. And we are not offering anybody 40%. Alright? And for pre-seed, we can only offer 6%.
