Our Approach:
BioScience Business Solutions has assisted a variety of life science companies on projects ranging from raising private capital to re-positioning major product opportunities for market success. We pride ourselves on being able to provide an in-depth analysis of the business issue followed by an effective solution that can be implemented immediately for maximum corporate results. We have the ability to immerse ourselves as part of the team, both delivering a plan and "rolling up our sleeves" to assist with implementation.
We work with companies on either a project or fee for service basis. Our process for each is:
Project Work:
We start with a face-to-face meeting or a teleconference involving the member of your Senior management team in charge of the project being outsourced. A determination of project scope is made with suggestions of timelines to completion. We then prepare a proposal outlining the deliverables and fees. Once the contract is signed by both parties, work begins immediately.
Fee for Service:
We have a face-to-face meeting or a teleconference with one or more members of the Senior management team to determine the scope of activities to be outsourced. The work usually requires BioScience Business Solutions to become involved in day-to-day strategy, planning, and / or operations for a specified time period. A contract is designed that outlines specific tasks to be accomplished and fees are set on a per day, per week, or per month basis. Once the contract is signed by both parties, work begins immediately. |
