Our philosophy

It all starts with the business idea. Your planned product or service must solve a problem or fulfill a need. It must be possible to demonstrate that your product or service works or will work. The cost of developing, producing and delivering cannot be higher than what the market is willing to pay. You need to develop an effective high quality value chain for your product or service. This includes procedures and resources for development and improvement, production, marketing & sales, delivery and service and support. Developing a business idea and taking it to the market costs money. Although you must work to reduce costs at all time, you cannot complete anything without some financing. Cronomar can support you and your business in all these stages.
