Sports Open Group. Building a sustainable sports economy

How we assess
opportunities.

We consider customer demand, business economics and the team’s understanding of its market. We assess businesses across markets, with attention to local conditions and opportunities for growth.

From an idea to a viable business.

01

A clear customer need

Who uses the product, who pays for it and what problem does it solve?

02

Evidence of demand

Repeat use, purchases and customer retention help distinguish interest from demand.

03

A credible business model

We consider how revenue is earned, the cost of delivery and what growth requires.

04

A capable team

Relevant experience, local knowledge and a clear next milestone inform our assessment.
