Hi.. I work for a media company based in Dubai Media City. We need someone qualified to put together a Business Plan for a new TV channel. This is a part time/ freelance job but the quality of analysis and research must be thorough. Payment based on results. The plan must be carefully thought out and well presented to attract international investors. Prior experience in doing the same is a must. Best suited for MBA graduates. The plan is for a global company, so research does not have to be Arab-centric. Please revert with a post.
Cheers.

Dev - while I always love people aspiring to start a business, etc if you are serious about pitching for a new TV channel to international investors and you are genuinely looking for someone to put together an entire business plan for you than I would suggest that you don't look in forums. If you are serious about pursuing this opportunity get serious about how to do it. Sorry I hate slamming people with ambition but these does not seem the right way to do it and if I had the skills that you were looking for I wouldn't take you seriosuly after reading your post.

Hey Joe. Thanks for your honesty. Truth is this is one of the routes I thought I'd try. My other options are to go directly to MBA schools and look for grads. Any other ideas?
Thanks again..

I don't MBA schools are the right place either. As I said this idea won't work on a shoestring like many other business's can - in my opinion at least. Plan -
1. Get some capital behind it for initial research and work
2. Hire a reputable consultancy - you should have an angle to give them - I mean why do you want to do this or why do you think this will work
3. Once you have a business plan - canvass venture capital firms, other media companies, etc

I am no expert in this field but that sounds like a more realistic route to me.

Yes, this is the plan at the mo.. Thanks again!
