Once the idea has been established you are encouraged to develop a business model, this can be a simple roadmap for your business and it is only used for you to be able to carry out the following tasks:

It can be a totally new radical or an incremental innovation on an existing product/services, (Examples may include: Themed restaurants, Platform offering skilled workers for small tasks, online laundry service, News and information sharing app).
