He and his descendants governed "Señorío de Creixell and Roda" until manor rights were abolished. During XIX century, Carlinas fights divided village at time that it started to recover from recession until philloxera crisis impacted in it.
| | Two Types of Executive SummariesWritten by Dave Lavinsky
Companies seeking capital often ask how long Executive Summary of their business plan should be. The answer depends upon use of summary, mainly determining if 1) it precedes full business plan, or 2) it will be used as a stand-alone document.When Executive Summary precedes business plan, its length should be short, typically only one to two pages and certainly no longer than three pages. This is because Executive Summary is not meant to tell whole story of business opportunity. Rather, summary must simply stimulate and motivate investor to learn more about company in body of plan. The second type of Executive Summary is a stand-alone document. That is, it is given, by itself, to investors for their initial review. If interested, investor will then request full business plan. A stand-alone Executive Summary is often used to limit flow of information. That is, if an investor is not interested in general opportunity that your summary presents, you don’t want to reveal to them intimate details of your plan. Regardless of which type of Executive Summary you are developing, summary must included following critical elements: •A concise explanation of business •A description of market size and market need for business •A discussion of how company is uniquely qualified to fulfill this need
