Writing a business plan should be thought of as creating a blueprint for success for your business. An effective business plan tells a great story, weaving an exciting plot that captivates the reader. You want 50 pages of brilliant strategies and dazzling numbers and statistics.

This gives a guide for you and your management team to follow and effectively communicates the company direction to your staff. The business plan provides a considered and logical framework within which a company can develop and pursue its strategies over the next 3 to 5 years.

If you are trying to obtain financing for a business startup or growing your existing business, it is even more important to have a professionally written plan. This is a very important document that often serves as the company's first introduction to investors. 

I can help you to write a clear, concise, focused and winning business plan. The success of your business depends on it!

 A general business plan outline should consist of:

  • Cover Sheet
  • Table of Content
  • Executive Summary
  • Organizational Plan 
    • Summary of business
      • Mission, Business Model, Strategy, SWOT-Analysis, Risks, etc.
    • Product and/or Services
    • Administrative Plan
  • Marketing Plan
    • Overview and Goals
    • Market Analysis
    • Marketing Strategy
    • Sales Strategy
    • Sales Incentives/Promotions
    • Advertising
    • Public Relations
    • Networking
    • Customer Service
    • Implementation of Marketing Strategy
  • Financial Documents
    • Summary of Financial Needs
    • Dispersal of Loan Funds Statement
    • Cash Flow Statement (Budget)
    • Three-Year Income Projection
    • Break-Even Analysis
    • Balance Sheet
    • Profit & Loss Statement
    • Loan Application/Financial History
    • Financial Statement Analysis

 

The document should be 50 pages or less. It needs to be written in a concise and focused manner. Appropriate color graphics and an attractive cover always set a positive tone. Usually, less is more. Utilize charts, graphs, tables, and pictures to convey information.

I firmly believe in the often repeated quote:

"The business that fails to plan, plans to fail."
