Small Business Consulting

Business Plan Reviews:

I offer three different types of small business consulting plan review services. Starting with a 100 point review of your plan that helps entrepreneurs to structure a perfectly developed plan. My second service includes the 100 point review with extra emphasis on your marketing and financial section. My final package is geared for those looking to use their business plan to solicit for investors. It includes detailed information on what investors are looking for. With this very unique package I will also submit your plan to five investors that I’ve worked with in the past.

Marketing Strategy Consulting:

When planning a new business or the launch of a new product a comprehensive marketing plan is essential. Figuring out who your target market is, what marketing mediums you are going to use, and how much you’ll need to spend is extremely important and often overlooked.

Web Marketing Consulting:

When marketing on the internet the most important element of your plan is the selection of your keywords. If you are not measuring the monthly searches, cost per click of the first position, your keywords commercial intent, and the competition level for each keyword then you are not properly choosing your keywords. Our web marketing consulting package is designed to do all the research for you.

Financial Planning & Modeling Consulting:

This package is designed as a complement to my Business Plan Review Service. Once you’ve got basic plan in place for your business it is extremely important for you to plan your financial statements. Developing a pro-forma cash flow statement and an outline of your expected expenses is key to landing investors and launching a successful company. Failure to properly plan your finances can lead to stress and even business failure.

Business Plan Reviews

Over the past five years I have reviewed well over 200 business plans for individuals in a wide variety of markets. For some reason people are intimidated by writing a business plan. The packages I’ve listed below have been created to help the entrepreneur to have piece of mind that their plan is solid and that they can feel confident in their endeavor. If you are interested in any of the below packages feel free to make a post to this section or to email me. I’d be happy to discuss your needs with you.

Basic Package

With this package your business plan will be reviewed using the Small Business Associations guidelines for writing a business plan. I will review the basic structure of the plan and give you a written report about sections of the plan that need work. I will also give you a chance to refine the plan after my feedback and then submit the plan one more time for a final review.

Expert Package

This package takes everything one step further. I would recommend this package to anyone investing more then $10,000 in the launch of their company. With this package you will get the same review as the Basic Package above and you will also receive a report of the 100 most important elements of a business plan and how those elements are reflected in your plan. This will include more emphasis on marketing and your overall business strategy. With this review you will also get one on one phone time to discuss your plan directly with me.

Seeking Investment Funding Package

This is my most advanced package. If you are going to be seeking investors or partners this package is your best fit. This package includes all of the above services as well as detailed financial modeling. The biggest problem people face when seeking investors is that they don’t prepare a proper financial statement for their plan. This can instantly destroy any opportunity you might have when speaking to an investor. I will help you to accurately calculate your expenses, potential income, and develop the needed financial statements. With this package I will also send your completed plan out to five different potential investors. There is no guarantee that they will bite but the feedback you will get from these individuals makes this package worth every penny.
