Writing
A Business Plan
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 statistics.
This gives a guide
for 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 3-5 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. We can act as your business startup
consultant and help you thru the process.
A 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.
