How to prepare a fundable business plan



How to prepare a fundable business plan
   

Business Plan Writers Service A professional Business Plan Writer will transform your aspirations of opening your business and raising finance for your business and turn your thoughts and dreams into a reality. Your Business Plan Writer will be able to take the conceptual information provided including financial projections, ideally approved by your Accountant or CPA, into the format that will enable a capable Business Broker to confidently obtain the business financing that you require.

Business Plan Executive Summary The Executive Summary is one of the most important components of your business plan. Apart from the cover page and table of contents, it is the first thing the investor sees and reads: it is here that you must attract the attention of the Investor. The Executive summary should briefly describe the nature of the business, its products and/or services, the people behind the business and their unique qualifications, and the requirement (i.e. Business Finance). The executive summary should emphasize the financial upside, while requiring the investor to look into the plan for the details. A professional Business Plan Writer can target the Executive Summary to create interest in your business, and together with assistance from your Accountant or CPA will be able to highlight your strengths, and to emphasize your grasp of the marketplace and your special place in it, with a view to making a presentation to a Business Broker who can assist you in obtaining the Business Finance that you require or marketing your business for sale.

Business Plan Strategy The strategy statement should describe what your business will do and could achieve; also include a statement about your long-term goals - however, every business sells some sort of product and/or service to make money, your statement should capture the essence of your business and the benefits it offers, ideally approved by your Accountant or CPA. The job of the business plan writer is to help the clients reach their goals by writing clear and applicable business plans to provide a comfort level by which investors, loan officers and Business Brokers can share in your confidence of financial success. Your strategy defines your overall approach to doing business and will reflect your plan to move your business forward in a positive and confident fashion and attract customers. Your business plan must summarize your strategy by explaining what makes your business work and why customers will choose you over others.

Business Plan Service/Product Description Your plan must include a description of the products and/or services you offer, even if you have an established business, because the investor may not be familiar with your offerings. If your product is new to the marketplace, you must include a very detailed description and, if appropriate, support the description with even more detailed aspects. It is of paramount importance that your business plan includes all aspects of your business including products and/or services. From the lender or investors’ perspectives, it will also be important to describe both sides of the business plan including your perspective and theirs.

Business Plan Marketing and Sales Strategies Your Business Plan Writer will describe the company's overall approach to the market and include whatever is important to the business in its marketing strategy:

Will the company compete by virtue of Price, Quality, Service, Advertising, Promotion, etc?

Will the company approach the customer by means of direct sales, telemarketing, internet etc?

In which way does the company compare to competition?

The sales plan deals with more specific issues, such as who is going to sell what to whom and for how much and how long it will take you to get paid. You may have to consider Invoice Factoring to improve cash flow.

The Business Plan Writer works very closely with clients and their Accountants or CPA if necessary to develop their marketing and sales strategies and present them in a clear and credible fashion, for the purpose of the investor and/or the Business Broker.

Business Plan Company Description People invest in two things, people and ideas. Most of your business plan deals with your ideas, your products and/or services, your market and your approach to your market. You may have the most desirable product, the most desirable service, a willing market and a favorable competitive environment. Once you have sold the loan officer, investor or Business Broker on your business, you will have to show that you can execute your plan; the lender/investor will want to be assured of this issue as well. With the help of your Accountant or CPA, it is important to describe what sort of company you have (corporation, partnership, proprietorship, etc.), who owns the company, how it is organized, who manages it, and most importantly, what are the qualifications of those who will manage the business.

Business Plan Financial Projections You may be in business or going into business for many reasons - however, your lenders providing the Business Finance are interested in their investment. To them, the heart of your business plan is represented by the financial projections which must include income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flow. These statements must convince your lenders and/or Business Brokers of two very important details, firstly that you will be able to repay your backers and secondly, have cash resources for your incentive to succeed. Seeking advice from your Accountant or CPA with respect to financial matters is extremely valuable at this point. Your financial projection should consist of an Income Statement a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Cash Flow.

Break Even Analysis Business plan readers expect to see a break even analysis in your business plan. It demonstrates that you have a good understanding of the financial workings of your business and can often reveal whether or not a proposal is viable. The break even point is the minimum level of sales a business must achieve to cover its costs. The Business Plan Writer will prepare a break even analysis for your business plan.

Small businesses and investors can move quickly and decisively because there are no regulatory hurdles that make it difficult for the average person to obtain a small business loan from a bank as we are a private fund.
