How to Choose a Business Plan Writing Service

A well written business plan is what will determine whether or not potential investors will put money into your business venture and can also mean the difference of a vendor extending you credit or not. If you feel that you may not be able to adequately write your business plan then you may find it in your best interest to retain the services of a business plan writing service. If you conduct a Google, Yahoo, or Ping search for ‘business plan wring service' you will be overwhelmed with the number of returns that you will be faced with. So how do you go about choosing a business plan writing service?

The natural tendency for many people will be to look directly at the price of the service. While the price should be considered it should not be the determining factor when making your choice. This doesn't mean that you have to go with the most expensive service available, but you probably don't want to go for the cheapest either.

Here are some other considerations to think about when choosing a business plan writing service:

• Experience: You will want to find a business plan writing service that has been around for a while. More than that tough you want to be sure that they are experienced in writing business plans for the type of business in which you are in. It does you little good to hire a business plan writing service that only writes business plans for tech companies if your company is not involved in the tech sector.

• Quality: The only way to tell how well a company writes is by looking directly at their work. If you do not see samples of the company's work that you are considering then ask them to provide you with some. A quality business plan writing service will be more than happy to show off their past work.

• Turn Around Time: You should find out from the company you are considering how long it will take for them to complete your business plan. This is important especially if you are in somewhat of a hurry to get your business plan done. While there is no real industry standard, some companies will be faster than others and some can speed up the process for a little bit extra in cost, but you won't know if you don't ask.

• Reviews: Many business plan writing services will have reviews that have been conducted of their services from past customers and these are a great way to see how others like the services of a company you may be considering. Just as with the samples, if you do not see any reviews on the website then ask the company to give you some referral numbers and take the time to call the referrals. If a company won't give you any referrals then you can probably estimate that they may not be all that good.

While you may get lucky and find the perfect business plan writing company with your first inquiry you should conduct at least three. This way you can see what different companies have to offer and if everything is the same you can then do your price comparison and go with the company that will be the best bargain for you.

Re: Service Or Product? - I agree with starting a Service-based Business in the economy. Here is what I think is critical: 1. Researching that your Service business has a market. 2. Marketing the Service with as much leverage as possible. 3. Product-izing the Service (aka Package Expert Knowledge). This will only help elevate you as "the" expert in your niche and make you accessible to people in different price points.
Business Innovation - Hi Simon If you can finish off the Business Plan and think about your strategic direction or how you are going to use your product to convince people it's a great idea, it will set the foundation for your programming project. You see, when you are looking for funding you will need a Business Plan and Strategic Plan that will convince companies to invest into your new idea. Has anyone achieved this idea before using another industry besides health and fitness that you know of? You should also design some mockups as a "preview" for your programming project. This will also help reduce your programming costs as everyone will know exactly what you want if you have detailed mockups already completed including any functionality you require. Starting mockups for websites and software applications on paper is the best way if you're not a guru in graphic editing software.

Re: NEW VIDEO - How to improve your business plan - Ask Evan - Thanks Evan, great intro into how the VC's see business plan. I will take a look, but hope that this video as number 1 in a series. It is unfortunate that these types of errors, the most basic of errors as you point out here are common to too many business plans, having reviewed a few hundred myself from both a development and funding perspective. As a mentor and workshop facilitator for Business Plan development for a number of start-up IT and multimedia companies, your presentation help support and show how the VC's see and evaluate a plan Shameful, that too many don't take the time to learn how to properly prepare, present and defend their plans. Over the years, I have enjoyed Business Plan competitions, and help re-work some of the winning proposals
