Who Needs A Business Plan?

EVERY START-UP BUSINESS!

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics research suggests that 36% of all American start-up business failures will occur in the first two years of existence. One of the top five reasons for early start-up business failure is that there is no written business plan, ranking one place behind having a poor business location.

EVERY BUSINESS SEEKING FINANCING FROM A LENDER OR INVESTOR!

Tightened credit for businesses has also brought with it more stringent lending policies and guidelines. One of the primary policy and guideline changes over the past decade has been the ever increasing requirement by the SBA, lenders, venture capitalists, investors, and even landlords, suppliers and vendors that the credit or lease application be accompanied by a written business plan with clear, accurate and meaningful financial projections.

EVERY EXISTING BUSINESS!

A thorough, well written business plan is one of the most essential and critical requirements of any business. Internally, a written business plan keeps the business owner focused on goals and objectives, financial projections, future personnel and asset needs, and future cash and financing requirements. A written business plan keeps the business owner “on course” with marketing, advertising, sales, and other key business elements since it contains goals and budgets that the business owner can refer to at any time.

Business Plan Options

Because of the ever increasing need for business plans, Business Plan Writers and Advisors offers four wholesale business plan options for you to resell at whatever retail price you prefer.

1) Financials Only Business Plan - This “do it yourself” option lets your customer write the text to their own business plan. The business plan is sent to them in Microsoft Word format and contains all of the text sections and sub-sections required of an SBA/investor compliant business plan. The complicated and time-consuming financial projections and financial assumptions that lenders and investors are looking for are completed by Business Plan Writers and Advisors based on your customer's input. 

This saves your customer the cost of having to purchase business plan software, spending hours learning how to use the software, and inputting the financial data while giving lenders and investors the accuracy they require in the financial projections. This is a great product for those customers who have some writing ability and require a low cost option. Plus, it gives you one final chance to make a sale. We send the final draft electronically in PDF format directly to you (making it appear the business plan was created by you) so you can present it to your customer.
