Business Plan Services
We have experience in venture capital and private equity business, and we have developed and reviewed hundreds of business plans over the years.
We offer two services around Business Plans:
1. Business Plan Development: In this we discuss the business concept and growth plan with you, and create the most professional Business Plan for you. There can be two sub-types here:
(a) Short Form Business Plan: About 4-5 pages long and covers all key questions that an investor would ask, and hence covering the most important points for an investor to make up his mind. This includes a page for Executive Summary, and a page for projected financials. Typical Fee: $175 to $500 (depends on your industry, how much information/analysis you have already got with you, and a few other specifics).
(b) Long Form Business Plan: About 20-30 pages covering everything in detail for investors to make up their mind and also get answers to most of their questions directly from the document. Typical Fee: $500 to $5000 (depends on your industry, how much information/analysis you have already got with you, and a few other specifics).
*Important Notes*
We always advise you to start with a Short Form Business Plan because that is the right way to build a bigger and more detailed plan.
As Warren Buffet says: "You should be able to express any business plan in one paragraph". It shows that you can separate the very important points from the other details, and that you respect an investor's time. You are likely to get a better response rate. And the key points are always these:
- Does this venture address an "unmet need"?
- Is there enough demand-supply gap in this market?
- Can this venture be profitable?
- Is this a reliable team?
- Are all the major risks covered?
Most bulky business plans have a lot of unnecessary content copied from the Internet, which dilutes their value. So please don't increase the number of pages in your document just because you are seeing 50 page business plans in the market. Rather, list all the key questions you want to answer, and spend time in refining the answers in the most effective manner through graphs, bullets and hyperlinks to references. Add as many notes as possible to your projections and cover all the major risks to your venture.
2. Business Plan Review: We can usually review and send back with comments for improvement within a week, and sometimes within a day or two, depending on our schedule. The review will help you to highlight the value of your key points in a way the investor would like to see it. If you follow our comments, your business plan will be an attractive document with a much better chance for success. Fee: $50 to $250 (depends on your business plan details)
