Most business plan writing firms will not offer monthly rates for business planning services. Instead, they may stand by a timeline or contract that clearly shows the how the business planning service will be delivered. That said, there are some online businesses that allow access to special website areas, online videos, DVDs, or other business plan writing advice for a monthly fee. However, due to the complexity of business plan writing, monthly rates do not typically apply directly to the creation of a business plan.
Writing a business plan takes a considerable amount of research, financial knowhow as well as an ability to write technically accurate information convincingly. Some of the top business planning firms have in-house consultants, writers, researchers and financial experts to help guide a client through these difficult areas. This difficulty paired with a need to get a business plan written quickly puts the idea of charging a monthly rate in question.
Here are a few points to consider when incurring a monthly rate for business planning services, online access, or software:
• Most monthly rate services require a great deal of do-it-yourself.
• Some programs have ongoing charges that require user-based termination.
• Web-based business planning programs should have some way to export to a well known document type (such as Microsoft Word).
• If you hire a consultant for a monthly rate, be sure to ask about limitations.
• Consultants and business planning companies have rates varying on their size, experience and area of expertise.
