Did you find yourself looking online asking yourself the question, can someone write my business plan? The answer is most definitely yes, but you shouldn't assume that you don't also need to do your homework about the venture first. No matter who you retain for this service, the process will go more smoothly -- and the end result will be more impressive -- if you've put a lot of thought into the basic questions that apply when starting up or growing a business. Who are your customers? What is the market opportunity in your area or your industry? What are the major competitors doing and how do you plan to differentiate yourself going forward? Knowing the answers to these questions will help you give the input that can lead to a great plan. When choosing someone to write your plan, remember what you need to look for:
• Demonstrated expertise across multiple business models
• Access to current research sources
• The ability to write compelling copy
• The ability to make (and check) a working financial pro forma
• Multiple years of experience
• Funded past clients/positive, verifiable testimonials
Can someone write a business plan for you? Absolutely. But not just anyone will do a great job. Retired business executives at SCORE or private consultancies aren't likely to be current on the trends that impact your plan; meanwhile, a college student or aspiring MBA grad will have lots of ideas, but little real execution. Any single consultant you can retain is likely to lack some of the critical skills that go into making a great business plan. So, where to turn? A better option is a company full of experts who do nothing but research, write, model, and edit business plans -- a company like Oregon-based MasterPlans.com. This group not only has experience dating back to 2002, they have an unrivaled client base almost 11,000 strong to date. Call today to learn more: 877-453-2011.
