Did you search "order business plan" hoping to purchase a service online or find an industry-specific template to work from for sale? There are many options available to you. Software products, online templates, and hired consultants can all help you with a business plan. Software of course leaves the onus on you, and templates on the Internet can have limited utility depending on what business model your company follows. If your concept is at all unique, you will likely have difficulty making a pre-loaded template applicable to your vision. Consider if these apply in your case:
• Is there a proprietary, patented, or first-of-its-kind element to your product or service suite?
• Do you have a specific "backstory" or past performance record to share?
• Do you have a highly generic market or customer profile, similar to (for example) any fixed-location retail store?
If these questions give you pause about using a template, there are other methods for getting a solid plan prepared that require less work of you and result in a better finished product. Using a hired consultancy with in-house business plan writers, researchers, and financial experts like MasterPlans is one of your best options. Since 2002 we have been writing entire plans for clients and creating meaningful financial assumptions and projections for presentations to banks, investors, and VCs.
