Are you wondering, "who can help me with a business plan?" The short answer is, lots of people. The federal government provides resources for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, including business plan development support. At local SCORE offices, located in most US metro areas, there are consultants (typically retired executives and volunteers) who can provide guidance about getting incorporated, setting up taxes and payroll, and allocating start-up costs post-funding. These offices are also generally equipped to provide help with business plan software reviews and will have people who are willing to assist you with the plan.
Other avenues of support include "do it (mostly) yourself" methods like business planning software from Palo Alto or guidebooks and templates available from any large book store or public library. These resources still put the onus on you but they can be very helpful if you're a self-starter. You can also hire a freelance consultant or pay a modest hourly fee to have a business school student review the work you've done and give feedback. Lastly, your best bet, a firm like MasterPlans is designed to make exceptional business plans even with only moderate initial input and review. Our team includes experts in writing and research as well as editing, market analysis, and financial model development. We can deliver a funding-ready document to you in as little as two weeks.
