It breaks my heart to see so many people throw money away needlessly, launching companies and products and services that have not been well thought-through.
With all that you’ve got at stake, why not talk first with a pro?
We help companies raise money—and then help them spend it profitably. We do this through the development of business plans that are both persuasive to investors and lenders, and effective at building sales and profits.
We can help you with:
* Business Planning and Strategy
* Marketing Plans
* Pro Forma Projections
* Financial Planning
And much more!
Double-Team Your Business Plan
If you just want a fill-in-the-blanks business plan, perhaps you should buy a book or some software on the subject. But most people we know feel that their business is unique. That calls for a uniquely fresh and personalized development of a strategy and plan that will best help you achieve your goals.
You also want a financial plan that is realistic and attainable and easy to track as you go along each month. No one can guarantee that you will raise the money you want, since money-people look at the people first, the opportunity second, and the business plan third. But financiers know that the acid-test is how well a plan can be expected to work in the real world.
That's where we shine. Our "double-team" approach has an exceedingly good record of getting results, and your plan is guaranteed to give you your very best chance to succeed in the marketplace.
If you need to make changes in the text after the final plan is submitted, we'll do it for 90 days after at no charge. If you need to revise the financial projections that you have approved previously, that takes some serious additional work. (All your financials are linked to one another, so you can't just change the numbers in one table.) So anytime after the plan is delivered, we'll make any financial changes you want done on a supplemental-fee basis.
Once you are breaking even on a cash-flow basis, you know that the business needs no further capital investment in order to stand on its own. Your revenue is at least covering all your expenditures.
Only THEN, in our view, do you have the luxury of investing in other ventures. If you do, we can help by testing your way into some additional new-product or new-business launches. As a former employer of mine, David Ogilvy, used to caution, "look before you leap."
Some side-ventures may well make a killing for you, and some will likely fail to bring in enough profit to make them worthwhile. But that’s the nature of the beast, as you probably know.
Recent client quote: “You’re a freakin’ genius!” (That’s an unsolicited and verbatim response to my strategy recommendation—no kidding. Call for references.)
