STANDARD BUSINESS PLANS
Whether you’re starting a new business, repositioning your existing business, or targeting outside investors, getting a clearly detailed business plan can make the journey to your business goal easier, faster, and less costly.
Writing an investor-grade business plan can be challenging and time-consuming, even for those who have done it before.
To help my loyal subscribers and readers and help them save time and money, I have decided to develop the most asked for business plans.
If you’re like most small-business owners, you’ve never had to create a business plan before. In fact, you may have never even seen a formal business plan document let alone had to put one together.
I have developed the following business plans…
