Why do I need a business plan?

A business plan is a roadmap for your business, outlining your goals and strategies for achieving them. It’s essential for:
  • Securing funding from lenders or investors requires detailed plans to assess your business’s viability
  • Guiding your business operations keeps you focused on short- and long-term objectives
  • Attracting partners or key team members by clearly articulating your vision
Research shows businesses with a plan grow 30% faster and are 16% more likely to achieve viability.

How much does a business plan from BusinessPlansToday.com cost?

We have three business plan packages: bronze, silver, and gold.

Bronze – $450

Includes 17 pages of financials, graphs, tables, and charts. It consists of a balance sheet and pro-forma sheets, as well as five-year projections and industry comparisons. The bronze level plan provides three months of complimentary updates. This level is suitable for clients looking to show five-year financial projections and utilization of funds data simply. The bronze level plan is generally utilized for investors or friends and family who have requested five-year financial projections.

Silver – $600

Adds upon the bronze level plan by including a minimum of 12 pages of industry analysis, competitive comparisons, market analysis, and customized research data. The silver level plan is suitable for SBA and bank loans, grant applications, and E-2, L-1A, EB-5, or EB-2 NIW immigration applications. The silver level business plan is not suitable for presentation to venture capital firms or investors. The silver level plan includes 6 months of complimentary updates.

Gold – $750

This level is suitable for investors and venture capital firms. The gold-level plan includes vital investment offering data, including return on Investment (ROI) and investor exit strategies. However, it does not show loan payback schedules and is thus not suitable for loans, grants, or immigration purposes. Complimentary updates for 12 months are included.

Can you help me secure funding?

If you ordered a gold level business plan, you should immediately submit your plan to venture capital firms and investors. Remember, when seeking funding, you are in a battle. This battle is against other companies seeking the same pool of investment capital or SBA consideration. Our documentation should be used as your main weapon, along with your tenacity and character, this combination must be utilized fully to secure the funding you are seeking. While we cannot guarantee funding, our business plans are crafted to maximize your chances of approval. We:
  • Include all key sections lenders and investors expect, such as financial stability, marketability, and competitive analysis
  • Offer guidance on submitting your plan to SBA lenders, private investors, and venture capitalists
  • Ensure your plan is polished and professional, making a strong case for your business’s potential

Can I write the business plan myself and get your help with specific sections?

Yes, we can assist with specific sections, such as financial projections or market analysis, if you prefer to write parts of the plan yourself. Contact us to discuss your needs, and we’ll provide a customized quote based on the scope of work.

Are your business plans suitable for immigration purposes?
