Do you write business plans for all industries?

Yes. We prepare customized business plans for a wide range of industries, including retail, restaurants, food service, construction, transportation, healthcare, professional services, beauty, childcare, e-commerce, technology, and many others.

Do you only serve businesses in Florida?

Our primary focus is helping Florida entrepreneurs. Every business plan is prepared with Florida regulations, licensing requirements, and market considerations in mind. However, we may assist businesses outside Florida on a case-by-case basis.

Can you prepare a business plan for an SBA loan?

Absolutely. Our SBA Loan Business Plans are designed to include the financial projections, funding request, repayment strategy, and supporting documentation commonly requested by SBA lenders and participating financial institutions.

What is the difference between a business plan and an investor pitch deck?

A business plan is a comprehensive document that explains every aspect of your business, including operations, market research, marketing strategy, and financial projections. An investor pitch deck is a concise presentation designed to communicate your business opportunity and persuade investors to fund your company.

How long does it take to complete a business plan?

Turnaround times vary depending on the package you select and the complexity of your business. Most projects are completed within 10 to 30 business days, with expedited services available upon request.
