Who writes my business plan.

Is my plan writer an expert in my industry?

Our business plan writers are experts specifically in business plan writing. We've worked with every industry imaginable so the likelihood that they have some familiarity with your industry is high, but if you are looking for a business consultant this may not be a good fit.

What kind of background will my writer have? Are they outsourced from other countries? Have they been writing business plans for very long?

We are a small team of well educated business planning experts. Each writer's background varies but they all have financial or business education as well as years, small business management or consulting and business plan writing experience.

Small Business Definitions

What is a business plan.

In its simplest form, a business plan is a guide—a roadmap for your business that outlines goals and details how you plan to achieve those goals. At its heart, a business plan is just a plan for how your business is going to work, and how you're going to make it succeed. Read our full article on "What is a business plan" here.

What is in a business plan?

The executive summary is an overview of your business and your plans. It comes first in your plan and is ideally only one to two pages. Most people write it last, though.

The opportunity section answers these questions: What are you actually selling and how are you solving a problem (or "need") for your market? Who is your target market and competition?

In the execution chapter of your business plan, you'll answer the question: how are you going to take your opportunity and turn it into a business? This section will cover your marketing and sales plan, operations, and your milestones and metrics for success.

Investors look for great teams in addition to great ideas. Use the company and management chapter to describe your current team and who you need to hire. You will also provide a quick overview of your legal structure, location, and history if you're already up and running.

Your business plan isn't complete without a financial forecast . We'll tell you what to include in your financial plan, but you'll definitely want to start with a sales forecast, cash flow statement, income statement (also called profit and loss), and your balance sheet.

If you need more space for product images or additional information, use the appendix for those details.

Read our full article "How to Write a Business Plan — the Comprehensive Guide" for more information, here.

Why is a business plan important?

There are many reasons why it is important to have a business plan. A business plan is essential if you're seeking a loan or investment, can help you make big spending decisions with confidence and is a solid foundation for ongoing strategic planning and prioritization. Read our full article on "8 Reasons Having a Business Plan is Important" here.

What is a business plan writer/consultant?

A business plan writer/consultant is a business and financial expert who can help guide you through the process of creating a business plan and do much of the labor involved in creating it. They will work with you to understand your business model, do market research, create financial projections and offer guidance as all of those pieces are brought together in a full business plan document.

How to pick a business plan writer/consultant?

Picking a business plan writer or business plan consultant is an important decision — you'll want to find someone dedicated to your success, with experience in your industry or field and that is in it for the long haul. Read our full article on "Things to Look for When Hiring a Business Plan Writer" here.

Why should you pay someone to write your business plan?

You don't have time. Starting a business is time consuming. Oftentimes people have to juggle a regular 9-5 job while working on starting their business. That doesn't leave a lot of time for a big writing project. Hiring a professional to write your business plan can help you give you time to focus on the tasks that are critical to getting your business off the ground.

You want to make sure it is done right, the first time. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Hiring a professional to write your plan for you can give you the peace of mind that your plan is the best it can be when you present it to potential lenders or investors.

6 Best Business Plan Writing Services

Published October 21, 2020

Published Oct 21, 2020

WRITTEN BY: Blake Stockton

This article is part of a larger series on Starting a Business .

A well-written, well-researched business plan is vital to the success of a new business or venture. It can attract investors and help you get a bank loan. Not every businessperson has the time or expertise to craft a winning business plan. Fortunately, there are companies with decades of experience that will assist. We evaluated several and found the six below to be the best business plan writing services available.

Top 6 Business Plan Writing Services

How we evaluated business plan writing services.

All the business plan writing services we evaluated had MBA writers and years of experience in many industries. To distinguish the best, we examined the following:

• Price: Most do not list prices, although customer quotes put many of them in the $3,000 range.
• Expertise: We considered years in service, qualifications of the writing and management teams, and industries served.
• Types of Business Plans: Some companies focus only on plans for funding or strategic planning. Others offered more specific plans like visa business plans. Still, others narrowed their focus more tightly. Some also offer pitch decks and presentation-ready formats.
• Turnaround Time: The average business plan turnaround time was two weeks, with additional time for revisions. Always ask about how much time you get for revisions and if there are additional costs involved.
• Additional Services: Several of these companies offer additional services to help you succeed. If you are considering mentorship or know you’ll need some assessment, having one of these companies build your plan could give you a head start in building a relationship.

Hire Business Plan Writers in the United States

• March 21, 2024

Most entrepreneurs consider hiring a business plan writer the easiest way to prepare a business plan. Even though it’s one of the easiest ways, finding the right service provider for your needs can be a pain.

Need help finding top business plan writers in the U.S .? We’ll help out.

We’ve curated a list of top business plan writing and consulting firms in the United States with their reviews, key service offering details, experience, and other critical information.

Just before we dive right in, let’s compare traditional business planning with the modern AI-driven approach.

Traditional vs. AI-powered business planning

Business plan writers have been the first choice for business planning. No doubt about it. However, things have been on the move in recent times.

Hiring a business plan writer or consultant requires a great deal of back-and-forth communication. At the same time, AI-powered business plan generators like Upmetrics make business planning easier, more efficient, and more competitive.

Business plan writers vs. increasing use of AI tools; what’s better?

Business plan writers deliver the best results, no complaining, but hiring them is a pricy affair. Hiring an experienced writer costs anywhere between $1,000 to $3,000 or more, whereas Upmetrics’ pricing starts at $7/month.

Both offer great results; the question is how much you want to spend.

Back-and-forth hassle or a competitive and efficient solution?

As mentioned before, having a professional writer onboard is a deal of back-and-forth work. It starts by preparing the first draft, followed by a series of revisions. Having to give multiple feedbacks and review revisions takes a lot out of you.

What’s better? Let the AI business plan generator do things for you. It’s truly a better, more efficient, and easier way to plan your business.

Where do I Find Freelance Business Plan Writers?

You will find a variety of business plan writers on Upwork as it is one of the best-known freelance marketplaces. You can hire one of the top business plan writers after knowing their fees, expertise, business plan samples, etc.

2. Freelancer

Freelancer is also the place where you can find freelance business plan writers. You can post a project there, request proposals, and go through the ratings of the writers & their portfolios.

You can select an expert plan writer on Fiverr depending on your niche. Browse through different profiles and pricing structures and then pitch directly.

4. Referrals and recommendations

You can also seek suggestions and referrals from coworkers, contacts in the sector, or business advisers who might know of independent business plan writers with the required knowledge and abilities.

How much will it cost to hire a business plan writer?

The cost of hiring a business plan writer can depend on various factors like experience, expertise, the field and complexity of the business plan, etc.

However, some writers charge per hour and some charge per project for writing the business plan. We have listed some average costs of writing a business plan as follows:

• Basic business plan – $500 to $2500
• Comprehensive business plan – $2500 to $10,000
• Industry-specific business plan – $5000 to $20,000
• Hourly basis – $20 to $50
• Upmetrics – Starting from $7 per month

These costs are based on the current average charges of various freelance business plan writers.

Choosing the Right Business Plan Writer

Since you’re going to spend so much on business plan writing services, it’s crucial to consider a few factors like the range of services they provide, the method you use, and how much they charge.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the right business plan writer:

1. Writing services and previous work

If considering hiring a writer or consulting firm, consider asking for examples of their previous work. When reviewing the sample, make sure the writing is clear and concise and that the document is free of any significant errors or typos.

Since investors will primarily focus on the executive summary and financial model, be sure to give them a careful reading.

2. Price is not everything

Do not, however, make the error of judging a plan writer just on the price they offer; instead, search around for your plan to grasp the pricing possibilities accessible.

While it is safe to assume that the least expensive option will produce a product and service of lower quality, the opposite is not always true, i.e., that the most expensive option will produce a product and service of the highest quality.

3. Be clear if you want business plan writing or editing

A plan lays out a company’s strategy and how it will operate over the next five to ten years. The document outlines the company’s current situation as well as the objectives it plans to aim to meet on an operational and financial level.

The document is very personal to the business owner. However, the writer won’t be able to read the business owner’s mind.

A business plan writer can easily offer an objective look at the company, highlighting areas someone close to the company may miss.

The owner must first choose whether he prefers a writer to draft the plan or an editor to polish it after the owner has prepared a draft.

4. Understand their process

It is necessary to understand the procedure of the writer or business consultant before you hire them. Each contractor has their procedure, for instance, some might give you a questionnaire to fill & some will have an interview round to learn more about your business.

Therefore, it is essential to understand the process and to know how will they communicate more with you for business information.

Pros and Cons of Hiring a Business Plan Writer

Hiring a business plan writer has its pros and cons, here is why you should or shouldn’t hire a business plan writer:

• Writing business plans is their area of expertise, so they can provide insightful advice based on their extensive experience.
• Working with a writer gives you more time to concentrate on other areas of your company.
• You may leave a lasting impression on lenders or investors by writing a strong business plan.
• Working with a business plan writer can be pricey, particularly for new or tiny companies.
• Working with a writer entails a certain amount of control surrendering over the writing process and final output.
• Sometimes, business plan writers might not fully understand the vision & goals of your business.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Hiring a Business Plan Writer

Business plan writing is something you do for your business on your terms, so if you think you are ready to hire a business plan writer, then answer these questions to make your decision more firm.

• Who will write your business plan?
• How will you share all the information with your writer?
• Will the writer do thorough market research before writing the plan?
• How many revisions will they do?
• In which format will be the plan delivered?

If you want to write your business plan by yourself, then with the help of a business plan software & its step-by-step guidance you can.

In conclusion, hiring a business plan writer might be a wise investment if you’re looking to construct a professional business plan that can help you get finance, draw investors, or direct your business strategy.

But writing your business plan with the help of guidance at each step can be the wisest choice.

The experience, credentials, references, method, and cost should all be taken into account when choosing a business plan writer.

You can use a business planning software to draft a thorough and useful business plan that can assist you in achieving your objectives and succeeding in your entrepreneurial endeavors.

The best business plan writer acts as a guide throughout the business planning process, helping large and small business owners tailor their business plans to the needs of a potential investor.

Business Plan Writer Qualifications

There are business plan writers with different qualifications, so entrepreneurs should consider the following factors when choosing a business plan writing service:

• Experience: What is the business plan writer’s level of experience in business planning, market research, and developing a financial plan with projections? You want a writer with a strong background in each critical area of business plan writing.
• Education: A business plan writer with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in business administration or related field is preferred.
• Reviews: Does the business plan expert have any reviews from previous clients?

Why Not Write Your Own Business Plan?

While some companies can develop business plans on their own, most do not have time for this. Moreover, many business owners do not have the proper business writing skills to help convince their intended audience. For these reasons, business owners should hire a business plan writer.

A professional business plan writer will:

• Conduct market research for you
• Work with you to create the best strategies to grow your business
• Create financial projections

Your audience could range from yourself, your team, partners, banks, angel investors, venture capitalists, etc. In any of these cases, when hiring someone to write a business plan, make sure they have a working knowledge of the needs of your intended audience in order to write a plan that appeals to them.

When to Hire a Business Plan Writer

If you are lacking time, and don’t have significant expertise in the four areas listed above, consider hiring a business plan writer.

The top business plan writers:

• Have a long track record of success in and outside of your industry (outside of your industry is most important as that allows them to give you strategic ideas that have worked well in other markets that can apply to yours)
• Can conduct market research and subscribe to market research databases that give them access to expensive industry reports
• Know how to create sophisticated and valid financial projections
• Understand the wants and needs of lenders, investors, and other audiences so they can tailor the plan according

Business Plan Writers FAQs

Who writes business plans.

The best business plans are written by consultants that have written numerous business plans and have continued to work with their clients long-term. Such business plan consultants have gained the experience regarding what aspects of their business plans resonated with investors and lenders and why their clients were successful or unsuccessful in growing their companies.

The best business plan writers often have a degree in business administration, a long track record of success writing business plans inside and outside your industry, and positive reviews from previous clients. Business owners who want to work with someone to write a business plan should consider whether they lack time, expertise in the four areas listed above, or both. Business plan writers for hire don't need to know everything about your business but should be able to conduct market research and create a sophisticated financial plan as well as know the wants of lenders, investors, and other audiences so that they can tailor the plan accordingly.

What is a business plan writer/consultant?

A business plan writer/consultant is an individual who has considerable experience and expertise in business and financial planning who can develop your business plan with you. Such a consultant is able to conduct market research, develop financial projections and work with you to figure out the best strategy to grow your company, and then package this information into a business plan that compels readers to take action.

Do business plan writers work with you on all business aspects, such as marketing and expansion plans?

Yes. A n experienced business plan writer will work with you on all aspects of your business such as marketing, expansion, and even exit strategy plans, but it also depends on the business owner's budget and needs. Please consult with a business plan writer to discuss the specific needs of your business.

How do business plan writers ensure they are meeting your needs?

They are masters of business planning and will work with you on all aspects of business, but it also depends on your business needs. For more information, please consult a business plan writer.

Why can't I just take the free business planning course online or read a book about it to write my own business plan?

Chances are, you don't have the expertise in all four business areas. For instance, you may have extensive experience in marketing, but less of an expert in finance or business strategy. By hiring a business plan writer, you can focus on what you do best while someone else takes on what they do best. This will save time and money for both parties involved while ensuring that everything is handled to make your business a success.

What are the 4 aspects of creating a great business plan?

A good business plan requires the following 4 strategic planning processes:

Market Research

You need to conduct considerable research in the following areas:

• Customer Research : learning about who your target customers are and their wants and needs
• Industry Research : identifying the size of your market and trends affecting it
• Competitive Research : figuring out your direct and indirect competitors and the strengths and weaknesses of each
• Financial Research : in-depth understanding of realistic growth rates and costs (salaries, etc.) so a realistic financial model can be created

Armed with the market analysis, you need to create the optimal growth strategies for your company . For example, if you identified an unmet customer need in your research, you should create strategies to capitalize on this opportunity.

Financial Modeling

Your financial modeling is perhaps the most important part of your plan. This section includes a projected income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet.  Poorly reasoned financial models will dissuade most investors. Worse yet, if your financial forecasting calls for too much or too little funding, it will cost you dearly.

Business Plan Writing

The fourth aspect of a solid business plan is writing. While it’s important to be a good business writer, even more important is to understand the needs of the audience. For example, the world’s best writer probably hasn’t spent much time with venture capital firms . As a result, they have no idea what this audience wants, and would probably fail to write a professional plan that appealed to them.

The fully customized business plan should also include the following essential elements:

• Executive Summary
• Company Overview
• Industry Analysis
• Customer Analysis
• Competitive Analysis
• Marketing Plan
• Operations Plan
• Management Team
• Financial Plan

• Website Planet

Business Plan Writers: Expert Writing Strategies for Unmatched Success

By GGI Insights | April 11, 2024

Table of contents

A well-crafted business plan is crucial for the success of any company. It serves as a roadmap, guiding the organization towards its goals and helping to secure investments and partnerships. However, not all business owners have the necessary expertise or time to create an effective business plan on their own. That's where professional business plan writers come in.

What are Business Plan Writers?

Business plan writers are professionals who specialize in creating comprehensive, detailed business plans for entrepreneurs, startups, and established companies looking to secure funding, expand operations, or refine their strategic direction. In their quest to develop unique business plan ideas , t hese writers combine market research, financial analysis, and industry insights to craft a document like a bakery business plan that outlines a business's goals, strategies for achieving them, and the potential challenges and solutions along the path to success. Their expertise extends beyond mere writing; they provide valuable consultation, helping businesses articulate their vision, identify their target market, and project their financial future. Think of business plan writers as skilled navigators charting a course for a ship's voyage. Just as a navigator must understand the sea, weather patterns, and the ship's capabilities to plot a successful journey, business plan writers must grasp the business landscape, competitive environment, and the company's strengths and weaknesses to devise a viable business strategy. They translate complex business concepts into clear, persuasive language, making a compelling case to investors, lenders, and other stakeholders about the viability and potential of the business. Engaging a business plan writer can significantly enhance a company's chances of success. They bring objectivity and a critical eye, ensuring that the plan is realistic, achievable, and free from the biases that business owners may have. By leveraging their experience and expertise, business plan writers can produce a document that not only serves as a roadmap for the business but also as a tool to attract investment, secure loans, and guide decision-making processes. In essence, they play a pivotal role in transforming business ideas into actionable strategies, laying the groundwork for growth and success.

Understanding the Importance of a Business Plan

Before diving into the process of finding a business plan writer, it's essential to understand the significance of having a well-thought-out business plan . For entrepreneurs and small businesses, mastering the art of creating a one page business plan can be particularly beneficial, providing a succinct yet comprehensive overview of the business's strategic direction. A business plan acts as a comprehensive document that outlines the company's goals, strategies, and financial projections. It provides clarity on how the business will operate, attract customers, and generate revenue. Additionally, a business plan helps in identifying potential challenges and defining solutions to overcome them. It serves as a tool for monitoring progress and making informed decisions that align with the company's long-term objectives. For those unable to afford professional services, a free business plan template can be a useful starting point, although it may lack the customization and detailed expertise provided by a professional writer.

A business plan is not just a document required by investors or lenders; it is a roadmap that guides the entire organization. It sets the foundation for success by defining the company's mission, vision, and values. By clearly articulating these core elements, a business plan helps create a strong corporate culture and ensures that everyone in the organization is working towards a common goal.

A well-crafted business plan provides a framework for strategic decision-making. It helps the management team prioritize initiatives, allocate resources effectively, and evaluate potential opportunities . By having a clear plan in place, the company can navigate through uncertainties and market fluctuations with confidence.

Defining Your Business Goals

When searching for a business plan writer, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your company's goals. This is where the SBA business plan template can be an invaluable tool, offering a structured format to ensure all critical elements of the business are thoroughly addressed. Consider what you want to achieve in terms of growth, market share, profitability, and impact. By defining your goals, you can communicate your vision more effectively to potential business plan writers. Make sure to provide them with a detailed brief about your business, including its industry, target audience, products or services, and any unique selling points. Understanding and defining the goals and objectives of your business are crucial, as they will guide the business proposal format and content.

Establishing precise and measurable goals is paramount to the triumph of your business plan. Whether it entails boosting revenue by a specific percentage, venturing into untapped markets, or introducing groundbreaking products, having well-defined objectives serves as a compass during the planning process. It empowers you to devise strategies and tactics that align with your desired outcomes.

Defining your business goals allows you to monitor progress and gauge success. By regularly reviewing and revising your business plan, you can determine if you're on the right path to achieving your objectives or if adjustments are necessary. This continuous evaluation ensures that your business remains adaptable and responsive to the ever-changing market conditions.

The Role of a Business Plan in Company Growth

A well-crafted business plan is an essential catalyst for company growth. It not only attracts investors, lenders, and strategic partners by highlighting potential returns on investment and chances for success but also serves as a powerful communication tool for internal stakeholders. By aligning the team towards a shared vision and providing a roadmap for achieving success, a business plan instills a sense of direction and accountability. This enables the company to stay focused on its objectives and adapt swiftly to market changes.

Furthermore, a business plan acts as a detailed blueprint for expansion and scalability. It outlines the necessary steps and resources for growing the business, whether it involves opening new locations, entering untapped markets, or diversifying product offerings. Having a well-defined growth strategy in place empowers the company to seize opportunities and maximize its potential.

Additionally, a business plan plays a crucial role in risk management. Through thorough market analysis, competition evaluation, and identification of potential challenges, the company can proactively mitigate risks. This proactive approach minimizes the impact of unforeseen events and substantially increases the likelihood of long-term success.

A business plan is far more than just a document; it is a strategic tool that drives growth, aligns stakeholders, and ensures the enduring success of a company. By devoting time and effort to developing a comprehensive business plan, you are setting your business up for success and significantly enhancing its chances of thriving in a fiercely competitive market.

Key Qualities to Look for in a Business Plan Writer

When hiring a business plan writer, it's crucial to consider their qualifications, experience, and other essential qualities. Here are a few key qualities to look for:

Industry Experience and Knowledge

One crucial factor to consider when choosing a business plan writer is their industry expertise and knowledge. It is essential that they have a deep understanding of your specific industry or niche, including market dynamics, competition, and growth opportunities. By having experience in your industry, a writer can provide valuable insights and recommendations to develop an impactful business plan that resonates with your target audience.

For instance, if you operate in the technology industry, it is beneficial to work with a business plan writer who has expertise in software development or IT consulting. This writer will have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and trends in the market, enabling them to offer strategic recommendations on how to position your business and differentiate yourself from competitors.

A business plan writer who has previously worked with similar companies can bring a wealth of knowledge about industry best practices and successful strategies. They can leverage this experience to create a comprehensive and compelling business plan that addresses potential risks and maximizes opportunities for your specific business.

By selecting a business plan writer with industry-specific experience and knowledge, you can ensure that your business plan is tailored to your industry's unique requirements and sets your company up for success.

Strong Communication Skills

Effective communication is a vital component of a successful partnership with a business plan writer. It is crucial that they possess strong listening skills to fully grasp your goals, ideas, and concerns. Furthermore, they should be adept at articulating complex business concepts and strategies in a concise and clear manner. A business plan writer with exceptional communication skills will accurately represent your vision in the plan, allowing all stakeholders to easily understand and connect with it.

A skilled business plan writer will actively engage with you throughout the process, seeking clarification when necessary and providing regular updates on the plan's progress. They will also be open to feedback and receptive to incorporating your ideas and suggestions into the final document.

A business plan writer who can effectively communicate your business's unique value proposition, competitive advantage, and growth potential will significantly enhance your chances of attracting investors and securing funding.

Attention to Detail and Organizational Skills

Crafting a business plan requires meticulous attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills. A skilled writer should be able to gather relevant information about your business, industry, customers, and competitors, and seamlessly organize it into a coherent and structured plan. They must give careful consideration to financial projections, market analysis, and implementation strategies. Attention to detail is paramount to ensure accuracy and credibility in the final business plan document.

A business plan writer with strong organizational skills can create a logical flow of information, ensuring each section of the plan complements and builds upon the previous one. They will also meticulously review the plan to eliminate any grammatical errors, typos, or inconsistencies, ensuring a polished and professional document.

Additionally, a detail-oriented business plan writer will conduct thorough research to gather the most up-to-date and relevant data to support the plan's claims and projections. They will analyze market trends, customer behavior, and industry regulations to provide accurate and realistic forecasts.

Ultimately, a business plan writer who possesses these key qualities will not only help you develop a comprehensive and compelling business plan but will also become a valuable partner throughout your entrepreneurial journey. Their expertise, insights, and fresh perspective will significantly enhance your chances of success.

Where to Find Professional Business Plan Writers

Now that we understand the qualities to look for in a business plan writer, let's explore where you can find them:

Online Platforms for Freelance Writers

These platforms provide the opportunity to explore writers' profiles, portfolios, and reviews, helping you find the perfect match for your business. By posting your project requirements, you can receive proposals from interested writers. It is essential to carefully review their previous work and client feedback to assess their credibility and expertise.

When searching for business plan writers on online platforms, it is crucial to consider the specific needs of your business. Different writers may specialize in various industries or types of business plans. Some may have expertise in creating plans for startups, while others may excel in assisting established companies seeking funding for expansion. It is worth taking the time to thoroughly research and compare writers, ensuring they understand your industry and can effectively communicate your business goals and strategies.

In addition to the aforementioned platforms, you can also find industry-specific websites and forums that cater to your particular field. These platforms often attract writers with a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within your industry.

Business Consultancy Firms

Business consultancy firms are a valuable resource for businesses looking to develop a comprehensive business plan. These firms offer specialized services that go beyond just business plan writing. By working with a consultancy firm, you gain access to a team of experts with industry-specific knowledge and experience who can provide valuable insights and guidance throughout the planning process.

One of the key advantages of working with a business consultancy firm is the ability to create a tailored business plan. These firms understand the unique challenges and opportunities within your industry and can help you develop a plan that addresses these specific factors. They will conduct thorough market research to identify trends and competitive dynamics, allowing you to make informed decisions about your business strategy.

In addition to business plan writing, consultancy firms offer a wide range of consulting services that can further support your business growth. These services may include financial analysis, strategic planning, and marketing strategy development. By taking advantage of these additional services, you can ensure that your business plan is not only well-written but also comprehensive and aligned with your overall business objectives.

When choosing a business consultancy firm, it's important to consider their track record and reputation. Look for firms with a proven track record of success and positive client testimonials. This information can give you confidence in their ability to deliver high-quality results. Additionally, consider scheduling consultations with multiple firms to discuss your business needs and evaluate their expertise and approach. This will help you make an informed decision and find a firm that can provide the level of support and expertise you require.

By working with a business consultancy firm, you can benefit from their industry-specific knowledge, expertise, and comprehensive range of services. This partnership can greatly enhance your chances of developing a successful business plan that aligns with your overall growth strategy. Whether you're a startup or an established company looking to expand, a business consultancy firm can provide the guidance and support you need to achieve your business goals.

Recommendations and Networking

Networking and seeking recommendations are not only effective ways to find professional business plan writers, but they can also provide you with valuable insights and connections that can further enhance your entrepreneurial journey. By connecting with other business owners, industry associations, or entrepreneurship organizations in your network, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience.

When reaching out to your network for recommendations, it's important to seek advice from trusted sources who have firsthand experience working with business plan writers. Their insights can help you find a writer who is the right fit for your specific needs. By discussing your business goals and requirements with these individuals, they will have a better understanding of what you are looking for in a business plan writer and can provide more targeted recommendations.

Attending industry events, conferences, and workshops is another great way to expand your network and connect with professionals who may have connections to business plan writers. These events provide opportunities to engage in conversations and build relationships with individuals who share your industry or entrepreneurial interests. By actively participating in these events, you may come across professionals who can provide recommendations or introduce you to business plan writers who have a proven track record within your industry.

When seeking recommendations, it's important to clearly communicate your business goals and requirements. This will ensure that others understand exactly what you are looking for in a business plan writer and can provide more relevant recommendations. Additionally, don't hesitate to ask for samples of the writers' work or request to speak with their past clients. This will give you a better understanding of their capabilities and the quality of their work, helping you make an informed decision.

Networking and seeking recommendations not only allow you to find professional business plan writers, but they also provide you with a support system of like-minded individuals who can offer guidance and advice throughout your entrepreneurial journey. By leveraging the power of your network, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience that can significantly enhance your chances of success. So don't hesitate to reach out, connect, and build relationships within your industry or entrepreneurial community.

Evaluating Potential Business Plan Writers

Once you have identified potential business plan writers, it's essential to evaluate their suitability and expertise. Here are a few steps to follow:

Reviewing Portfolios and Previous Work

Ask the writers to provide samples of their previous business plans or relevant writing projects. Review their portfolios to assess their writing style, structure, and level of detail. Look for business plans that are similar to your industry or business model to gauge their expertise and ability to tailor the plan to your specific needs.

Conducting Interviews

Set up interviews with the shortlisted candidates to discuss your business goals, expectations, and their approach to business plan writing. Use this opportunity to gauge their understanding of your industry and their ability to grasp the unique aspects of your business. Ask questions about their process, timeline, and how they collaborate with clients to ensure a seamless working relationship.

Checking References and Testimonials

Always ask for references from previous clients and follow up with them to gather feedback on the writer's professionalism, quality of work, and adherence to deadlines. Testimonials and reviews provide valuable insights into their reputation and can help you make an informed decision.

By following these steps and considering the key qualities outlined above, you will be on your way to finding the right business plan writer for your company. Remember, hiring a professional can save you time and ensure that your business plan is comprehensive, compelling, and aligned with your strategic objectives.

Having a well-crafted business plan is essential for the success of any company. Your business lives and dies based on how good your initials are and how well you can execute them. A good business plan not only serves as a roadmap for your company’s growth but also acts as a persuasive document to attract investors, lenders, and potential partners. However, creating a business plan can be a daunting task, requiring time, research, and expertise that you may not have. This is where engaging professional business plan writers can make all the difference.

Whether you’re starting a new business or looking to secure funding for your existing one, our team of experienced writers is here to help you create a comprehensive and effective business plan. Everyone at Idea To Plan has a wealth of expertise and industry knowledge that you can leverage to craft the best business plans possible. Our writers have experience in a wide range of industries and can tailor your business plan to meet your specific needs. This ensures that your plan accurately represents your business and its unique value proposition.

There is a lot to go over when it comes to competent business planning and why you should be using professional plan writers for the task. Let’s go over the benefits you’ll see by hiring Idea To Plan for your needs.

Why Is a Business Plan Necessary for Success?

A business plan serves as a roadmap for entrepreneurs, guiding them through the various stages of their venture’s development. Its necessity for success is multifaceted and indispensable for several reasons.

Firstly, it identifies and defines the goals of your business, giving you a clear vision to work towards. This, in turn, provides a roadmap outlining the steps necessary to reach those goals. It’s akin to a sat-nav for your business, pointing the way to ongoing development and growth.

Secondly, a business plan helps you to understand your market and your competitors. Through detailed market analysis, it provides an insight into the needs and wants of your potential customers, the offerings of your competitors, and the overall dynamics of the industry. This understanding enables you to position your business effectively and devise strategies to stand out in the market.

Thirdly, a business plan is instrumental in attracting funding. It serves as a formal document that presents a compelling case for your business’s profitability to investors, lenders, and other potential stakeholders. By outlining how your business operates, being upfront about potential risks, and explaining in detail why you’ll be a success, you’re more likely to find people willing to take a chance at your success.

Lastly, a business plan is a valuable tool for risk management. It allows you to identify and address potential challenges and risks before they become problematic, helping to prevent costly mistakes and setbacks. This proactive approach not only helps to secure the longevity of your business but also supports its resilience in the face of adversity.

In essence, a business plan serves as a cornerstone of your business’s foundation. It outlines your business objectives, market understanding, financial projections, and risk mitigation strategies, all of which are essential elements for achieving long-term success.

The Process of Hiring Professional Business Plan Writers

At Idea To Plan, we believe in a meticulous and systematic approach where every step is aimed at understanding your business better and curating a robust plan. Our process is designed to optimize the collaboration between our team and yours, ensuring we are in sync at every step. This allows us to craft a business plan that is not just a document but a strategic guide that precisely depicts your business vision and the path to achieving it.

When it comes to hiring professional business plan writers, you need a team that follows a diligent process, understands your business, and crafts your plan to serve its specific needs. Here’s a glimpse into how our experts at Idea To Plan work:

Initial Consultation and Project Assessment

When you work with Idea To Plan, our writing process begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation. We dive deep into understanding your business’s nature, goals, and challenges. By assessing your business’s current position and where you envision it in the future, we collect the necessary data to start crafting your business plan.

Customized Business Plan Development

After a comprehensive consultation, our professional writers will start developing a tailored business plan that specifically caters to your business’s requirements. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all strategies. Instead, we incorporate your unique insights and our industry experience to create a highly personalized and effective business plan.

Collaboration and Revisions

Once the initial plan is drafted, we don’t just send it off and forget you. We maintain an interactive collaboration with our clients, encouraging them to review and offer feedback on the draft. We understand that plans can evolve, so we remain flexible and open to making revisions until you are entirely satisfied with the final product. This collaborative approach ensures that the business plan succeeds in capturing your vision accurately.

What Goes Into a Successful Business Plan?

A successful business plan often consists of several key components. Idea To Plan focuses on zeroing in on your business’s most crucial elements and working with them to create the most helpful plan possible. Here’s a rundown of the kind of information you can expect to find in a finished plan:

Executive Summary

The executive summary is a brief overview of your business, its products or services, its mission and vision, and why it’s poised for success. This is usually the first thing readers see, so it should be compelling and concise.

Business Description

The business description is where you provide detailed information about your company, the problems it solves, and who your customers are. Highlight your business’s strengths and what makes it unique in the market.

Market Analysis

This section requires thorough research into your industry, your competition, and your target market. It should demonstrate that there’s a demand for your products or services and that you understand the marketplace dynamics.

Marketing and Sales Strategy

This is your plan for attracting and retaining customers. Customers can’t very well use a business they don’t know exists, which is why getting your name out there is something work figuring out early on. Include your sales strategy, pricing plan, proposed advertising, and marketing channels. Ironing out these details gives you a leg up when it comes to putting them into action since all of these important pieces to your success story will already be there to act upon.

Organization and Management

This outlines your business’s organizational structure, details about the ownership of your company, specifics on your internal management team, and qualifications of your board of directors.

Services or Products

This section details what you’re selling or what service you’re offering. Explain how it benefits your customers and how it stands out from what your competitors are offering.

Funding Request

If you’re seeking funding, describe your current funding requirements, future funding requirements over the next five years, how you will use the funds, and the types of funding you would consider. You should also mention any existing funding you have to provide an understanding of your business’s current funding situation. Most people won’t give you money if they don’t think you can use it responsibly, so put your best foot forward here and in the rest of the plan.

Financial Projections

This is where you convince the reader that your business is a good financial risk. Use graphs and charts to help visually illustrate your financial history and projections.

Benefits of Using Professional Business Plan Writers

Using professional business plan writers from Idea To Plan comes with numerous benefits beyond just getting a well-written and thorough plan. Some of the benefits of outsourcing your planning to the pros include:

Expertise and Industry Knowledge

They then craft a plan that precisely aligns with your business goals and industry. Unlike generic business plans, these tailored solutions have a higher chance of success as they take into account the unique challenges and opportunities your business may face.

Nonprofits face unique challenges as they look to not just get funded but meet their objectives and serve those they are hoping to benefit.

The EB-5 visa business plan initiative, a federal program making it possible for foreign citizens to get a permanent residency green card, is making the American dream come true for entrepreneurs from around the world.

EB-5 (the fifth employment-based preference immigrant visa) Regional Centers are private, public or government entities designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that sponsor capital investment projects. One of the main advantages of a regional center is that the center can benefit from indirect job creation by setting up an investment fund for multiple investors and eliminating the need for individuals to invest in projects directly. Regional centers are a good choice for investors whose main objective is residency status rather than hands-on management of a project of their own and the program allows the investor to apply for a visa for immediate family, also.

Embarking on the journey of entrepreneurship is both thrilling and daunting. You have a vision, a dream to turn into reality, but navigating the complexities of starting or expanding a business requires careful planning and strategy. At the heart of this process lies the business plan—a roadmap that outlines your goals, strategies, and financial projections. Crafting a compelling and effective business plan can be challenging, but with the help of expert business plan writers, you can navigate this task with confidence. In this article, we’ll delve into some valuable tips and tricks from seasoned business plan writers to help you create a plan that sets your business up for success.

• Start with a Clear Vision A successful business plan begins with a clear and compelling vision for your business. Before diving into the details, take the time to articulate your vision, mission, and core values. This will serve as the foundation for your business plan and guide all your strategic decisions moving forward.
• Know Your Audience Understanding your audience is key to crafting a business plan that resonates with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders. Tailor your plan to address their specific needs, concerns, and interests. Use language and terminology that they can relate to, and highlight the aspects of your business that are most relevant to them.
• Focus on the Executive Summary The executive summary is arguably the most important part of your business plan. It’s the first thing investors and lenders will read, and it sets the tone for the rest of the document. Keep it concise, engaging, and informative, highlighting the key points of your business and why it’s worth investing in.
• Be Realistic with Financial Projections While optimism is important in entrepreneurship, it’s essential to be realistic when it comes to financial projections. Avoid overly optimistic projections that may raise doubts among investors. Instead, base your projections on thorough market research, realistic assumptions, and conservative estimates.
• Tell a Compelling Story Your business plan should tell a compelling story that captivates your audience and communicates the unique value proposition of your business. Use storytelling techniques to bring your vision to life, and illustrate how your business addresses a specific need or solves a problem in the market.
• Seek Feedback and Iterate Don’t be afraid to seek feedback on your business plan from trusted advisors, mentors, or industry experts. Their insights and perspectives can help you identify blind spots, refine your strategy, and strengthen your plan. Be open to constructive criticism and be willing to iterate and revise your plan as needed.
• Pay Attention to Detail Attention to detail is crucial when it comes to crafting a professional business plan. Ensure that your plan is well-organized, free of errors, and visually appealing. Use consistent formatting and style throughout the document, and pay close attention to grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Stay Flexible and Adaptive The business landscape is constantly evolving, and your business plan should be flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances. Be prepared to revise and update your plan as needed, and remain agile in response to new opportunities and challenges that arise.

In conclusion, crafting a compelling business plan is a vital step in the success of any business venture. By following these tips and tricks from expert business plan writers , you can create a plan that not only impresses investors and lenders but also guides your business towards long-term success. If you’re in search of America’s best-rated business plan writing service, look no further than Go Business Plans .

8 Business Plan Templates You Can Get for Free

8 min. read

Updated April 10, 2024

A business plan template can be an excellent tool to simplify the creation of your business plan. 

The pre-set structure helps you organize ideas, covers all critical business information, and saves you time and effort on formatting.

The only issue? There are SO many free business plan templates out there. 

So, which ones are actually worth using? 

To help remove the guesswork, I’ve rounded up some of the best business plan templates you can access right now. 

These are listed in no particular order, and each has its benefits and drawbacks.

What to look for in a business plan template

Not all business plan templates are created equal. As you weigh your options and decide which template(s) you’ll use, be sure to review them with the following criteria in mind:

• Easy to edit: A template should save you time. That won’t be the case if you have to fuss around figuring out how to edit the document, or even worse, it doesn’t allow you to edit at all.
• Contains the right sections: A good template should cover all essential sections of a business plan , including the executive summary, product/service description, market/competitive analysis, marketing and sales plan, operations, milestones, and financial projections. 
• Provides guidance: You should be able to trust that the information in a template is accurate. That means the organization or person who created the template is highly credible, known for producing useful resources, and ideally has some entrepreneurial experience.
• Software compatibility: Lastly, you want any template to be compatible with the software platforms you use. More than likely, this means it’s available in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or PDF format at a minimum. 

1. Bplans — A plan with expert guidance

Since you’re already on Bplans, I have to first mention the templates that we have available. 

Our traditional and one-page templates were created by entrepreneurs and business owners with over 80 years of collective planning experience. We revisit and update them annually to ensure they are approachable, thorough, and aligned with our team’s evolving best practices.  

The templates, available in Word, PDF, or Google Doc formats, include in-depth guidance on what to include in each section, expert tips, and links to additional resources. 

Plus, we have over 550 real-world sample business plans you can use for guidance when filling out your template.

2. SBA — Introduction to business plans

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers two different business plan templates along with a short planning guide. 

While not incredibly in-depth, it’s enough to help you understand how traditional and lean plans are structured and what information needs to be covered. The templates themselves are more like examples, providing you with a finished product to reference as you write your plan.

The key benefit of using these templates is that they were created by the SBA. While they may provide less guidance, you can be assured that the information and structure meet their expectations.

3. SCORE — Planning workbook

SCORE’s template is more like a workbook. It includes exercises after each section to help you get your ideas down and turn them into a structured plan.

The market research worksheets are especially useful. They provide a clear framework for identifying your target market and analyzing competitors from multiple angles. Plus, they give you an easy way to document all the information you’re collecting.

You will likely have to remove the exercises in this template to make it investor-ready. But it can be worth it if you’re struggling to get past a blank page and want a more interactive planning method.

4. PandaDoc — A template with fillable forms

PandaDoc’s library offers a variety of industry-specific business plan templates that feature a modern design flair and concise instructions. 

These templates are designed for sharing. They include fillable fields and sections for non-disclosure agreements, which may be necessary when sending a plan to investors.  

But the real benefit is their compatibility with PandaDoc’s platform. Yes, they are free, but if you’re a PandaDoc subscriber, you’ll have far more customization options. 

Out of all their templates, the standard business plan template is the most in-depth. The rest, while still useful, go a bit lighter on guidance in favor of tailoring the plan to a specific industry.

5. Canva — Pitch with your plan

Canva is a great option for building a visually stunning business plan that can be used as a pitch tool. It offers a diverse array of templates built by their in-house team and the larger creative community, meaning the number of options constantly grows.

You will need to verify that the information in the template you choose matches the standard structure of a traditional business plan. 

You should do this with any template, but it’s especially important with any tool that accepts community submissions. While they are likely reviewed and approved, there may still be errors.

Remember, you can only edit these templates within Canva. Luckily, you only need a free subscription, and you may just miss out on some of the visual assets being used. 

To get the most value, it may be best to create a more traditional planning document and transfer that information into Canva.

6. ClickUp — The collaborative template

Out of all the project management tools that offer free business plan templates, ClickUp’s is the most approachable.

Rather than throwing you into all the features and expecting you to figure it out—ClickUp provides a thorough startup guide with resource links, images, and videos explaining how to write a plan using the tool. 

There’s also a completed sample plan (structured like an expanded one-page plan) for you to reference and see how the more traditional document can connect to the product management features. You can set goals, target dates, leave comments, and even assign tasks to someone else on your team. 

These features are limited to the ClickUp platform and will not be useful for everyone. They will likely get in the way of writing a plan you can easily share with lenders or investors. 

But this is a great option if you’re looking for a template that makes internal collaboration more fluid and keeps all your information in one place.

7. Smartsheet — A wide variety of templates

I’m including Smartsheet’s library of templates on this list because of the sheer number of options they provide. 

They have a simple business plan template, a one-page plan, a fill-in-the-blank template, a plan outline, a plan grading rubric, and even an Excel-built project plan. All are perfectly usable and vary in visual style, depth of instructions, and the available format.

Honestly, the only drawback (which is also the core benefit) is that the amount of templates can be overwhelming. If you’re already uncertain which plan option is right for you, the lengthy list they provide may not provide much clarity.

At the same time, it can be a great resource if you want a one-stop shop to view multiple plan types.

8. ReferralRock affiliate marketing business plan

I’m adding ReferralRock’s template to this list due to its specificity. 

It’s not your standard business plan template. The plan is tailored with specific sections and guidance around launching an affiliate marketing business. 

Most of the template is dedicated to defining how to choose affiliates, set commissions, create legal agreements, and track performance.

So, if you plan on starting an affiliate marketing business or program, this template will provide more specific guidance. Just know that you will likely need to reference additional resources when writing the non-industry sections of your plan.

Does it matter what business plan template you use?

The short answer is no. As long as the structure is correct, it saves you time, and it helps you write your business plan , then any template will work. 

What it ultimately comes down to, is what sort of value you hope to get from the template. 

• Do you need more guidance? 
• A simple way to structure your plan? 
• An option that works with a specific tool?
• A way to make your plan more visually interesting?

Hopefully, this list has helped you hone in on an option that meets one (or several) of these needs. Still, it may be worth downloading a few of these templates to determine the right fit. 

And really, what matters most is that you spend time writing a business plan . It will help you avoid early mistakes, determine if you have a viable business, and fully consider what it will take to get up and running. 

If you need additional guidance, check out our library of planning resources . We cover everything from plan formats , to how to write a business plan, and even how to use it as a management tool . 

If you don’t want to waste time researching other templates, you can download our one-page or traditional business plan template and jump right into the planning process.
