Time Management

At least 60-70% of our work is from clients that tried software (Business Plan Pro common software) templates or a business plan consultant that was cheap and then they came to us. The saying you get what you pay for is usually true, and often you get less. Ask yourself if you expect your lender or investor to react positively to your professional and well thought out business ideas when you try a short cut to a professional and concise plan that has what is needed and nothing more. Time is money, so don't waste time with plans that have to be rewritten after they are not well received, deemed incomplete, or contain so much unneeded info that a busy banker sets them aside to the bottom of the pile...or the trash.

Then there is your time. You have your business to run, or maybe a job for those with start-ups and a business to get started on the side. You are an expert in what you do, but not a business consultant, analyst or writer that thinks like an investor or banker, and with distractions, it can take you months and months. A professional team like ours can turn around a plan, forecasts, cash flow analysis and market study in 30 days or less. Ask yourself, " Is the best use of your time the use of our (Tim@thebusinessplanconsultants.com) time?"
