Business Planning
Refining your ideas and strategies, molding them into a viable business
What we do
We challenge your assumptions, fill gaps in your thinking, do lots of independent research and analysis, and help formulate business models, tactics, and strategies.
We help crystalize your long-term competitive differentiation, identify target markets, and plan for business scalability.
We then help you express it in a compelling package – whether it’s a business plan, pitch deck, PPM (working with your attorney), financial forecast, Business Model Canvas, elevator pitch, or executive summary – that is most appropriate for your specific situation and target audience.

Full Service Business Plan Consulting
We will do the “heavy lifting” so you can focus on other priorities: developing your product, finding customers, and building your team.
We can help you optimize your strategy; research and analyze your market and competition; and create a clear and compelling plan to articulate your vision.
We don’t use cookie-cutter templates – we develop your plans from scratch to ensure you tell your unique story in the most compelling way possible.
Guided Business Planning
If you are on a more limited budget and have the time to conduct a majority of the research and writing, we can:
- Guide and prioritize your efforts;
- Supply templates and other helpful materials;
- Help you avoid common business planning mistakes; and
- Critique, edit, and format your drafts.
Note that this is not for the faint of heart. This is a lot of work and will require a full-time commitment for weeks or months. Many entrepreneurs feel it makes more sense to focus on building the business.
