Business Plan Services

Whether you are fundraising or developing strategic partnerships,
your business plan is an important document that conveys a
message to the reader about your company.   While most of us
would never dream of presenting a self-prepared legal document or
self-diagnosing a serious illness, many people will walk into a
lender or enter discussions with a potential partner with a self-
prepared business plan only to wonder why the reader didn’t “get it”.  

If you are ready to take your vision to the next level and need help
developing a roadmap to get there, give us a call.  Our team of
experts will work with you to turn your vision into a professional
document that helps you put your best foot forward.

Our business plan services include:  

Business Plan Review: $375
An expert from our business plan review team will be assigned to
your project.  The expert will hold a 45-minute phone meeting with
you to discuss your business and will provide you with a Business
Plan Critique that suggests ways that you can improve your
business plan.  A reviewer will be available to re-read your updated
plan and will provide final feedback via email.

Business Plan Development:  $1250 - $ 5275      
IFEL will work with you to prepare a professional business plan that
will: 1) facilitate fundraising efforts, and 2) serve as an operational
guide for management.  During the term of this project, we will also
provide general strategic advice with respect to business matters
relating to or affecting your ability to carry out the functions for which
the business plan is being developed. The business plan
development process includes: 1) Investigation, 2) Business Plan
Preparation, 3) Review and 4) Delivery.  Deliverables include bound
and electronic copies of your business plan.  
Pricing is based on the
complexity of the financial model, amount of money being sought,
amount of money being raised and type of funding being sought.

Financial Modeling/Financial Assumption Development:  $750
Many people write long business plans that never answer the
question "How does this business make money?"  You will be
assigned a coach to work with you to develop a financial model that
makes sense.  After providing your coach with your business plan,
you and your coach will have four (4) 60-minute telephone meetings
to discuss the components of your business model, assumptions,
case scenarios and formatting.    

Action Plan Development:  $395
Based on three (3) 45-minute phone interviews with the
management team and supplemental data (eg. list of competitors,
strategic plan, historical financials) provided by the management
team, we will prepare an 18-month action plan for you with quarterly
milestones.  This action plan will help you stay on the path to
success.  

PowerPoint Presentation Development:    $495*
A presentation expert will work with you to prepare a PowerPoint
presentation.  Material for the presentation will be taken from your
business plan or other similar text.  Our experts know how to
develop presentations that focus the viewer on the key points that
you want to make.  Your presentation will be developed considering
the business subject matter, formatting clarity, story development
and presentation style.  The overall goal is to make sure that your
presentation clearly conveys the intended message to the target
audience.

Pitch Coaching: $600*
The best presentation delivered poorly will not get you the result you
want.  A pitch coach will work with you in four (4) 60-minute meetings
to refine your presentation/elevator pitch.
