frequently asked questions

  1. What is a business plan, and why do I need one?

    A business plan is something you need if you're planning on starting a new business or if you're planning on expanding your existing business. Banks, other investors, and prospective business partners will want to see if you know how to plan a business, so that they know what kind of risk they're taking by getting involved with you. If you don't have a comprehensive business plan, you will not be able to apply for any of the loans or grants that you need to move forward. A good business plan shows how you plan to run your business on a daily basis, which products and services you plan to offer, how you plan on marketing them, and how much money you expect to make - both in the beginning and over time. If you're working with business partners, your plan should also lay out how responsibilities are going to be divided.

  3. Do you offer private consultations?

    Consultations are essential to putting together a solid business plan. All of our packages come with free consultations via email and phone. If you prefer an in-person conference, however, we can schedule one on-site at our conference rooms for an additional fee.

  4. What is the process for creating a business plan?

    We will begin by holding a phone consultation to discuss your goals and ideas. Prior to the consultation, you may want to view free business plans/sample plans to gain an idea of what a plan typically includes. Then, we will send you a questionnaire which you will complete to give us an idea of your industry, goals, products/services, working capital, etc. Once we receive the questionnaire, we will perform additional market and industry research. Based on both pieces of information, we will then begin writing the business plan. After the plan is drafted, it will be sent through our internal review process to check for accuracy.

  5. How long will it take?

    Depending on which package you purchase, the process should take 7 to 10 business days. With prior notification, we will do our best to accommodate clients who require a faster turnaround.

  6. Will my plan be customized?

    Every Bargain Business Plan is 100% customized to the business and industry. Our plans go through an extensive revision process in which multiple writers and editors review the plan and offer suggestions. This helps ensure that each plan is unique and authentic.

  7. What if my plan needs revision?

    Although we are not liable for disapprovals due to issues other than any contained within the plan itself, we will work with you to perfect your plan and correct any mistakes without additional service charges.

  8. Are your plans investor, bank, grant, and SBA ready?

    Every plan is professionally formatted and packaged and ready to be presented to banks, investors, and SBAs. The Economical and Optimum packages also include ancillary materials such as CD copies, PowerPoint presentations, and color chart boards for an enticing presentation.

  9. Which package should I choose?

    All three packages consist of the same professional business plans, but each package has different materials which can enhance your prospects. The best plan for you depends on how you intend to present your plan to investors. During your consultation, we can discuss in further detail which plan is right for you.

  10. Will you let me know when my plan is ready?

    Yes, we will email you a PDF of the finished plan and further information.

  11. How can I contact you?

    When you schedule a consultation, we will provide you with an employee contact who will be available by phone and email. In the meantime, you can contact us via our contact form.
