Business Plan Development

A business plan is a written guide to starting and running your business.  Consider it your roadmap to success.

SBA staff will work with you to develop a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan that helps you allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications, and make the right decisions for the future.

Are you an established business and don’t think you need a business plan?  Think again.  Among other things a business plan can help an established business

  • identify markets and their potential, by product or service,
  • identify your competition,
  • evaluate your competition’s strengths and weaknesses and how you can exploit their weaknesses, find and secure expansion capital.

Success Stories

  • The founders of a trucking company needed to refocus on optimizing haul backs and expand into a second, mid-west depot.  The business plan developed by SBA was implemented, improving margins while increasing revenues and achieving goals without requiring venture capital.
  • A gentleman wanted to open his own business in a field in which he had over twenty years experience. However, he had no idea how to write a business plan. SBA helped him take his concept and put it on paper in the appropriate format. He successfully sold a lender on his skills, drive and desire; not to mention his convincing business plan.
