A Strategic Business Development Process and Roadmap that Works for You
From Concept to Funding to Market to Ongoing Operations… Even Sale

A Lean Business Plan Enabling an Evolving, Logical Narrative and Financial Simulation to Inform Your Team, Investors, Even a Buyer

How We Get There From Here

Let’s say you have a promising business idea, a startup, or a growing company…
Whether or not you need outside funding, you must detail your vision and mission so that everyone working with you gets how the business works, knows exactly what to do, and is fully engaged.

A let-it-flow approach might work for an unplanned getaway, but to achieve certain goals with limited resources, the urgency and small investment of time to document the big picture in a plan is crucial.

Evolving Multi-Purpose Catalog of Your Business From Startup to Exit

At the same time, the demand for what your business does is likely greater than ever…
and it’s growing faster than ever too.

In addition to having the chops, the gravitas, and a bullet-proof niche,
a well-thought-out plan goes a long way as part of your extraordinary advantage.

When in your business do you not need a plan?
In all of the scenarios below, your detailed blueprint/roadmap evolves with you as you progress.

It also doubles as your secret weapon distancing you from others competing for the same resources.

The Easiest to Use Planning & Presentation System for…

• Start-Up – Incorporate the key components to get started the right way, minimize unforced errors, and “bootstrap” toward funding (if needed) Perfect for those who don’t know what they don’t know.

• Raising Capital – Build credibility and demonstrate believability with lnvestors & lenders.

• Non-Profit – Everything applies and goes a long way toward dazzling donors with your efficiencies and careful use of their funds to maximize their “Return on Impact”

• Growing Company – Repeatable, scalable processes require organization, building teams, and managing employees. Control the chaos before it starts and continue growing smoothly.

• Onboarding – What faster way is there to get new team members engaged and up to speed on the business?

• Struggling?!? – This sucks, but I’ve been there myself back when and my business plan pulled me out of the ditch. This deal is easily within your reach and just may save your bacon.

• Recently Funded – Plan before you burn all that cash, and put systems in place to make the most of the investment(s) in your company

• Deal with a Big Corp – Build credibility. Can your business deliver on a big deal? They’ll want proof you have your act together. (I started Business Power Tools with a business plan for a friend to land a deal with Apple. That evolved into our BizPlanBuilder and everything else.)

• Ongoing Strategic Planning – It’s good to regularly revisit your “first principles:” the Problem you solve, your Customers, the Market, your Operation, your Team… What’s changed? What do you want to change? Engaging your team in a guided, collaborative process makes it work.

• Licensing – An alternative to building a company is licensing your product / intellectual property to an established company with the resources, distribution, and sales force. Paint a promising picture. Collect money.

• Sale – Builds Your Case for a Bright Future and Higher Valuation. Add the processes and systems that make it attractive to sell faster at a higher valuation

• Succession – Everything your kids / new owners need to successfully continue what you started. If you carry-back some of the financing, this is especially critical for you.

“So much of company building I realized was about having a strong foundation.
I saw countless “hot” startups rise fast and then fail hard because they didn’t take time to build the right team,
the right foundation, and the right operating system to run a company.”
~ Taweed Kadar, Founder & CEO, ToutApp
