THE 'UNIQUE' BENEFITS OF CHOOSING
BizPlanPlus
Business Plan Writer Vancouver
Benefit 1 - Get Funding Support...for Any Amount...for Any Business Need

Benefit 2 - Canadian-Operated with Worldly Experience
I operate BizPlanPlus. I'm a Canadian with a 20-year career as a Product Manager, Business Strategist, and Director of Market Development with:
-
2 Canadian Telecommunications service providers (Telus and Bell Mobility),
-
3 Silicon Valley and SE Asia High Tech companies (Octel Communications, Lucent Technologies, Nokia)
-
General Manager in the SE Asia holiday hospitality industry (Exotiq Property Management).
Since 2010 I have provided business planning services through BizPlanPlus. Clients are fresh entrepreneurs and seasoned business developers. They operate from Bali, SE Asia, and globally in several other countries. However, Vancouver has been the permanent home of BizPlanPlus since 2021.
Benefit 3 - Exclusive...to You
I work with only one client at a time to assure 100% undivided attention and effort. There are no ‘teams’ of unknown people handling your business plan writing. Just me, exclusively.
I have worked with many clients at the same time before. They were short-changed by shared client work focus. Some or most of the work went to less-invested business plan writing ‘team’ resources. Business students, freelancers, or junior internal business writers.
Benefit 4 - Greater Vancouver and BC Only
I live and work in the Greater Vancouver municipal area, the Lower Mainland, and the province of British Columbia. I know and appreciate your local British Columbia business context.
Awareness of your local industry, market conditions, and unique business climate is a requirement for quality business plan writing.
Benefit 5 - We Begin with a Blank Page
My commitment is to write business plan narratives without relying on pre-formatted templates, fill-in-the-blank software applications, or copy/paste plagiarism from prior business plans.
Expert business plan writing doesn't follow a linear path. Each plan section informs previous or following sections. The document matures until it's completely finished (like painting a picture).
Every plan I write starts with a blank sheet of paper (actually a fresh Google Docs document).
The narrative writing grows from a series of collaborative client and writer discussions. Through in-person and video or telephone calls. My own relevant industry, market, competitor, and regulatory research is also added.
Benefit 6 - Financials from the Ground Up
You will need financial projections to support your business plan writing narrative. I build them the same way I write the narrative...from the ground up!
I don’t cut corners by using preset spreadsheets to force-fit your Pro-forma details. It all begins with a discussion. And results in 100% tailor-made income and cash-flow statements and balance sheets.
Benefit 7 - Over-the-Shoulder Client Controls
Witness your business plan's written narrative and financial spreadsheet work as it progresses...like you are looking over my shoulder.
We use the shared document features of Google Docs and Google Sheets. And you have the authorization to comment and edit as the documents take shape. All in real-time with me or any other time you like, 24/7. Version control is also automatic...nothing gets lost in the cloud.
Benefit 8 - Ongoing Support
I won't abandon you once your business plan writing is complete and investor-ready.
Go ahead, pitch your plan to secure business capital. I am always ready for a call or in-person discussion to help prepare or debrief (no added fee). I’m invested in your results too.
Also, I am an experienced business performance coach. It is common for me to continue working with my business plan clients, throughout their business startup, and beyond.

WHAT DOES THE
DEFINITIVE
BUSINESS PLAN
LOOK LIKE?
I get a lot of questions about the proper business plan contents and the number of pages. Opinions range from a simple one-page business plan to a few dozens pages. The section names and contents vary considerably as well.
I believe it’s best to get unbiased input on this question from a well-recognized authority.
I went to the U.S. Small Business Association. The agency that provides advice and funding to the 30+ million small businesses there.
They produced a comprehensive 4-page guide SBA RECOMMENDED BUSINESS PLANS & LENGTH and here are the high-level section suggestions.
I very generally follow their recommendations, but with a lot of flexibility to accommodate my client’s needs.
Part 1: INTRODUCTION
-
High quality presentation binder containing the plan pages
-
An Attention-Grabbing Cover Page (1 page)
-
An Enticing Executive Summary (1 to 2 pages)
-
Table of Contents (1 page)
-
Use page numbers and dividers to navigate easily through the plan.
(3 to 5 pages)
Part 2: MARKET ANALYSIS
-
Here you clearly demonstrate your knowledge about your specific market/industry.
(9 to 22 pages)
Part 3: COMPANY DESCRIPTION
-
An overview of the primary elements of your business and how they mesh together.
-
Include details regarding your business type and the contributing elements that ensure your business is successful.
(1 to 2 pages)
Part 4: ORGANIZATION &
MANAGEMENT
-
Add your firm’s organizational chart, company ownership, bios of your management team, and meaningful facts about the board of directors.
(3 to 5 pages)
Part 5: MARKETING & SALES STRATEGY
-
Define your marketing approach.
-
There is no single direction; your own strategy is part of your unfolding company planning process and unique to your company.
(4 to 6 pages)
Part 6: PRODUCT & SERVICE STRATEGY
-
Define your service or product, emphasizing the benefits to potential and current customers.
-
Focus on the areas where you have a distinct advantage. Identify the problem in your target market for which your service or product provides a solution.
(4 to 10 pages)
Part 7: EQUITY INVESTMENT & FUNDING REQUEST
-
Identify the amount of capital you plan to or have already invested in the business.
-
Identify the precise amount of investment you will need to startup and run for a period. Tie it specifically to the Financial Projections.
(2 to 4 pages)
Part 8: FINANCIAL DETAILS
-
Develop these details after you know the industry and set financial objectives. Now you are able to set out resources capably.
-
This is by some measure the most important section and worthy of an added review by your accountant. Your accountant is also welcome to participate in the financial model development.
(12 to 25 pages)
Hiring Your
Business Plan Consultant
When you set out to hire your business plan consultant/writer it will likely be your first time. Here are some very important considerations. This list will save you from getting the wrong writer for your needs.
Never Completely Turn Over Your Business Plan to a Writer
It’s never a good idea to just turn over the writing of your business plan to a business plan expert like me. Yes, I have the great skills and experience to deliver an impressive business plan for you. But, your own business founder contributions are a core ingredient. When the business plan writing ends without quality input from a founder, it always shows.
'You' Are A Core Ingredient
I'm excited about business plans. But, investors and lenders don’t contemplate a business plan as a stand-alone document. First, they want to know the people behind it and how they discuss their business ideas. If they are interested in you, then they’ll spend time diving into your business plan details.
So, choose the best business plan writer for your needs. But be prepared to contribute critical details. Begin collaborating in the first writer/client meeting and throughout the entire writing process.
Qualities of A Good Business Writing Service
Choosing the best business plan expert service for you is challenging. They range from expensive large multi-location, multi-staff providers, all the way down to hourly freelance writers on cheap platforms like Fivver.
Here are a few questions you can ask any writer you are considering:
Are They Local to My Market?
A writer situated hundreds or thousands of kilometers away may be skillful, but may not be familiar with your local or regional market conditions.
Are They Dedicated/Exclusive to Me?
Do you get full priority over other clients? Or are you one of many? Will they be the only professional working on the plan or do many hands in the firm handle it?
How Much Business Writing Experience Do They Have?
This can be measured in terms of years spent writing and doing related professional work. It can also be measured by geographic diversity (local and international) and multiple market niche varieties.
Is There Service Fully Customized?
Ask if they use any standard business plan template applications or existing plans for reference. Good writers start with a blank page and build an excellent plan with wholly fresh information.
What About Their Fees?
Are their services pre-packaged with set fees, or are their fees based on a good assessment of your needs and a customized scope-of-work to meet them? And a well-articulated proposal?
Don’t be swayed by published fees for writing, great business plan writing is not a commodity. Educate yourself about the details. Be rigorous in your evaluation of the features/benefits you get for the price.
Multiple Revisions?
Are you comfortable with the writer's collaboration and review specifications and their included number of business plan narrative and financial model revisions?
Speed of Delivery?
Can they meet your deadline requirements, even if it's just a few days? Are there added fees for meeting tight deadlines?
Follow-Up Service?
Are you on your own once the business plan is done? Or, does your business plan writer take an interest in being involved and offering support during your investor pitching process?
