Business Plans
We have been working with startup companies for nearly 20 years. When our founder, Dan Blacharski, was working in Silicon Valley during the dotcom boom, he worked with many of these dynamic startups, and had a rare opportunity to see first-hand what works, what doesn't, and what shouldn't. His work as an industry analyst for a major market research organization also gives Ugly Dog Media a deep understanding of multiple marketplaces, and the ability to conduct solid research--and to truly get to know your industry. When you need a business plan, you need someone on your side who has been on the inside--someone who has been involved with startups from the very beginning and watched them grow.
...A business plan is more than just charts and bullet lists. It must capture the attention of your audience, serving both as a strategic business document, and as a marketing document. ... |
Despite the proliferation of boilerplate templates that exist on the Internet, a business plan is a very personal and customized document. The stakes are high, and your business plan calls for more than just a fill-in-the-blank approach. Our process starts with a phone call and initial consultation, which lets us spend some one-on-one time gaining knowledge about your company and your goals. Many amateur business plan writers will simply rqeuest a written list of requirements, or ask you to complete a Q&A by mail, but this is often inadequate, and seldom allows the writer to get to the heart of the business proposition. Unlike many of these providers, we do not use simplistic templates. Instead, we approach each project individually and give each one the personalized attention it deserves. Throughout the creation process, we remain available by phone or email.
Another common mistake made by many business plan writers is to treat the business plan as if it were simply a straightforward business document, with "just the facts." In reality, successful business plans go beyond bullet lists and charts. A business plan is part marketing document, and it must capture the attention of your audience and build excitement. For a business plan that captures your proposition, presents a solid understanding of the marketplace, and gets the attention of your audience, email us today.
