I truly believe every business needs a business plan. It should be second only to having a business idea and in theory, should be way ahead of having a business location, inventory or staff. It's difficult to find someone who would argue against this textbook view. Reality is far different however. Business plans are difficult to write yet it is a mission critical endeavor. For most entrepreneurs writing a business plan is slightly less painful than a root canal. Yet, most businesses that succeed have one and most that fail do not. Granted the business plan is not the only reason for success or failure but it is a very important variable. If there is another truth about small businesses it is this- they are chronically undercapitalized. All too frequently they are financed with credit cards or other high interest debt. Their ability to quantify the amount of market rate debt they need and can afford is also a mission critical hurdle. Northwest Business Plans provides a solution to these two problems, which is not found elsewhere in the market- a business plan that results in successful financing. After your business plan is financed, I can continue to help you by serving as a "virtual CFO" on an hourly basis. Currently I am assisting clients with their accounting systems, financial reports, inventory control systems and staff meetings. I can also assist you in writing grants and other proposals. ManagementI am a highly qualified, back-room manager. I have seen so many different accounting departments, computer rooms and personnel offices I can evaluate them accurately and quickly. Bringing this business sense to the table is one of the management skills that distinguishes Northwest Business Plans from the competition. In the ten years I have been doing business in Portland, I have met many fine professionals in different industries. I am able to introduce my clients this network of experienced professionals to help solve business problems as they arise. A partial list of clients includes:
