About this gig

I will write an investor-ready startup business plan with rigorous market analysis, clear financials, and a compelling narrative that helps you raise capital and lead with confidence.

What you get

A business plan is only useful if it survives contact with a skeptical investor. I write documents that anticipate the hard questions and answer them before they're asked. Here's what lands in your inbox:

  • A complete, formatted business plan (typically 20-40 pages depending on tier) delivered as an editable file plus a polished PDF. No template stuffed with filler — every section is written specifically for your venture.
  • Executive summary that works as a standalone document. Many investors read only this before deciding to keep going, so I write it last, after the analysis is done, to make sure it reflects the real story.
  • Company and product/service description that explains what you do, the problem you solve, your unique value proposition, and your current stage (idea, MVP, revenue) in plain language.
  • Market analysis grounded in real research: market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), industry trends, growth drivers and headwinds, customer segmentation, and buyer personas. I cite my sources so you and your investors can verify them.
  • Competitive analysis: a landscape of direct and indirect competitors, a positioning map, and an honest assessment of your moat and differentiation. I will not pretend you have "no competition" — investors distrust that.
  • Go-to-market and marketing strategy: acquisition channels, pricing logic, sales motion, and the first 12-18 months of execution priorities.
  • Operations and team section: key roles, org structure, milestones, and what you need to hire or build next.
  • Financial projections: a 3-5 year model with revenue build-up, cost structure, headcount plan, cash flow, P&L, and key assumptions stated explicitly. Delivered as a working spreadsheet you can edit, not a static image.
  • Funding ask and use of funds: how much you're raising, what it buys, and the runway and milestones it unlocks.
  • Risk analysis and mitigation: the failure modes a serious investor will probe, and your answers.
  • Appendix for supporting data, charts, and references.

How it works

  1. You place your order and share what you have. A short brief, any existing notes, decks, spreadsheets, or research. Don't worry if it's messy or incomplete — that's normal at this stage.
  2. We run a discovery questionnaire (and optional call). I send a structured intake covering your model, market, traction, team, and goals. This is where the plan's quality is decided, so I ask precise questions.
  3. I research your market. I gather industry data, size the opportunity, map competitors, and validate your assumptions against real sources.
  4. I build the financial model. Revenue drivers, costs, hiring, and cash flow, all tied to assumptions you can see and challenge.
  5. I write the full draft and send it for your review.
  6. We revise. You mark up the draft; I refine wording, numbers, and emphasis within the revision rounds for your tier.
  7. Final delivery of the editable document, PDF, and spreadsheet, ready to send to investors.

Why choose this

I write to persuade a specific reader: someone deciding whether to wire money into your company. That shapes every choice — what to lead with, what to defend, what to cut. I keep the prose tight and the claims defensible. The financial model is a real, editable spreadsheet with visible assumptions, not a screenshot you can never update. I cite market data so your numbers hold up under scrutiny. And I tell you honestly when a claim is weak, because a plan that oversells gets caught in due diligence and costs you credibility.

Who it's for / use cases

  • First-time founders preparing to raise a pre-seed or seed round and needing a credible document to open conversations.
  • Small business owners applying for a bank loan or SBA-style financing that requires a formal plan.
  • Startups entering accelerators or pitch competitions that mandate a written plan.
  • Solo operators and side-project builders validating whether an idea is worth pursuing before committing capital.
  • Existing companies launching a new product line or entering a new market and needing a standalone business case.
  • Founders seeking grants or government funding programs with structured plan requirements.

FAQ

Q: Is this plan really investor-ready, or just a nice document? It's written for investors specifically. I structure it around the questions VCs, angels, and lenders actually ask, defend the assumptions, and source the market data. That said, no document guarantees funding — your traction and team matter most, and the plan's job is to present them at their strongest.

Q: What do you need from me to start? A completed intake questionnaire and whatever materials you have: notes, a deck, financials, customer data, or prior research. The more context you provide, the sharper the plan. If you're early and have little, the discovery process is built to draw it out of you.

Q: Where do the market numbers come from? From published industry reports, government and trade data, comparable-company benchmarks, and reputable secondary research. I cite sources so the figures are verifiable. I do not invent statistics or inflate a market to look bigger than it is.

Q: Can you guarantee I'll raise money? No, and be wary of anyone who does. I can guarantee a clear, well-researched, honestly argued plan that gives you the best possible footing. Investment decisions depend on factors beyond any document.

Q: Do you build the financial model too? Yes. Standard and Premium include a full editable spreadsheet with revenue build-up, costs, headcount, cash flow, and a P&L driven by stated assumptions. Basic includes a simplified three-year projection.

Q: How many revisions are included? Basic includes one round, Standard two, and Premium three. A round means you collect your feedback and send it back, and I revise across the whole document at once. Larger pivots beyond the original scope can be handled as an add-on.

Q: Will the writing reflect my voice and vision? Yes. I work from your inputs and stay in close contact during revisions. It's your company and your plan — I make it clear, credible, and compelling, but the strategy and vision remain yours.

Q: What if my idea is still early and unproven? That's completely fine and very common. Early-stage plans lean more on market opportunity, problem validation, and a credible execution path than on historical numbers. I'll frame your stage honestly while still making the upside compelling.

    Needed this for a small business loan application and it was exactly what the bank wanted to see. The market analysis cited actual industry data for the food and beverage space, and the cash flow tables were formatted cleanly. Delivered a day ahead of schedule.

    I came in with a messy idea for a D2C skincare brand and got back a genuinely investor-ready plan. The market analysis section had real TAM/SAM/SOM numbers, competitor breakdowns, and a customer segmentation that I hadn't even thought through. Two of the angels I pitched specifically complimented the financials.

    Solid plan for my fintech startup with a thorough competitive landscape and go-to-market section. I had to push for one revision on the revenue assumptions because the initial CAC felt optimistic, but they updated it quickly and explained the reasoning. Communication was responsive throughout.

    Fast turnaround and the deck-ready summary at the front made it easy to walk a VC through it. The financial projections were the standout part for my SaaS plan.

    Good, detailed business plan for my logistics venture. The writing was professional and the SWOT and TAM sections were strong, though I wished the appendix had a bit more depth on the operational model. Still, well worth it and they answered all my questions along the way.
