1. With so much guidance out there why should I pay someone else to do my business plan? Yes it's true you can probably create an "adequate" business plan, however, most entrepreneurs do not have the ability to be totally objective when evaluating their business. An outside consultant can be totally objective and bring to your business plan the professional insight that comes from his/her extensive knowledge and experience. 2. Will having SBDS Associates do my business plan take much of my personal time? It depends. If you or your partners have done any prior work useful towards writing a business plan such as financial projections, a written business summary or other written work, then the process will take a minimal amount of time. The consultant will get the bulk of the information needed in a series of interviews and/or visits. The rest of the information needed will be obtained from the resources available to SBDS Associates. 3. Do you offer any package deals and how much are they? We do offer some "Consulting/Business Plan Packages". The price depends on how large you want your business plan to be and on what industry/business area you are.
