Business Plan Writing
Small Business Development Counseling
Whether you need money to start a new business or expand a current one, you may need to submit a business plan to the SBA (Small Business Administration) or a financial institution, or for a grant proposal.
Kathleen McNamara, CPA has experience in writing business plans for for-profit entities as well as for nonprofit entities.
A business plan is a document which explains many aspects of your business. It covers topics such as: what goods or services your business provides; how those goods or services are delivered; your target market; and a 3-year projected financial statement with cash flow reports showing how your business will generate enough revenue to grow and pay back the lender.
You come up with an idea and we will help you write the business plan in a presentation style which has been proven acceptable by both the bank and SBA.
Writing a business plan gives you the opportunity to think about your business from many different angles such as break-even point; how the internal processes flow; how many employees you will need at different times in your business' life-cycle; how the money flows in and out of your business; and how and which laws affect your business.
Kathleen McNamara, CPA can help you decide which type of business model is best for your business (i.e. sole proprietor, corporation, partnership, LLC, LLP, or non-profit organization) and can assist with the Articles of Incorporation and obtaining a federal tax ID.
