Entrepreneurial Consulting

As more and more women are starting their own businesses, there is a growing need for planning and presentation guidance.  A business plan is an essential tool that details the strategy with which you will make your vision a reality.  The strategic business plan communicates both externally to investors and internally to management, and is a critical force in creating focus and accountability.  It is also a must if you are looking to raise capital.

Writing an effective, comprehensive business plan can be challenging as well as time consuming – even for experienced entrepreneurs. 
If you are a typical entrepreneur, you are too busy focusing on the nuts and bolts of building your business, building your customer base and refining your product etc.  That’s where I can help.  I can work with you to develop a plan that meets your overall needs and budget.  I can support you in the following ways:

Business Plan Development:  I can help you by conducting research on your market, as well as your competition, and develop a business plan that clearly articulates a compelling business opportunity.  If you are on a more limited budget, and have already completed the research, I can help guide and prioritize your efforts as well as critique, edit, and format your business plan drafts.

Business Plan Presentations:  I can help you design and create clear, crisp presentations that are crucial when trying to obtain funding.  I can also coach you on how to deliver your pitch to investors in a way that gets them excited about the opportunity that you are presenting as well as your ability to make it happen.

Financial Modeling:  Do you need help with your financial projections?  Projections are a tool for you to use in your business planning process as well as a must see for investors.  They are a critical component of your business plan and should help the investor understand the different income streams, the cost structure and resultant profit margins.  I know that it can be tough to predict your business’s financial performance several years down the road,  but investors want to see this.  I can help you create financial projections for your start-up business plan which will help potential investors understand how the basic business model works.
