The Startup Source realizes that the needs of each of our customers are unique and tailors its services to each customer. Business plans are not only the reasons for a business to exist but also are the blueprints for how they operate for growth and profit. Specific justifications (marketing research) create the underlying information of the needs of the customer by which a new or existing business can move forward. Marketing and operational plans spell out how the business will be carried out. Finally the sales forecast and financial analyses demonstrate the most objective justification for making a business an invest-able opportunity for either bankers or other outside investors. Business plans can be used for internal uses - operational grade (actionable and brief) or for external uses - investment grade (detailed and intended for investment community in complete written form).

The Startup Source creates business plans that answer three basic issues:

  1. Why the business exists – The Startup Source business plan will highlight specifically and uniquely what our customers’ products or services bring to the market. The industry and market research, competitive research and core competencies of our customers’ companies that dictate the specific niche that our customers’ offerings will take.
  2. How it operates – The execution of the plan shows the operational and market strategy that will be used to take advantage of the market opportunity.
  3. How does the business payoff – The financial analysis provides specific detail as to how the whole plan sums up to meeting financial goals. The Startup Source, in cooperation with our customer, provides the diligence of assumptions, performs the financial analysis and provides results summary that is appropriate for the specific type of investors in our customers’ business.
