Business Planner and Startup Consultant

Hello. Congratulations on your business! My name is Ryan Powell, and I specialize in reviewing and developing business plans for startups and expansion/growth analyses for established companies. With over 255 business plans written for presentation to investors, and growth analyses for various types of loans, merger negotiations, and investor presentations, I am well-equipped to help companies achieve success. I have experience working with various industries, including construction, tech, social media, video production, automotive, food and beverage, real estate, and hospitality. My MBA and IT background, my certificate in Executive Leadership Coaching, and my experience as a Senior Advisor to a Cyber Enterprise within the Department of Defense have provided me with a wealth of knowledge and skills I can apply to any industry. In addition to my practical experience, I have written 15 business plans and five award-winning investor pitch decks as part of my MBA coursework. I also have over 14 years of experience in the Information Technology field and hold Bachelor of Science degrees in IT Security and Software Development. I utilize proprietary software to develop my business and marketing plans, including financial projection calculations and infographic development. I estimate a total of 10 to 25 working hours to complete most startup and established company business plans, including 1-2 hours in phone conferences, 1-2 hours reviewing and analyzing any notes and existing business plans, 5 hours in competitive market research, and 1-2 hours editing and finalizing the product. These hours may vary depending on the amount of market research conducted by your team. I am open to negotiation on rates or project caps. I am willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to ensure complete transparency so that my work can meet your needs. I want to schedule a call to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit. I look forward to learning more about your business and helping your company get off to the perfect start. Thank you for considering my services! Very Respectfully, Ryan Powell, MBA-ITM, CLC

"Great communication. Extended a refund when he needed more time on the project. Made changes when suggested. Made meaningful suggestions about the business plan when needed. Created much needed content that I would never have input in the business plan for my lack of knowledge. Very knowledgeable in business plan development."
