๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Top 1% on Upwork | Former SBA Underwriter & Loan Broker | 10+ Years | 150+ Projects on Upwork only ๐Ÿš€ I build lender-ready business plans and financial models that actually get deals approved, from SBA and USDA loans to investor funding and immigration visas. As a former SBA underwriter and active loan broker, I know exactly what lenders look for and I design every plan and model to meet real underwriting standards. What I do ๐Ÿ“Œ SBA-compliant business plans (7(a), 504, microloans), investor-ready plans, franchise, landlord, export, strategic, continuity, and immigration plans (E-2, L-1A, EB2-NIW, EB-5, H-1B, O-1) ๐Ÿ“Š Full 5-year financial projections, 3-statement models, investor-ready financial models with cap tables, and SBA acquisition models for business purchases ๐Ÿงฎ Feasibility studies and business plans for SBA and USDA Business & Industry loans, including financial projections, market analysis, and economic impact assessments ๐Ÿ’ผ Buyer-side financial analysis, business valuations, Quality of Earnings reports and reviews, seller add-back and earnings review, cash flow and DSCR/debt service analysis, and post-close forecasting ๐Ÿ“ฃ Pitch decks, executive summaries, CIM/OMs, investor teasers, and consulting for SBA loan readiness and funding strategy My work is designed to be clear, defensible, and easy for lenders, investors, and management teams to follow, with rush delivery (including 72-hour options) available when timelines are tight. Why clients work with me Most business plan writers and modelers guess what lenders and investors want; I work with them daily and build your package around real SBA, USDA, and private lending standards. I focus on decision-grade analysis, realistic and defensible assumptions, and clean Excel models that support acquisition planning, financing strategy, and ongoing management. Funding and approval outcomes My work has supported SBA 7(a) loans from 350K to 5M+, USDA Business & Industry loan approvals, investor raises including a recent 5MM SaaS deal, and multiple immigration visa approvals. Examples include a 600K SBA 7(a) loan for a deli, a 1MM+ SBA loan for a pickleball franchise, and a 4MM USDA-backed storage facility loan, along with numerous lender-ready and investor-ready packages from day one. If you need a business plan, financial model, feasibility study, or acquisition analysis that can stand up to lender and investor scrutiny and move your deal toward approval, message me and letโ€™s discuss your project.

Federal Procurement Specialist | Government Bid Writing | SAM.gov ยท SBA ยท GSA ยท FAR Compliance Small businesses leave millions in federal contract opportunities on the table every year not from lack of qualification, but from three fixable gaps: SAM.gov registration errors that trigger automatic disqualification, missing or mismatched SBA certifications that block set-aside eligibility, and proposals written for a general audience instead of the evaluation panel scoring them. I close all three gaps. With experience supporting 40+ businesses across federal, state, and local procurement including SAM.gov registration, 8(a)/WOSB/HUBZone/MBE certification submissions, GSA Multiple Award Schedule onboarding, and full RFP/RFQ proposal development, I bring end-to-end procurement strategy, not just document production. Core Competencies: 1. SAM.gov Registration & Compliance: UEI/CAGE setup, error resolution, NAICS code optimization, and renewal management 2. SBA Set-Aside Certifications : 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone, MBE, DBE โ€” full documentation, financial analysis, and submission management 3. GSA Schedule (MAS) : SIN determination, compliant pricing, Price Reductions Clause (PRC) navigation, eOffer/eMod submission 4. Federal Bid & Proposal Writing: RFP, RFQ, IFB responses structured to FAR evaluation criteria โ€” compliance matrices, technical narratives, past performance, and management plans 5. Capability Statements: NAICS-matched, set-aside aligned, written for contracting officers and prime contractors 6. Procurement Strategy : Sources sought analysis, teaming agreements, sole-source positioning, and long-term contract pipeline planning How I work differently from generic proposal writers: Federal proposals are scored documents. Evaluators follow a rubric and most proposals fail not because the business is unqualified, but because the response wasn't structured to match how points are actually awarded. I build every proposal around the evaluation criteria, compliance matrix, and FAR requirements first. The writing follows the strategy. Ideal engagement: 1. Small and mid-sized businesses pursuing first or repeat federal awards 2. Businesses needing SBA certifications to access set-aside contract vehicles 3. Defense or civilian contractors needing DCAA-aware documentation 4. Foreign-owned entities establishing compliant U.S. contracting presence Key Accomplishments: Supported 40+ businesses through federal, state, and local procurement processes Written 100+ RFP, RFQ, and grant responses across multiple agencies and jurisdictions Registered 30+ nonprofits through IRS 501(c)(3) and supported strategic planning Successfully guided clients through WOSB, MBE, and NMSDC certification approvals To start: Send a brief description of your contracting goal or the solicitation number you're responding to. I'll assess your position and outline exactly what's needed to compete, before we discuss scope.

"If you want to grow as an entrepreneur, youโ€™ve got to learn to delegate." โ€” Richard Branson Weโ€™ve all wished for more hours in a day, more days in a weekโ€”just to tick off everything on our to-do lists and handle all the unexpected tasks that pop up. But time is limited, and trying to do everything ourselves can lead to burnout. Thatโ€™s where I come in. As a Virtual Assistant, I offer the same support as a traditional assistantโ€”only in a more efficient, cost-effective, and tech-savvy way. No need for office space or daily face-to-face check-ins; weโ€™ll connect through upwork message, email, Skype, and other digital tools. Itโ€™s simple, seamless, and convenient. Why hire a Virtual Assistant? a. Do you spend too much time managing your inbox? b. Is updating your blog or social media falling through the cracks? c. Could your time be better spent on growing your business rather than on data entry or research? d. Do you need consistent support with administrative tasks? Are you a busy entrepreneur, startup founder, or online business owner? If you answered yes to even one of these, a Virtual Assistant could be exactly what you need. Iโ€™ve been working as a VA since 2010, supporting startups, non-profits, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and currently, primarily business coaches. Over the years, Iโ€™ve developed a broad skill set, and my typical daily tasks include: a. Managing emails b. Handling social media accounts c. Scheduling blog posts and newsletters d. Messaging and following up with contacts e. Setting appointments and calls f. Data entry and research g. Customer Service h. Image Annotation Let me take these off your plate so you can focus on what truly mattersโ€”growing your business. Your success is always my success! Delivering quality services remotely! Integrity and Transparency at all times! Interested in working together? Feel free to send me a message here on Upwork. Iโ€™d love to discuss how I can support you and your business.

How much does it cost to hire business writers?

Business freelance writers are typically subject matter experts as content writers, business plan writers, and authors that train for hours to hone their understanding of the many aspects of business.

The cost to hire a business freelance writer will vary due to many factors, including years of experience, the scope of work, the project timeline, market conditions, and the freelancerโ€™s location. 

Experience and Expertise

To hire a business freelance writer, itโ€™s important to consider their level of expertise and years of experience. A more seasoned business writer with full-time business plan writing services may charge higher rates around $80 per hour. A newbie business freelance writer may be more competitive and low cost in their price. Rates to hire a beginner business writer tend to start around $30 an hour.

There are multiple services a business freelance writer should be able to offer your small business or startup including copywriting, social media captions, content marketing, and executive summaries. Keep in mind that a business writer with experience in content strategy, SEO, proofreading, or nonprofit content writing could be valuable to your writing needs, but charge a higher fee.

Scope of Work

Before hiring a business freelance writer, you must first define the project scope. The scope of work is a step-by-step outline of the project tasks, the timeline, expertise, word count, and recommended years of experience needed to get the job done.

Are you developing your first business plan? Will you need web content for your businessโ€™s social media? Will you need content writing services on retainer? Be sure to develop a detailed scope of work before hiring a business freelance writer so your expectations are clear.

Timeline 

A beginner business writer with fresher writing skills should be able to put together social media captions, short-word articles, or business template formatting. However, more complex web content with revisions could take a business freelance writer several weeks to complete. If youโ€™re not in a hurry, you can negotiate lower rates with even the most experienced writers. If you are on deadline or need the project completed last minute, you could possibly pay a premium.

Geography

The cost of hiring a writer with a freelance writing business on Upwork can also be affected by their geographic location. Outsourcing your project to new writers in another country with a lower cost of living can help reduce your cost to hire or the ability to negotiate a fixed project rate. However, if you prefer a freelancer that lives in your country or a country with a higher cost of living, you may have to adjust your budget for their time and effort.

Popular business writing projects & costs examples 

Here are a few common business writing projects with freelance rates you can find on Upwork:

RFP/Business Proposal: $100-$300

Proposals can help small businesses or corporate divisions gain funding, sponsorships, or partnerships that can advance their operations. The success of this job will depend on the skill level of the freelance writer and their knowledge of the business or industry.

Business Plan: $250-$500

The cost of creating and developing a business plan could vary depending on the length of the business plan and depth of the business model. Business plans also typically include an executive summary. The success of this job will depend on the skill level of the freelance writer and their knowledge of the business or industry.

Financial/Risk Management Template: $50-$100

The cost of creating and developing templates for businesses to understand their risk is relatively affordable. The success of this job will depend on the skill level of the freelance writer and their knowledge of the business or industry.
