My background is primarily in business plan writing, however, I also do pitch decks, marketing work, and have served as the project lead on a Regulation-CF Equity Crowdfund and have gained tremendous experience in running these projects.
I have written over 300 business plans for satisfied clients in fields that include Energy, Construction, Marketing, Mobile Apps, Technology Products, and more. Typically, I can turn around a first draft of a business plan in three weeks or less, assuming that we are in lockstep with our communication! I offer plans ranging from fairly basic plans that are about 20 pages in length and made in Microsoft Word to putting together visually impactful and professionally designed plans using Adobe InDesign which, when trying to raise capital from investors, can really highlight the professionalism of your business and attention to detail.
I have been responsible for the development and growth of a number of businesses and managed projects within these businesses. I have produced financial models and business plans that assisted in securing investments of more than $1M in seed money for small businesses showing little to no revenue. I have managed projects of for start-up companies, political campaigns/fundraisers, educational consultancies and technology companies. I have consulted with businesses in developing alternate revenue sources and strategically planning pivots in business models.
I also produce market feasibility studies for companies, performing in-depth research into a local market, and evaluating the company's overall ability to perform successfully in that market. These studies are typically longer in length and more detailed in scope than a business plan. That said, the synergism between both a comprehensive business plan and a market feasibility study cannot be understated.
In terms of crowdfunding work, I have run a Regulation-CF Equity Crowdfund and am familiar with the Reg-A+ Crowdfund as well. I am currently involved in launching other crowdfunding campaigns as well for clients. I have legal resources to deploy in connection with these crowdfunds, but primarily am involved in the marketing and running of campaigns.
I'm happy to chat with you over Upwork's communications platform and am eager to work on many different types of projects of varying complexity.
