Executive Summaries

There are two types of Executive Summaries. One to summarize your business plan in 2-3 pages. The other which serves more as a mini-business plan and can be 5-7 pages in length. Understanding how to write and use each to your business advantage is critical when raising funds, attracting new business relationships, trying to seal a deal with a new supplier partner, presenting an opportunity to a prospective joint venture partner, among many other important uses. However, equally important is having a good business plan in place to run a successful business, and the executive summary is that quick look document that adeptly summarizes that success business plan and helps keep you and your key personnel on track for ultimate business success.

Business Plans

Business Plans and Business Planning is the core of our business consulting company. We know from experience why a business plan is so important to a company's success. Frank Goley, the ABC Chief Business Consultant, wrote his first business, marketing and strategic plans while in college as internships for various small businesses. Very quickly Frank came to understand how important the business planning process is to a company, and why a business plan can be a fantastic roadmap to business success, when there are so many crucial decisions to be made and obstables to overcome by an entrepreneur and business owner along the journey of a company's growth. Frank has developed his experienced knowledge of business planning and running successful companies into a duplicatable business plan and success process which he uses to work one on one with clients to produce the very best business plan for a particular company's goals. This process has been tried and refined for a twenty year period-- it works! In fact, Frank has a book coming out on business planning. ABC also develops Funding Business Plans (i.e. Angel Investor Plan, Lender Plan, Venture Capital Plan) and Specialized Business Plans, along with other types of Finance Plans and Packages to meet specific objectives and budgets.

Marketing Plans

A Marketing Plan is essential to a company's growth and success. The ability to define profitable market niches with in specific market segments, understanding how you will compete successfully for that business, putting together and testing targeted marketing programs, promotions and strategies, and having it all in a marketing strategy that meets your company's budget constaints, can be a daunting task. A good marketing plan sets up the success of a company's sales, and gives its sales department and people the tools and opportunities to "make it happen". Quit guessing how to market and who to sell to. By employing the use of a good marketing plan process you will find the very best avenues to pursue for your company's success, while minimizing your learning curve and costly marketing mistakes.

Strategic and Sales Plans

Strategic Plans and strategic planning are the heart of a company's success. Why? A strategic plan puts into action a well thought out and thoroughly tested companywide strategy for success. It is the heart of a company's success because it is an ACTION plan. The Strategic Plan puts into motion what a business wants to accomplish, provides analysis of the risks, threats and opportunities, along with the company's strengths and weaknesses. Post-analysis, the business can set realistic milestones toward achieving the goals of the strategic plan--action steps toward realization of the strategic plan and the company's ultimate success. Another component of the strategic plan is the Sales Plan. The sales plan lays out how the company's sales person, people or department will accomplish the goals set out in the strategic plan, providing meaningful milestones to measure success and problems in reaching those sales goals. The strategic plan also provides the basis for constructing realistic financial projections so a company can adequately and in real time track progress or the lack thereof. The strategic plan is the link in a company's business plan that converts the marketing plan's goals into actionable strategies which translate into realistic financial projections and models which provide useful tracking information on a company's journey toward planned success. You can say that a strategic plan is the success link and key in a company's operations.

Business Turn-Around Plans

Sometimes businesses get in trouble and have a hard time finding their way out toward stabilization and success again. An experienced business consultant or turnaround specialist can come in to a tough situation, consult with a company's executive team, directors, advisors, management and employees to determine a course of action and a turnaround plan to breath healthy life back into a company again. Frank Goley, the ABC Chief Business Consultant, has over twenty years experience helping companies succeed and running successful companies. He truly enjoys the challenge presented in a turnaround situation and determining the best courses of action for a successful company turnaround. A business turnaround plan is a companywide initiative, and the turnaround specialist will bring on board a process to determine what is broke and specifically how to fix it. The turnaround specialist is a business consultant who should have ample experience in tough business situations in a wide range of industries to be ultimately succesful in developing and implementing a successful turnaround plan.

Investment Overviews

The Investment Overview is used in conjunction with your Executive Summary to solicit interest from an Investor or Venture Capital Firm about your Business Opportunity and give the Investor the necessary facts about your opportunity so it can be quickly qualified and vetted. The Venture Capital Process can be lengthy, but by providing the right documentation (already prepared prior to your Funding Initiative) from the beginning, you will significantly shorten the Venture Capital process and receive the attention your deal deserves. The Investment Overview should accompany your Executive Summary so the Investment Group can gather the right information about your Company, Product, People, Opportunity and Competitive Edge. Frank Goley, the ABC Chief Business Consultant, has an extensive private equity background and has developed an Investor Overview process and format which can successfully help you retain funding. An investor sees hundreds of deals in a month so you need to present an Investor Overview that attracts and retains attention.

Loan Packaging

Frank Goley, the ABC Chief Business Consultant, has a long history of working in the business finance industry, and he knows the absolute necessity of a good Loan Package when a business is targeting bank and commercial finance, or even private equity finance as well. A well prepared and presented Loan Package can be the difference between successful funding and not--the difference between good finance terms and expensive terms.
