Is Outsourcing Business Plan Writing a Good Practice for Small Businesses?

Jul 2018Jan 2021

As a small business owner, you’ve likely read or heard that you need to always have a detailed business plan in place to guide your company. That is true – a business plan helps you think ahead to where your business is going, how you’ll get there, and what you should focus on. Starting a business without a clear business plan can often lead to disastrous results or, at best, an unclear plan for the future.

So Why Should You Outsource Your Business Plans?

If you’re like most entrepreneurs who are starting a small business, you’ve never written a business plan before. You may have never read one or looked at what goes into one, either. This means that if you plan on writing your own plan, you’re going to have to do some research. Then you’ve got to actually sit down and write out your business plan.

Outsourcing the actual writing of the business plan to someone else has a number of benefits:
  • It saves you a lot of time, both in research and in writing.
  • You’re free to focus on other parts of your startup
  • You know a professional will have the writing skills needed to draft a comprehensive, well-written plan.

When you hire a professional to work on your business plan, you do still have to do a little bit of work. Your writer will need all of the information about your business, what your goals are, and what you’re offering to your customers.

Finding Your Outsourcing Partner

Of course, you don’t want just anyone writing your business plan. You’ll want to look for a qualified individual. You’ll want to look for someone who is familiar with small businesses. Someone with an MBA or other related degree is a very good fit. Also, ask to see writing samples so you can get an idea of how your business plan will read. Contact us today to schedule a FREE consultation.
