What our clients say about us.
THANKS FROM CUSTOMERS
Matt and his team delivered what was expected. A professional looking plan that ultimately allowed us to obtain the funding we were seeking. Thank you
Matthew and his team have come though for me more than once, delivering business plans of far greater quality than anyone I have used in the past. As an entrepreneur, these plans have been instrumental in gaining the trust and financial investment needed to grow my businesses. I highly recommend The Plan Writers
I have an MBA but come more from the marketing side and needed some help putting together the financial worksheet for my business plan. Matt was great at quickl y cutting to the core needs for my purpose and helped me to get focused and clear on what the scope should be at this juncture. I appreciated his ability to bring the perspective of someone who has seen many plans and not let me over-complicate it too soon. He was very clear with me on what expectations were reasonable for our agreement and made sure that we were on the same page about that. We also had a followup call where we talked through everything, he answered my questions, and made a few adjustments to better refine things once I was able to look it all through and understand better how various parts related to my end goal. Although it was an investment financially I feel it is ultimately less expensive in the early stages to work with someone (Plan Writers) who can fill in the gaps and help you get past your personal hurdles before investing in expanding your team.
I hired Plan Writers to write my business plan. Matthew was efficient and pleasant to work with he assigned me to my writer his name is Alex Durig. Alex is noth ing short of amazing he has consistently been a god send to me an actual life coach (in my head) no matter how many questions I have he always answers and has helped above and beyond. With Plan Writers you do not only hire a client but you build solid relationships with resources beyond your imagination I will refer them to anyone. Thank you guys for your support and helping me get to the next level in my life.
Matthew from Plan Writers gave me a review of my business plan/pitch deck and gave me great feed back. He was very thorough with his assessment and helped a gre at deal. I would highly recommend their services. I am reaching out again to follow up for more help and to potentially have Plan Writers rework my whole plan!
Really bright group of people. They took our input and drafted an excellent strategic internal plan for our gaming company. Matt is a cool guy, easy to work wit h, gives solid advice. 10/10
I wish there were more stars I can give this company. First off let me start by saying I researched a lot of business plan writing companies and from the beginning this one stood out by their kind and warm demeanor and just how much they offered to help new business owners. From the beginning I was told that they can help me with all the numbers because I was not knowledgeable about any of it. I had a vision in my head and I had no idea how to put it to paper. From the first consultation call they assured me that they would be able to do this for me. They went above and beyond my expectations. I was so blessed and I am so grateful to have gotten the writer Nelly! During the intake phone call I was driving on my way to the airport speaking very quickly and she got every detail down and put it into the plan perfectly and beautifully!!!! Anytime I had any questions she was always available and happy to help!!!!!!!! I cannot stress enough how much this company and my writer have been a God sent! When I got the first draft I was blown away how beautiful and professional it was but then I was notified that it still had to be sent to the graphic designer! I was satisfied at that point! But when I got it back from the graphic designer I literally cried!!! My business plan is beyond beautiful, it's so professional I cannot believe what a great job this company does!!! It is worth 100% every single dollar spent!!!!! Not to mention the turnaround time is unbelievable!!! Thank you thank you so much to The Plan Writers, I am so grateful for all your hard work and how awesome the whole company is from the sales person, customer service, to my writer and the graphic designer!!!!!! Top quality service and end product!!!!
I just got off the phone and some of the most helpful yet accessible Writers. Matt was exceptional through all of my questions, I was asking every question needed and he directed me in the right path. I would definitely recommend this service for all needing a business plan, they educate and uphold your standard.
After a few months of working to start my first dental practice, I needed some guidance when it came to the financial side of things. I have zero background in business and I was referred to Matt Khalili for help. He provided me with a high quality business plan and set me up to start the practice correctly. Matt took his time to give me any explanations I needed and was willing to answer any of my concerns. Although it was a little pricey, Plan Writers left me with an amazing business plan that I was proud to show my potential investors. I highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking for guidance to start their new business!

The best and most professional business and resume writers I've met! Matt and Kerry was very responsive, professional and knowledgeable. They helped me to create a business plan for my food business and also working on my resume. Matt and Kerry helped me personally and they made my plan and resume very successful. Their opinions, suggestions and advices made everything way better than expected!The best you can get.
Excellent and detailed business plan. This helped our company get financing. Would definitely use them again.
Jacob and his team exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Plan Writers for any business starting out who's trying to define their roadmap to success, or a well established one that's looking to reinvent themselves and anything in between.
I worked with this company to produce my business plan to secure funding. If your looking for a reputable and knowledgeable company to write your plan, look no further. I was hesitant and scared about the whole process at first, I considered cheaper options and even doing it myself. I was unsure of the professionalism and customer service of this company. After reading through the reviews I decided to give them a shot. Well, I made the right decision. From the start to the end it was a completely professional experience. I genuinely feel the dedication, value, and final product delivered; matched or exceeded what I paid for. I want to give a special shoutout to my actual plan writer, Alex Durig. He showed exemplary, enthusiasm, research, knowledge, and dedication to my plan. I am truly happy with this company and Alex. I am now confident I have the backing of a professional plan to move forward with seeking funding. Do not make it yourself or pay a different company. This is the spot. Work with this company and your plan is taken care of. I also want to mention that I still have the feeling, and know, that this company and Alex are still available to me for a range of things that could further assist me in my endeavor; a huge amount of them at no additional charge. From the final product, to the customer service, to their continued contact with me, I am truly happy I chose this company. - Tristan, Owner of Kloud9Kava. Check my website! kloud9kava.store
I cannot speak more highly of The Plan Writers. They have an outstanding, well thought out process, that produces a direct result and level of accuracy I have never experienced with any business planning firm previously.
David at Plan Writers made it possible to meet our deadline for the business plan that we needed for my siblings E2 visa application, he was very accommodating considering the tight deadline that was given to their team. Sanya put our business plan together and she's phenomenal! Very knowledgeable with the E2 requirements for the business plan, she's very patient, detail-oriented and just great to work with! She made the whole process seem so easy and enjoyable despite of the time crunch. The graphics that Irina did is amazing and Henry is very helpful in the overall coordination of this project. It's a well-put together business plan that got my siblings approved for their E2 visa. I highly recommend this team if you want to succeed in your application, such an enjoyable experience working with this team!
Working with Alex was a absolute pleasure and a game-changer for my business plan. His expertise, encouragement, and unwavering patience were instrumental in shaping my vision into a comprehensive plan. Alex's dedication to my project was evident in his responsiveness; he consistently answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way. Not only did Alex provide invaluable assistance with writing and number crunching for my business plan, but he also served as a remarkable mentor throughout the process. His guidance helped me navigate complexities with ease, instilling confidence and excitement in bringing my vision to life. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional support in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Thank you, Alex for your outstanding service!
My business mentor recommended Plan Writers, so happy he did. The initial meeting with Matthew was very professional and informative. I was sold. Alex D. really knocked it out the park, provided me with invaluable advice and feedback. He worked with me and kept things realistic. I highly recommend the Plan Writers for your business needs.
Outstanding, fast, and thorough work on a robust business plan to launch a new practice in an existing consultancy. Grateful for the great service and collaboration, not to mention smart amd professional writers. Strongly recommend!
Working with Plan writers has been such a great experience! They are so talented in writing successful business plans that are easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing. Perfectly designed to be presented Next time I need business services I will work with Plan writers again!
I worked with The Plan Writers to develop multiple business plans, and I was blown away by their service. The team was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive, and they delivered meticulously crafted plans that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend The Plan Writers to anyone looking for professional business planning services. Their patience, care, and expertise will help you take your business to the next level.
I definitely recommend planwriters services. Not only did Matt Khalili, the CEO, provide personal guidance throughout my project, but his expertise played a pivotal role in realizing my objectives. Great experience working with them!!
This is the company to go with for your business plans and ask for Amy Casil. I was on a very strict timeline, and gave her short notice (5 days) but she was still able to get it done and wrote me a plan that had my application approved by the state. Reasonably priced compared to other companies, and worth every penny. Thank you AMY!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Business plan writing services and consulting for hire, will you review my plan and make changes.
Our review-only service just includes feedback, but if you decide you'd like to engage in our full professional business plan writing services after participating in a review, we'll give you a discount.
What if I already started writing my plan?
If you have a partially completed plan, we can work with that. In fact, it helps the plan writing process go faster because we'll have to ask fewer questions, but you'll want to choose the full business plan writing service.
Do you do market research? What does that include?
Yes, we do market research. We have access to industry reports for most industries and our business plan writers will use them to lend more credibility to your plan and validate the assumptions we are making in your financials.
What is included with the full business plan writing service?
When it's all said and done, you'll have a full, lender or investor ready business plan, a one page pitch, and a free year of LivePlan so you can make changes to your plan as well as use our cash flow and business management tools to stay on track.
Can you guarantee that my business will get funded?
There are a lot of factors that go into the decision making process for lending that are beyond our control, like your personal credit. What we can say is that it is very difficult to get funding without a solid business plan and we make solid plans with our professional business plan writing services.
Will you share my information?
We take your privacy very seriously and will not share your information.

Expert Business Plan Writers and Consultants
Who writes my business plan.
You will be paired with one dedicated individual from our small team of highly trained and experienced business planning professionals. Each one is a uniquely qualified business planning expert who can translate your ideas into a business plan that will appeal to your audience.
Is my business plan writer an expert in my industry?
Our business plan writers are experts specifically in business plan writing. We've worked with every industry imaginable so the likelihood that they have some familiarity with your industry is high, but if you are looking for a business consultant this may not be a good fit.
What kind of background will my business plan writer have? Are they outsourced from other countries? Have they been writing business plans for very long?
We are a small team of well educated business planning experts. Each writer's background varies but they all have financial or business education as well as years, small business management or consulting and business plan writing experience. They are all well vetted and really good at what they do, which is write plans that help you get funded.
Small Business Definitions
What is a business plan.
In its simplest form, a business plan is a guide —a roadmap for your business that outlines goals and details how you plan to achieve those goals. At its heart, a business plan is just a plan for how your business is going to work, and how you're going to make it succeed.
What is in a business plan?
To write a detailed business plan you need to include the following sections:
The executive summary is an overview of your business and your plans. It comes first in your plan and is ideally only one to two pages. Most people write it last, though.
The opportunity section answers these questions: What are you actually selling and how are you solving a problem (or "need") for your market? Who is your target market and competition?
In the execution chapter of your business plan, you'll answer the question: how are you going to take your opportunity and turn it into a business? This section will cover your marketing and sales plan, operations, and your milestones and metrics for success.
Investors look for great teams in addition to great ideas. Use the company and management chapter to describe your current team and who you need to hire. You will also provide a quick overview of your legal structure, location, and history if you're already up and running.
Your business plan isn't complete without a financial forecast . We'll tell you what to include in your financial plan, but you'll definitely want to start with a sales forecast, cash flow statement, income statement (also called profit and loss), and your balance sheet.
If you need more space for product images or additional information, use the appendix for those details.
Why is a business plan important?
There are many reasons why it is important to have a business plan . A business plan is essential if you're seeking a loan or investment, can help you make big spending decisions with confidence and is a solid foundation for ongoing strategic planning and prioritization.
What is a business plan writer/consultant?
A business plan writer/consultant is a business and financial expert who can help guide you through the process of creating a business plan and do much of the labor involved in creating it. They will work with you to understand your business model, do market research, create financial projections and offer guidance as all of those pieces are brought together in a full business plan document.
How to pick a business plan writer/consultant?
Picking a business plan writer or business plan consultant is an important decision — you'll want to find someone dedicated to your success, with experience in your industry or field and that is in it for the long haul.
Why should you pay someone to write your business plan?
You don't have time. Starting a business is time consuming. Oftentimes people have to juggle a regular 9-5 job while working on starting their business. That doesn't leave a lot of time for a big writing project. Hiring a professional business plan writer can help you give you time to focus on the tasks that are critical to getting your business off the ground.
You want to make sure it is done right, the first time. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Hiring a professional to write your business plan for you can give you the peace of mind that your plan is the best it can be when you present it to potential lenders or investors.

What is a Business Plan Writer?
A professional business plan writing service will understand the importance of market research, strategy, financial modeling, and business writing. They can offer guidance to business owners on how these aspects should be incorporated into a business plan that will be well received by investors.
The best business plan writer acts as a guide throughout the business planning process, helping large and small business owners tailor their business plans to the needs of a potential investor.
Business Plan Writer Qualifications
There are business plan writers with different qualifications, so entrepreneurs should consider the following factors when choosing a business plan writing service:
- Experience: What is the business plan writer’s level of experience in business planning, market research, and developing a financial plan with projections? You want a writer with a strong background in each critical area of business plan writing.
- Education: A business plan writer with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in business administration or related field is preferred.
- Reviews: Does the business plan expert have any reviews from previous clients?
Why Not Write Your Own Business Plan?
While some companies can develop business plans on their own, most do not have time for this. Moreover, many business owners do not have the proper business writing skills to help convince their intended audience. For these reasons, business owners should hire a business plan writer.
A professional business plan writer will:
- Conduct market research for you
- Work with you to create the best strategies to grow your business
- Create financial projections
- Write your plan geared to your audience. Your audience could range from yourself, your team, partners, banks, angel investors, venture capitalists, etc. In any of these cases, when hiring someone to write a business plan, make sure they have a working knowledge of the needs of your intended audience in order to write a plan that appeals to them.
When to Hire a Business Plan Writer
If you are lacking time, and don’t have significant expertise in the four areas listed above, consider hiring a business plan writer.
The top business plan writers:
- Have a long track record of success in and outside of your industry (outside of your industry is most important as that allows them to give you strategic ideas that have worked well in other markets that can apply to yours)
- Can conduct market research and subscribe to market research databases that give them access to expensive industry reports
- Know how to create sophisticated and valid financial projections
- Understand the wants and needs of lenders, investors, and other audiences so they can tailor the plan according
- Can create a fully customized pitch deck to help you present your business plan to potential investors and lenders
What Our Clients Say
Business Plan Writers FAQs
Who writes business plans.
The best business plans are written by consultants that have written numerous business plans and have continued to work with their clients long-term. Such business plan consultants have gained the experience regarding what aspects of their business plans resonated with investors and lenders and why their clients were successful or unsuccessful in growing their companies.
The best business plan writers often have a degree in business administration, a long track record of success writing business plans inside and outside your industry, and positive reviews from previous clients. Business owners who want to work with someone to write a business plan should consider whether they lack time, expertise in the four areas listed above, or both. Business plan writers for hire don't need to know everything about your business but should be able to conduct market research and create a sophisticated financial plan as well as know the wants of lenders, investors, and other audiences so that they can tailor the plan accordingly.

Do business plan writers work with you on all business aspects, such as marketing and expansion plans?
Yes. A n experienced business plan writer will work with you on all aspects of your business such as marketing, expansion, and even exit strategy plans, but it also depends on the business owner's budget and needs. Please consult with a business plan writer to discuss the specific needs of your business.
How do business plan writers ensure they are meeting your needs?
They are masters of business planning and will work with you on all aspects of business, but it also depends on your business needs. For more information, please consult a business plan writer.
Why can't I just take the free business planning course online or read a book about it to write my own business plan?
Chances are, you don't have the expertise in all four business areas. For instance, you may have extensive experience in marketing, but less of an expert in finance or business strategy. By hiring a business plan writer, you can focus on what you do best while someone else takes on what they do best. This will save time and money for both parties involved while ensuring that everything is handled to make your business a success.
What are the 4 aspects of creating a great business plan?
A good business plan requires the following 4 strategic planning processes:
Market Research
You need to conduct considerable research in the following areas:
- Customer Research : learning about who your target customers are and their wants and needs
- Industry Research : identifying the size of your market and trends affecting it
- Competitive Research : figuring out your direct and indirect competitors and the strengths and weaknesses of each
- Financial Research : in-depth understanding of realistic growth rates and costs (salaries, etc.) so a realistic financial model can be created
Armed with the market analysis, you need to create the optimal growth strategies for your company . For example, if you identified an unmet customer need in your research, you should create strategies to capitalize on this opportunity.
Financial Modeling
Your financial modeling is perhaps the most important part of your plan. This section includes a projected income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet. Poorly reasoned financial models will dissuade most investors. Worse yet, if your financial forecasting calls for too much or too little funding, it will cost you dearly.
Business Plan Writing
The fourth aspect of a solid business plan is writing. While it’s important to be a good business writer, even more important is to understand the needs of the audience. For example, the world’s best writer probably hasn’t spent much time with venture capital firms . As a result, they have no idea what this audience wants, and would probably fail to write a professional plan that appealed to them.
The fully customized business plan should also include the following essential elements:
- Executive Summary
- Company Overview
- Industry Analysis
- Customer Analysis
- Competitive Analysis
- Marketing Plan
- Operations Plan
- Management Team
- Financial Plan
