Business Plan Preparation

Let our team help you. From initial concept to a polished document ready to take to the bank, we can guide you through the process and help prepare a business plan which will:

a) describe in great detail what you plan to do and how you will do it;
b) lay out all the financial documents including needs and uses of money; and
c) cover such vital topics as target market, competition and competitive advantage; marketing, operations, staffing, laws and rules and regulations, insurance, taxation, incorporation or sole proprietorship or co-op or partnership, banking...
everything you need to help you get funding and then start and run your successful venture.


Proposal and Grant Writing

If you must either a) write proposals to get contracts or b) write grant applications, we can work with you. Our team has years of experience working with government, corporations and foundations, so we know how they operate. Our success rate is very high in these areas. If you prefer, we can bill you on a "fee plus contingency" rate for these services.


Alternative Marketing

Most traditional advertising and marketing does not work anymore. Beat your competition! Learn why and how to use alternative or guerrilla tactics which might not cost very much, but get you the results you want: more customers and more money.


Program and Project Management

Our team has successfully and within budget operated numerous short and long term projects, from a national award-winning employment pilot, to back-to-work training programs with budgets of a quarter million dollars. We can either show you how, or help you run yours.


Feasibility Studies

Want to start a business or take on a project? Not sure if you should? Working closely with you, we can help you look at and weigh all the factors before you say "go" or "no go", thus saving you time and money down the road. If the answer is "yes", then we can assist with the business plan or project planning. If the answer is "no", we can help you find alternatives.
