"EPIC wrote a great plan in a very little time. It was useful to have their insight and experience at my disposal. I also learned quite a bit during the planning process and I'm planning to use the model for my first operating budget."

Tips for choosing a professional business plan writer
-
Choose a firm with whom you feel you have a good rapport. Communication is a primary component of successful consulting.
-
Only choose a member of the BBB with link to their BBB record on their website. If the logo isn't linked to the BBB that consultant is in violation of BBB policy.
-
Consultants should not oversell the length of your plan. Forty pages is probably way too long.
-
Choose a planner that isn't limited by business planning software such as Business Plan Pro or an online product. Your financial model should be built specifically for you in Microsoft Excel and your document should be written in Microsoft Word - allowing you to make any changes you like, email it to whomever you like, create PDF's of the document, etc.
-
Choose a planner that prices each plan based on its unique level of complexity and doesn't lump all business plans into a few categories. Considerations for your business plan are unique. The length, cost, and development time should be evaluated accordingly.
-
Avoid companies that make unethical claims. The BBB link should be provided. Google, MSN, and Yahoo do not rank companies.
-
Avoid companies won't continue to provide assistance. Some amount of ongoing consulting and service should be built into the planning price. Even after you get your funding (or whatever you are using your plan for) you should be able to talk to your consultant for advice.
-
Choose a firm that uses a combination of employees and contract consultants - for three reasons.
 This structure keeps fixed overhead to a minimum, allowing for more competitive pricing. If a consultant ever produces substandard results - they'll no longer be a part of that team.
In line with this - too many people working on one document leads to poor communication and general confusion. Companies should limit the number of consultants per plan to three at a maximum. This allows each to bring his/her area of specialty to the table - but keeps the process simple and efficient.
