Are you playing the funding game with prospective investors? Then you know the routine: Presentation after presentation delivered to tight-lipped investors who say "don't call us, we'll call you." Crisscrossing the country, pitching angel investors, venture capital firms and financiers. Trying to find someone who understands your vision.

It's no fun, especially when cash is tight, you've got payroll to make, computers to buy, websites to build, trade shows to attend, employees to hire - if the odds seem heavily stacked against you, it's because they are.

During the last fifteen years my team members and I have worked with over 150 companies. I've personally reviewed over 1000 business plans and I can tell you that only the top one percent ever see the light of day.

Do you have a "Top 1%" Business Plan?

To be blunt, the answer is... probably not.

But you can.

Now the sad truth is, the people you're pitching aren't going to sit down and tell you how to re-write your business plan so that they like it. They're going to throw it away and go on to the next one, and it doesn't bother them a bit that you don't know why they didn't bite.

After reviewing over a thousand business plans, I have seen very consistent patterns in what inspires investors' confidence and what doesn't. Top 1% Business Plans all have certain things in common that most people overlook.

It's not your fault that you don't know the secrets of writing a Top 1% Business Plan. You could get an MBA at Harvard Business School but they'll only get you in the ballpark. You won't learn it in a book that you buy at Barnes and Noble, and no investor is ever going to say "OK, here are the magic words that will cause me to give you money."

The Power of a Great Business Plan

A killer business plan can melt skepticism like butter. It proves that you're painstakingly thorough, that you've done your homework and that you know what investors really care about.

Would you like to increase your odds of getting your plan read by institutional and individual investors? After putting three plus agonizing months of blood sweat and tears and thousands of dollars into developing your plan, shouldn’t you give it the best chance of being read?

I've written a Business Plan Development Guide that will walk you through the creation of an effective business plan. The content is based on my years of experience helping companies gain access to funding. The paper answers the question, "What separated the 10 successful business plans from the 990 failures?"

You’ll learn what needs to be in a business plan, from soup to nuts. Nothing is left out. If you are just sitting down to write your own plan, this Guide will serve as your outline. If you already have a business plan that isn’t getting the results you deserve, the Guide will show you where the holes are.

Make sure you’re not missing any of the key elements that will get the attention and interest of investors.

Make sure you’re avoiding the key pitfalls that can doom your plan to the wastebasket before it even gets read.
