If you are based in Abuja and you are looking for a competent business plan writer to hire, then you should be interested in knowing a few things beforehand? For instance, what will the service be like? How much will the business plan writer charge you for using his service? How can you even tell if a business plan writer is the right fit for your business?
I
will give a few tips on how to approach and use the services of a professional business
plan writer using my own experience and how I have responded to clients in the
past. But first let us establish why it is necessary to hire a competent
business plan writer and how to know if you are not dealing with a quack.
Why you should hire a competent Business
Plan Writer
For
a start a competent business plan writer will save you money and time when it
comes to writing a very good business plan. A highly experienced business plan
writer can prepare a very standard and bankable business plan for you within 1
week – without use of software. It takes a lot of experience, skill and
imagination to present a business plan that will convince a bank or investor to
give money out to a loan seeking business owner. Doing field research is
expensive and time consuming, you don’t need to put yourself through all that,
let the business plan writer stress himself out for your sake.
Another
reason you should hire a competent business plan writer is to avoid falling
victim to quacks and fraudsters. The professional business plan writer relies
on referrals, relationships and networking to attract new clients and to grow
their business. That means doing a good job and delivering it on time to the
client is the hallmark of their service. The fraudsters and quacks on the other
hand do not care about their reputation but only want to make quick money at
your expense. They will leave you very angry and frustrated if you ever
mistakenly use them. I have had clients in the past complain to me about being
scammed by business plan writers peddling business plans online from their
websites (they usually charge 10,000 naira and leave their account details for
you to pay them). Do not patronize such people. They are quacks at best, but
mostly scammers.
How can you tell if you are on to the
right business plan writer?
This
is the most crucial aspect of hiring a professional business plan writer in my
opinion because it will determine if all the subsequent steps are worth
pursuing. If you are on to the wrong business plan writer obviously there is no
need to proceed to the next steps. A competent business plan writer is readily identifiable
by how experienced and knowledgeable he/she is about general business writing. When
you speak with him/her, you can sense the experience by the quality of
communication and use of business terms when attending to your enquiry. They usually
sound professional, official and experienced and are more than happy to answer
your relevant questions when you present them.
Second
fact is that they are methodical about how they respond to your enquiry. They know
how to steer your enquiry towards a more productive outcome even before
engaging them for your business plan, you can already see the direction your enquiry
will lead to as they offer conclusive explanations and details of their work
style and terms to you. You can test them with probing questions and you will know
if the person you are talking to is a pretender or a serious business plan
writer. Most times the quacks and fraudsters will crack with probing questions
about your business opportunity.
Always
check the professional experience of the business plan writer as well. A beginner
or rookie business plan writer is definitely not a fit for your business needs
but a business plan writer who has experience working within the industry and
has successfully helped some of his clients raise funding to start or expand
their businesses is a great fit for your business planning needs.
What are some of the Business Plan Terms
to expect?
The
terms of what to expect depends on the business plan writer you are dealing
with. You can only know about their terms after making initial contact with
them. In my case for instance, you will either place a phone call to me or
email me to get an initial response for which I will eventually steer you
towards my terms based on how productive our conversation has been. You can
find out more about my terms after making contact with me.
How much should you pay an Abuja based
professional Business Plan Writer?
That
is not a straight forward question because the answer is that it depends. But a
realistic fee to look forward to is 25,000 naira which is usually the lowest
amount a professional business plan writer will charge (beware of the 10,000
naira business plan writers here, you will always regret using their service). The
fee doesn’t necessarily prove the competence of the writer but for a person who
makes a living writing business plans you wouldn’t expect him to charge you
peanuts. But you shouldn’t pay more than 70,000 naira for a business plan
except where there is a lot of field work and technical research involved.
My
last word to anyone looking for a business plan writer to hire in Abuja, check
out the level of experience and proven expertise of the writer first before
moving on to their terms of service and finally check out their fees and if all
these sits well with you, then you have found yourself a good business plan
writer to work with.
