Business Plan FAQs
Straight answers to the questions founders ask us most. These business plan FAQs cover prices, timing, funding and how we work. Can’t see your question? Just ask.
Ask a questionPrices and payment
How much does a business plan cost?
Our plans cost £150, £300 or £500 depending on length, research depth and forecast years. See the full business plan pricing page for what each package includes.
Why are you cheaper than consultancies?
We work remotely, keep the process tight and do not charge for meetings or travel. You pay for writing and research, not overheads.
Do I pay upfront?
We invoice once you confirm your package, and start writing when payment clears.
Timing and process
How long does it take to write a business plan?
Essential plans take 5 working days and Standard or Extensive plans take 7. The clock starts once we have your notes and payment.
What do you need from me?
A short description of the business, who the plan is for, the funding you need and any numbers you have, such as prices, costs or sales so far. Rough notes are fine.
Will I speak to my writer?
Yes. You can reach your writer by email or WhatsApp, and a call can be arranged if it helps.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes. Corrections are free. Read the draft, send us your comments and we will update it.
Funding, visas and lenders
Will my plan work for a Start Up Loan?
Yes. We follow the Start Up Loans format, with the cash flow forecast and personal survival budget the scheme asks for. Read more on our Start Up Loan business plan page.
Do you write Innovator Founder visa business plans?
Yes. We write plans that address innovation, viability and scalability for endorsing bodies. See our visa business plan page.
Can you guarantee funding?
No honest writer can. Lenders and investors look at your credit, experience and security too. What we can do is make sure the plan itself is clear, credible and complete.
Do you write plans for businesses in Europe?
Yes. We work with founders in Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and across the EU. See our European locations.
The finished plan
What format will I get?
A Word document and a PDF, plus the Excel workbook behind your financial forecasts.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. We only use your details to write your plan and never share them. See our privacy policy.
Do you write pitch decks too?
Yes. Ask for a quote and we can build a deck that matches your plan.
