Velocity strategic planning
The professionals you hired to help write your business plan shouldn't disappear the day you open your new business. We think that's when you need help the most.
​
Up until now, entrepreneurs starting a franchise or their own business concept have had 3 choices in when it comes to preparing their business plan.
​
Hire a Professional Business Plan Writing Service
The downside with utilizing most business plan writing services is they come with very little actual business experience. Going this route means you'll probably end up working with is a graphic designer and a last week looking for a job english major. On the bright side, the grammar, spelling and layout of your business plan will be great.
​
Go It Alone
There's good and bad with downloading a template and writing your own plan. The good is that you've thought it through by yourself and for yourself, rather than handing it off to someone to do for you. The downside is that it's extremely time consuming and easy to get"lost in the details" of just putting it together.
Not Have One
Definently the inexpensive way to go, but lenders and investors won't go for it!
​
We think there's a better way.
What Makes Our Planning Process The Most Unique in The Industry?
​
Collaborative Planning Meetings
Velocity isn’t a hand us the money and we'll get back to you with a business plan type of organization. We think successful businesses start with hands on owner involvement. That's why we work collaboratively with clients and guide them in building their business plan through a series of 60-90 minute Zoom Meetings. Is this more work for you than handing the planning of your business over to someone else? Yes. Is it worth knowing every aspect of your new business inside and out when you are done? We think so!
​
Connect Activities To Revenue
On average, companies large or small only deliver 63% of the financial performance their strategies promised. This is called, the Strategy to Performance Gap. Our goal is to do better than this. That means during the planning process we spend a lot of time helping you set milestones and identify the daily, weekly and monthly activities that will drive revenue.
The Long Term
Most business plans don’t look past opening day. Our planning addresses your long term objectives including additional locations, acquisitions, succession and exiting the business.
​
The Velocity Advisor Program
The success of your new business won’t be decided by what you’ve written in a business plan. It will be determined by how you respond when reality is DIFFERENT from what you expected. That's why we think the Velocity Advisor Program is so important, especially with new businesses and first time business owners. What is it? It's an on-going series of short meetings (typically once a month) focused on activities, milestones and revenue. The same things identified in your business plan as critical to your success. Throughout the start up period of your business, our goal is to help you stay focused on these activities and ultimately ramp up your financial performance as quickly as possible.
​
​
No Obligation Intro Meeting
The first step in building a strategic plan is to determine if we are a good fit for each other. Normally that’s a 30 minute phone call. From that meeting, we can determine the cost of building your plan and when we can get started. When you're ready, use the Schedule a Call link below and let's get started!
