Your Business Plan: Clarify Your Vision
At Sounding Line Consulting, we love nothing more than helping businesses build a little confidence in their business planning.
Confidence starts with having a well-thought-out business plan.
We start our business planning process by defining your business goals. Then we add some market research, some graphic design, and a whole lot of award-winning storytelling, and bundle that with a business plan strategy designed to help you reach your goals. You’ll receive a one-of-a-kind business plan that details your vision for success while also reflecting your unique business personality and goals.
Every one of our business plans are custom-built, so each has a slightly different format depending on your needs. Generally, however, we offer two business plan packages levels.
Standard Business Plan
For our standard business plan, we start with a deep-dive SWOT Analysis to help you pinpoint where you’ll need to funnel the most resources as you start or grow your business. Then we dive into market trends and industry performance so you can benchmark your business growth against industry standards.
Finally, our detailed, editable budget planning spreadsheet will provide you with one year of profit and loss and cash flow projections that will help you understand if you’ve set profitable pricing for your products and services.
Our standard business plans include:
- Executive Summary
- Market Opportunity
- Company Overview
- Products & Services
- Basic Competitor Analysis
- Industry Trends & Research
- SWOT Analysis
