Business Plan Preparation and Implementation
The most important element of a successful business is a relevant and realistic business plan. ISM Consulting assists the business owner with development of a business plan that is consistent with the owner's vision and that recognizes the realities of the business environment.
The elements of a sound business plan include company structure and ownership; locations and facilities; product/service descriptions; market analyses; strategy and implementation plans and schedules; management team skills and resources; financial plans and analyses; exit strategy, etc.
ISM Consulting has the experience and the tools to develop a strong business plan that can function as a "roadmap" for the ongoing business. For businesses seeking financing, the business plan is the key element for obtaining this financing, and is usually a requirement of bankers and investors.
The business plan is also a "living document" that should be reviewed and updated to reflect actual performance, as well as any changes to the vision of the business owner. As an ad hoc member of the business owner's management team, ISM Consulting is in the best position to coordinate business planning at all stages of the life of the business.
