Why do you need a Business Plan?
A Business Plan is a very effective tool of communicating with others the idea of what you business is.. What it's strengths are, why you will be successful, your financial situation, projected profits and losses, your history, your expertise and the list goes on.

A plan is used in several ways although the two most common, of which we cater for at harryluke.com.au, are for the purposes of showing your business strategies to potential investors and/or to financiers if you need alternate funding supplies.

Having been exposed to the finance industry for several years, we are proud to produce plans that meet the needs of most financial institutions. We cover the concept of hurt money, input, skill sets, your advantage, security position and the likes... all this information is provided by you, with our interpretation and correct questioning allowing us to uncover the most important of information to ensure your plan is well regarded in the eyes of other.

Do you have to pay someone to do a plan for you?
No, the simple answer is no!

All you need is access to a computer (if your reading this you have that already) and a word processor of some sort. You may even find templates to create your own plan and have a guide as to what to put into it.. In fact, we are currently putting together a template for those who wish to battle the plan themselves.. click here and watch for a business plan template to be loaded.


Why would you pay HarryLuke to do your plan?
We have been writing Business Plans and similar documents for small businesses for over 18 years now and have an uncanny ability to ask the most appropriate questions in order to create an effective Business Plan for you.

We explore your business and gain a thorough understanding of your structure and what sets you apart from your competitors. Our experience has provided us an insight that allows us to know what others are seeking when reading a business plan as well as being able to ask the best questions of you that will allow us to present you and your business in the best possible light.

Of the business we prepare plans for the majority have been created for the benefit of financial institutions for people seeking some form of funding for their businesses. Be it working capital, business acquisitions or even for additional capital in the business. Of the financial plans we have put forward, the feedback we have received from customers is that 9 out of 10 we have done for finance applications have been successful in the application. Of the 1 out of 10 that was not successful, the feedback received from the client and the bank was very positive and the reasons behind not being approved was not due to the plan itself, but the business owners personal financial standing that has hindered the application.

With our experience, and you paying for our service, we will not only produce the plan but also advise you on the best possible avenue as to how to sell your business in the best possible way through the plan and if you are applying for finance we will even assist in preparing for that with common conversations should you wish to seek this advice.

This is why most people choose to pay someone for a level of expertise that some small business owners either can not allocate the time to do themselves or have the facilities to create a business plan to the level required.

Why HarryLuke over someone else?
We are local, we are committed and we are experienced.

If you have any queries, concerns or wish to drive the plan a little we are more than happy to work with you in order to get a plan that you are very happy with and proud to present.. If you are a business owner, you pride yourself on this achievement and we at HarryLuke want the plan we create for you to be a part of that pride.

What are the advantages of using an external party to create your Business Plan?
As you are very close to your business and know the ins and outs of it intrinsically, using an external source to write your Business Plan allows an impartial party to put together the best parts of your business into the plan.

As you are so close to the business, there can sometimes be a sense of overwhelming urge to include everything both positive and negative about your business into the plan.. But this is not what the plan is about.. Using an external party will allow us to explore all there is to know about your business and write about the positives, about the growth, about you and tailor it unbiasedly towards the reason you need the business plan in the first place..

We stick to a fairly logical process in writing the plan and do not let the emotional component of the business affect the delivery of the plan. Our plans will amaze you, let you look at your business like you may have never done before and be proud to present your plan to your intended readers.

What is covered in the plan?
We cover your business from start to finish. This includes the structure, the owners, the address, the reason you exist, the reason you want to exist, your strengths, your weaknesses, your opportunities, your funding requirements, your cash input to date and value, your objective, customer lists, profits and losses, web details and the list goes on..

For the money you pay, it is a rather comprehensive amount of information that is provided to you in your new Business Plan. For those who are contemplating doing the plan yourselves, please seek as much information as possible as the more information you have at hand to interpret what information you need to include or exclude is very important.

Of the plans we have completed for businesses considering doing the plans themselves, we always get positive feedback for what we have done for them. One of the biggest comments we get is the cost, especially about the $400 option.

One customer who wrote a plan themselves asked for us to review it for them, to which we did. After the review we were very surprised, it was very detailed and covered what we would normally do although added a few extra pages in order to achieve this.. We provided some feedback and suggested what to re-write although the client asked us to complete the plan for him... We couldn't understand why as he had almost completed it... So we asked... simply, we were told it took him something like 24 hours work to get done what we would have completed more concisely in a much shorter period of time and our customers missed income from spending 24 hours writing this plan exceeded the savings he would have made if he had simply paid us the $400 to complete the plan in the first place... made sense to us, after he told us of course!

What do our plans tend to be used for?
Most of the plans we produce tend to be used and tailored for finance applications, with both brokers and directly with top tier banks.

Do we ammend your plan?
Yes... We can alter the plans in the future should you require... Although we do charge for this...

Alternatively, we provide you with your plan in the form of a Word Document so you can potentially alter this yourself in order to save you some dollars... It is our intention to keep your costs down as much as possible, this is just another way by providing you the plan in Word format to make some changes yourself.
