“It breaks my heart to see so many people throw money away needlessly, launching products and businesses that haven’t been well thought-through.”
-Doug Hedlund, CEO, Double-Team Business Plans

'Double-Team' On your Business Plan & Investor Pitch With a Pro's Help
Most people we know feel that their business is unique. That calls for a uniquely fresh and personalized strategy and plan that will best help them achieve their goals. You also want a financial plan that is realistic and attainable and easily trackable each month.
No one can guarantee that you will hit your numbers or raise the money you want, since money-people look at the people first, the opportunity second, and the business plan third. Financiers know that the acid-test is how well a plan can be expected to work in the real world.
That's where we shine. Our "double-team" approach has an exceedingly good record of getting results, and your plan is guaranteed to give you your very best chance to succeed in the marketplace.
If you need to make changes in the text after the final plan is submitted, we’ll do it for 90 days after at no charge. (If you need to revise the financial projections that you have approved previously, that takes some serious additional work. So anytime after the plan is delivered, we’ll make any financial changes you want on a reasonable supplemental-fee basis.)
When do you know if you're 'out of the woods?'
Only when you are breaking even on a cash-flow basis do you know that the business needs no further capital investment in order to stand on its own. At this all-important milestone, your revenue is at least covering all your expenditures.
Only THEN, in our view, do you have the luxury of taking a flyer on some other products and services. If you then choose to do so, we can help by testing your way into some additional new-product or new-service launches. As a former employer of mine, David Ogilvy, used to caution, “look before you leap.”
Some new products may well make a killing for you. Some will likely fail to bring in enough profit to make them worthwhile. But that’s the nature of the entrepreneurial life, as you no doubt know. Look before you leap, indeed.
