My Services
Here are some of the services I offer. Feel free to email me with any questions.
Business Idea Evaluation
You have an idea for a business.
You're not ready to splash out on a full business plan because you're not even sure if the idea is a good one. But you've been thinking about it for weeks, months, maybe years, and you just need a professional opinion.
If this sounds like you, then this service is the perfect solution.
Via a Zoom call, we meet, talk, and I will ask you a million questions about your business idea. (Okay, maybe only a thousand). You may not have answers to them all, which is fine, because my job is to help you discover both what you know and what you don't know. I will give you my feedback and together we will discuss ways your business idea and/or business model can be adjusted. (If you don't know the difference between business idea and business model, we will discuss that too).
As a former professor of Entrepreneurship, I tend to slide into teacher mode, and a whole lot of learning is jammed into our consultation. After the Zoom call, I will prepare a summary of our discussion.
Price: $275
Business Plan
A concise, persuasive and realistic business plan is crucial to your business idea being seen as viable.
As an experienced business plan creator and company founder, I recognize that a Business Plan is not simply taking information and slotting it into a pre-made template.
We start with a full consultation where we discuss your business and we ask the important questions: Is the idea feasible? Are the financial assumptions justifiable? Are the growth figures grounded in reality? What is this business's competitive advantage and is it sustainable?
Next, a full business plan is crafted, written in the clear and concise style that investors and financial institutions require. I have sat on both sides of the table during my 25+ year career - as an an entrepreneur and a banker - therefore I know exactly what is required.
Price: $4,000
Writing & Editing
My love of the written word spans over 30 years and over this time I have delivered well-written, professional and impactful content to clients around the world.
I specialize in business documents but also enjoy many other types of writing such as academic essays, web content, letters, personal statements, newsletters, marketing emails, essays, course content, presentations, proposals, business reports, articles and blog posts.
My work includes full line-editing which means far more than basic spelling, grammar and punctuation.
I work on clarity, syntax, word choice, nuance, impact, structure, readability and coherence.
Good writing is a joy to read, and that is my goal for your document.
You will receive both a clean and marked-up version, so you can review all changes.
All jobs include unlimited revisions because your satisfaction is everything.
Writing: $0.85 per word
Editing: $0.45 per word
