I have a unique set of skills and experiences that, at least in
my opinion, make me a great choice as a business plan writer.
Back in the '80s, I went to college at University of Maryland and
majored in Finance. After that, I dabbled in a few business ventures
that involved futures trading and real estate investment.
By 1988, I decided that a "real job" would be a good
experience for me, and I ended up at what is now Bank of America.
I was there for almost ten years, and in 1998 I resigned a position
as a relationship manager in commercial banking. I was successful
in that position, but I wanted to do my own thing again.
That is when I formed Mercury Partners. Much of what I did in this
business revolved around the "dot-com" boom; most of my
clients were start-ups in search of capital. I wrote business plans
and prepared presentations for them. I also taught my clients what
to do and what not to do while they tried to raise money. It was
during this time that I had several
articles on small business banking published in Inc.
Magazine.
While I was growing Mercury Partners, my wife started an email
marketing services company called Inbox Interactive. This
business was really taking off, so I made the decision to give up
Mercury Partners so that I could help grow my wife's business. I
took on responsibilities for business development and client services.
Naturally, I also handled all of the finances.
Inbox Interactive still exists, but I recently realized that I
miss working with other entrepreneurs. I really enjoy hearing about
people's ideas and plans for new businesses, and I think I can offer
a lot of guidance and feedback along the way. In addition, I enjoy
business writing very much. While some people may dread the idea
of writing business plans, I actually find it very interesting.
So, now that you know a little more about me, can I learn a little
more about you? If you have an idea for a business, I'd love to
hear about it, even if you don't want help with your plan or projections.
Naturally, samples of my work are available upon request. Please
call me on (770) 265-8316 to discuss your needs so that
I can provide a relevant sample, or use the Quick
Connect form to get a call back right away. And if you just
can't wait to see a sample business plan, you can look at this
one that I wrote a few years back (PDF, 328k).
