Question I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the process of starting my practice. I need to know how to write a business plan to start this mental health counseling firm. Also, how can I research the market for potential clients? Thanks for your response.
Answer Lavon: You have several choices: 1) buy a book on how to write a business plan/the do-it-yourself method; 2) buy a business plan software package preferably one of the "fill in the blanks" variety - it will give you as you go guidance OR hire a PROFESSIONAL business plan writer to write it for you. I am soon going into my 45th year as a professional business plan writer, business consultant and tax man.
More often than not people who try to write their own business plan
become both frustrated and overwhelmed. I WRITE "custom" business plans. Although I use both a computer and a word software program
EACH business plan I do is unique and tailored to the specific client and type of business. If you would like to speak with me re: my writing a business plan for you my 800# is: 800-840-4320; my direct e-mail address is: johntroland@msn.com
