Gaming Industry Business Plan Development, $1,199

A business plan is utilized in-house to maintain vision or circulated outside of your company to attract investors. The business plan lays down the risks and expected rewards, showing investors how your company will reward their investment. Are you starting a new business, expanding an existing business, or requesting a loan for equipment or other improvements? You need a business plan.

Due to the high number of gaming-industry business plans which I receive, I concentrate on that industry. I can provide business plans for people who want to be a

Why Not Use a Template?

The template you find with an Internet search was probably written for another market, by an owner with different background and skills sets, and with different funding in mind. Creating a business is an extraordinary complex enterprise. Copying and pasting fails to get the funding you need; more importantly, it fails to ask the hard questions before you invest your money. I ask those questions and help you find the answers. I also have detailed and specific information about the gaming industry, ranging from sales figures to distribution channels to suggested price points for your SKUs. Templates don’t.

Why Not Use Business Plan Software?

If you plan to write several business plans because you haven’t yet decided what you want to do, then investing in software might be helpful. You’ll spend anywhere from $100 to over $200 for the software, and then spend up to 100 hours going through tutorials and developing your plan. You won’t have the personalized help that LloydWrites provides. You won’t have a writing professional prepare your text. Your business plan will be an obvious template, which could have a negative impression on your lender. Most importantly, you won’t have the guidance of a consultant who can project the sales that your personal business plan can reach based on a matrix of personal experience, peer networking, and client results.

What exactly does a Lloydwrites business plan do for you?

I’ll help you organize your thoughts concerning your prospective business by asking the questions lenders ask. I can alert you to potential pitfalls in a lease a landlord has offered. While I can’t guarantee that your credit is good enough for a loan, I’ll present the plan in the most favorable light possible to maximize your financial institution’s confidence in your business.

My plans

• Save you money. The value of my advice far exceeds the cost of a plan. The free articles don’t share all the tips.
• Save you time. Estimates of the time spent on a business plan range from 40 hours to over 100 hours. How much is your time worth?
• Save you risk. Having all the numbers down in black and white gives you a much clearer understanding of what you’re getting into.
• Improve your chance of success. Store owners who take my advice open to higher sales with much more stable operations.

I also provide the all-important financials that lenders want to see—specifically your break-even analysis and cash-flow projections that demonstrate where the money comes from and how fast it comes in. Most small businesses fail, and most of the businesses that fail collapse because they didn’t accurately estimate how much capital reserve they need to keep from going bankrupt before sales started paying the bills. I’ll crunch those numbers to give you the best chance of success.
