How to Create a Business Plan Quickly
Want to finish your business plan FAST?
Watch this free presentation to discover how you can create a professional business plan in 8 hours (or less)!
Don’t let the business plan creation element of starting your company be a drag on your life. You can create a business plan quickly and of high quality with the right mindset and by following these steps.
1. Write an Outline
Write the names of the ten sections of a business plan, and outline them: Executive Summary, Company Analysis, Industry Analysis, Customer Analysis, Competitive Analysis, Marketing Plan, Operations Plan, Management Team, Financial Plan, and Appendix.
Outline the Executive Summary, which is the first section your prospective investors will read. Therein, show market need (“Where is the pain?”); explain the unique products and/or services your company offers; demonstrate that the industry in which you operate has a future (“industry sustainability”); make strong value propositions; highlight the deep experience of your management team; and convey realistic financial projections.
Now create subheadings in each section addressing the elements that will need to be included. If necessary, write the subheadings in the form of questions to be answered.
Fill everything out as completely as you can.
2. Conduct a Brainstorming Session with Your Management Team
If you are the only person on your management team, you still need to take this step. Whether alone or with a management team, use the outline you created in Step 1 to brainstorm every last possible piece of relevant content to include in your business plan.
In any brainstorming session, write more than you need to write. There is no wrong information. The more the merrier. You will eliminate redundant or impertinent information later. Keep the thoughts rolling, and write or type everything down. Follow the outline.
3. Purchase Niche Market Research Reports
This is a crucial step if your business plan is to have a chance of passing muster with the sharp scrutiny of an investor. Yes, you can do your own research online, but you would do well to hire a market research firm. They will dig deep, make the right phone calls, and gather all the relevant data for your niche. You do get what you pay for, so invest in professional research reports to draw from and reference in your business plan.
4. Set a Schedule and Adhere to It
From this point, you can complete your business plan in five days or less. Block out eight hours a day, and aim to finish one section every four hours, with 30-60 minute breaks in-between. You can complete the Industry Analysis and Customer Analysis sections in one four-hour block. The Appendix can be completed as you go along.
The foregoing should get you a great business plan in days, not weeks.
And in fact, if you follow the right steps, you can finish your plan in HOURS.

Top Venture Capital Firm Invests $15 Million in Acton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Sequoia Capital invested $15 Million Wednesday, January 6th, in Series A financing with Acton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the inhalant AEROSPAN. This inhalant is a new type of aerosol inhalant that lacks the CFC base that older inhalants used to have. These types of inhalants are popping up in pharmacies all over the globe because they are more environmentally safe.
As one of the world’s leading venture capital funds for companies, Sequoia Capital invests in all different types of startup companies from energy to technology to healthcare services. They also invest $1-$10 million in early stage startups across the board. Sequoia also invests in growth stage companies of the same spectrum.
Sequoia invests millions of dollars per year so that companies can have the financing to take their ideas to the next level. Most of the founders of this venture capital firm were developers of products from all these different categories as well. So, they know the difficulties of finding the Venture Capital to get a business idea off the ground.
Some of the companies that this Capital fund has financed are those such as Luxim, GameFly, HealthCentral, WeatherBug, FireEye, Rock You, You Tube, Widgetbox, MotoSport, and Rayspan among many others.
These companies were merely ideas and business plans when Sequoia Capital came into play and made them the businesses that they are today. Much the same as AEROSPAN and the company of Acton Pharmaceutical was not much more than an idea when they introduced themselves to this huge venture capital firm.
There are hundreds of venture capital firms that offer funding in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the competition is generally steep when it comes to receiving funding for a new drug because this industry is one of the biggest in the U.S. Pharmaceutical companies from around the world are marketing new drugs every day which need the funding of these firms.
You can read much more about Acton Pharmaceutical and what they stand for at their website: http://actonpharmaceuticals.com/. This website shows the company business plan and what they plan to do. They became established two years ago and are actively growing due to the funding from venture capital firms.
Acton was founded by Daniel L. Kreisler and John W. Simon in 2008. Forest Laboratories, Inc. is the partner which Acton has entered into the agreement with to develop and commercialize their new, environmentally safer inhaled corticosteroid (ISC).
The pharmaceutical industry is well known for being a huge industry with plenty of room for growth. The market is thriving in the United States where this company is located due to the increasing interest of the people in life extension and the treatment of diseases to make this extension of life possible.
