If you are a small business owner interested in growth and making money, this website is for you. I am a business consultant and business plan writer for small business. I help small business owners develop PROFESSIONAL and AFFORDABLE business plans for startup, private funding and SBA loans.

Unlike online services that attempt to cover the complete gamut from small business startups to venture capital to large corporations, I focus specifically on the needs of the small business owner. The world of small business is nothing like the corporate world. The concepts, environment and language are completely different. When using a professional source for business planning, communications must be personal and direct with someone who understands small business.

If you want a business plan that has integrated content and clarity, you are in the right place. Unlike online services that use multiple staffers and temps in the interest of payroll efficiency, here you will have the advantage of working directly with a PERSONAL PLANNER - Christie Karis. My mission is to help you develop a cohesive business plan that will secure funding, produce sustainable earnings and secure your independence.

My business experience and expertise is unique and grounded in small business operations. In addition to an education in business management and marketing, I have thirty years of national experience in retail, distribution and consulting environments. My background includes operations, marketing and finance along with ownership and management of a family owned retail business with thirty employees. Under the banner of Focal Point Business Plans, I have been developing small business plans successfully since January 2003.

You have a choice of three business plan models that are designed to serve the needs of most small business operations. They are:

100 Level – Startup Business Plan
An affordable and professional document that is especially well suited for those seeking capital from family, private sources and financial institutions.

200 Level – SBA Business Plan
Especially designed to meet SBA criteria, the 200 Level SBA Business Plan is affordable and will define your concept, clarify your market potential and detail your financial projections.

300 Level – Comprehensive Business Plan
The 300 Level Business Plan is designed to meet the needs of retailers, distributors and manufacturers that need funding or must compete for market share under competitive circumstances.

Each of the business plan models is based on the following structure:

• Executive Summary
• Company Summary
• Market Analysis
• Marketing Strategy
• Financial Plan
