 The first time you contact us at Planigent, expect to do most of the talking. That's because the only effective way for us to gain an understanding of your business model and what you want to accomplish is to listen. Sure, we will probably have plenty of questions, but their purpose is simply to encourage you to talk more, to help us understand your needs.
After we have fully absorbed the nature of your business, the purpose of your business plan, the type of funding you seek and the expected audience for your plan, we provide you with a detailed proposal that explains what we will do, when we will do it, and how much it will cost. We do not offer boiler plate solutions, but rather innovative approaches tailor-made to each client's needs.
Once we agree on the particulars, we get to the real work: writing a powerful and compelling plan for your business. A typical sequence of events will include writing a first draft for your review and comments; incorporating your suggestions into a second draft; preparing a final draft for your review and approval.
Our final product is delivered in the format to which we both agreed during the proposal phase. This might be an electronic document such as a word processor file, a hard copy, or a professionally printed and bound booklet. In any case, what we strive to deliver is satisfaction to you, our client. It is not easy to sit in front of an investor or a roomful of venture capitalists and convince them that your dream is worth taking a chance on. We know that from experience. With a professionally developed business plan from Planigent, you will have the confidence to make it happen.
Dream. Dare. Wisely.
Contact us today and begin to bring your dream to life.

Planigent Tip:The Exit Strategy
Regardless of how you get your plan done - on your own, with software, or with professional help - don't forget to tell your potential investors how they will get their money out. The "Exit Strategy" does not have to be complicated or lengthy, but omitting it is one of the most common mistakes that inexperienced business plan writers make. Here are some examples of typical exit strategies you can propose:
· IPO (overused, to say the least)
· Buyout by Management or other shareholders
· Acquisition by another company
· Third party buyout |
