The Business Finance Link Between You and Success
Have you been turned down for funding?
The fact is, venture capital firms, angel investors and banks need to give you money! It is the only way they make money.

Having too many ideas and trying to cover all aspects of the business from research and development through manufacturing, distribution, sales and service does not work. We show you how to focus on the one key element that will assure genuine success and the most profit.
- How to "defend" your business plan. Investors want to know how well you know your own business and market. Unless you know all the assumptions and research, you will not know how to defend your business plan. These reports show you step-by-step how to prepare, produce, publish and defend your plan.
You will save:
- Money: Professional business plan writers charge between $15,000 and $50,000 for a complete business plans, valuations and deal structuring. The legal documents may double that price. By doing most of the legwork yourself, and then having it reviewed by professionals before presenting it to investors, you can save thousands of dollars because you have already done all the research.
- Time. You will avoid spinning your wheels, wasting precious time and resources with the wrong prospects. So let's say that you got an inexpensive MBA and it only cost you $5000. Then you hired a CPA for 10 hours at $150 an hour to do your financial's. The fact is, you still wouldn't know how to present or structure your deal!
Why not forget about the MBA, the CPA and all the others, and just do it yourself?
We used to sell these 7 reports for $99 EACH (our consulting fee was $5,000). Now, you can save over $500 and get it done right the first time.
You will save thousands of dollars and your plan will take less time to complete!

Save the Cost of an MBA and More
How can you learn what you need to know? How can you get the right information quickly and at a reasonable cost? Here are some other options:
- You can get an MBA: The cost of an MBA for yourself ($50,000 minimum) and three years time.
- You can hire a newly minted MBA, but no matter how good the school, in our experience they usually have little or no practical business experience.
- Most CPA's we know prefer not to build financial models. They prefer to account for past revenues and expenses.
- There are lots of business planning books out there, but they are a lot like computer manuals. They tell you what the program does, not how to use the program to make money.
- You can buy business planning software packages that range in price from $129 to $500 or more. All have fixed programs that allow you little, if any, flexibility. The results scream "canned programs". These programs will not get your deal funded.
