Pre-Planning Process
Get Started
Smart entrepreneurs face reality head on: 20% of new ventures fail in year one, and by year five, over half are gone, overwhelmingly due to poor financial planning, lack of product-market fit, and flawed management of operations.
Shaping Your Business’s Foundation
In the thrilling early stages of transforming a new idea into a viable strategy, the initial blueprint of your venture paves the way for its long-term success.
“Most new businesses, even when they successfully raise capital, struggle in their early stages due to a lack of solid foundational planning.”
This realization inspired Brent Butler, a startup planning expert with over two decades leading a premier Inc. 500 firm, to create Businessplan.com and introduce our Pre-Planning Process. This approach is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the critical framework needed to address issues in financial planning, product-market fit, and operational management.
