THE BUSINESS PLAN CONSULTANCY OF CHOICE IN SA
A business plan accurately defines a business, identifies its goals and objectives, and serves as its resume. It supports the business to allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen circumstances, and make calculated business decisions. The importance of a comprehensive, well-thought-out business plan cannot be overemphasised. Much hinges on it - outside funding, credit from suppliers, acquiring potential customers, management of the operation and finances, promotion and marketing of the business, and achievement of the company´s business objectives. The speed with which a loan application is evaluated will depend largely on the comprehensiveness and quality of a submitted business plan.
JTB Consulting™ was established in 2007 to provide high-quality Business Plan Writing, Business Profile Writing and Business Consultation Services to South African entrepreneurs, new start-up businesses and established companies.
