Proposal Writing

The aim of a business proposal is to answer your customer's questions and persuade them to choose you. Business proposal writing should be more about your customer than it is about you.

Content is king and always will be!

The Internet is the information superhighway and most people use it for information of some sort. Generally the more useful and interesting content a website has the more successful it will be. This is because more people will want to visit it again and again, this is especially true if a website is constantly adding more and more content on a regular basis.

Don't make it hard for the reader

Writing a business document is hard. Reading a poorly written business document is even harder, and probably more painful than writing one.

A Business Plan should answer these questions

Who are your customers? How will you find them? What do they want? How will you provide these needs? Do you know your business & how it will run? Do you know your industry & current trends? How are you qualified? Do your assumptions make sense? Do your projections make sense? How will you measure your progress? How wil...l you make it easy for people to do business with you? What differentiates your business?

Describe the business

This section should cover the basics of the business in terms of where it stands today, where you plan to take it and where it has come from.

Go for it

Thinking about starting your own business but people keep telling you it wont succeed? For every business that works, 10 people have said it won't. Don't waste your time listening to anyone else? Believe in yourself and prove everyone else wrong.

How about a grant?

If getting a business loan though your bank is starting to feel like banging your head against a brick wall, don’t despair. You can still apply for grants through your local council. The typical amounts available are from £500 to £1,000, but in some cases start up businesses can apply for multiple grants. It's worth looking into!
