How can your business grow faster?
NEED FINANCING
A business plan is required to get a loan or venture capital.
GROWING PAINS

NO PLAN
You’ve been lucky without a plan … but that time has passed.
RISK MITIGATION
“What if …” scenarios to protect your business with a backup plan.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,* almost half of all businesses fail in the first five years, and 20% fail within the first two years.
The reasons businesses fail today have not changed much over time – and all of them are still due to lack of planning.
Common Reasons Businesses Fail
Unclear business model
Don’t understand my customer
No unique value proposition
Poor cashflow
No risk mitigation plan
Ineffective marketing
Entrepreneurs are self-starters … but there is great risk in owning a business, including the potential for financial failure which has far-reaching impacts beyond just your business.
That’s why smart entrepreneurs have a guide – to help identify the best trail in new territory, and to avoid stumbling along the way.
You’re great at what you do, let our business planning experience at ZimmInc make your business great, too.

Myth
Fact
While it’s true that that entrepreneurs are resourceful, studies show that companies with a Plan are about twice as successful in key areas like growth and getting financial assistance.*
That’s because a business plan answers questions such as “Where are we relative to our goals?” “What are our goals?” “How can we achieve our goals?” “What will we do if … .”
Answers to these questions are critical at any stage of your business, so it’s never too late to create your unique business plan.

I already launched my business, I don’t need a business plan.
Myth
Fact
While it’s true that your business plan is your roadmap to success, the daily management of your business can be overwhelming. So, you need a coach to keep you focused and on track.
That’s why ZimmInc stays with you after we collectively create your plan, and it’s all included as part of the process.
We’ll meet quarterly to review what’s working, what’s not, what needs to be done, and what needs to be updated. That way you don’t need to ride through the open range alone.
Once I have my business plan, I’m all set!
