The decision is purely up to you and your team. Failure to do so could expose you and the company to significant liability.
Do we really need a business plan?
The first is a concise and easy-to-digest strategic document designed to persuade potential investors to be contacted for explanations and initial meetings. The second is a more detailed document that serves as a day-to-day roadmap as well as detailing the tactics that underpin your overall strategy.
The first must be a compelling document that sells; the latter can be a collection of spreadsheets, lists, research summaries, and other documents included in a binder that you refer to and update regularly. We specialize in preparing performance improvement business plans, but many other things are suitable for use in business operations plans.
Why should we work with StepNesia to create our business plan instead of doing it ourselves?
In addition to our expertise in preparing this material, we offer independent third-party views and information about your business and may ask you questions you may not have thought of.
How does the process work?
- Initial discussion to understand your basic needs.
- Material review (draft of a business plan, finance, market research, competitor research, etc.).
- Follow-up discussion to clarify details and agree on the scope and costs of the project.
- Several in-depth discussions to better understand the details, develop a strategy and agree on all the key elements of a business plan and financial model.
- Do additional research, as needed.
- Draft the Presentation and review it with you to ensure that all parties agree on the vision.
- Draft the Executive Summary and review it with you to ensure that we all agree on the next level of detail.
- Prepare a draft business plan outline for your review.
- Start filling in the details on the draft. Get input and feedback.
- Incorporate income and expense models into financial models, and explain how they work.
- Complete every deliverables.
- Train you on the best way to present the results and how to answer any questions that may arise.
- Provide ongoing support, including making minor updates to deliverables at no additional cost.
- Depending on how we structure the project, you may need to spend a few hours on the process during a typical engagement.
For how long?
Actual times may be affected by the quality of materials available, the level of participation, the complexity of your market and business model, and our current workload.
Some projects that are considered to be simple can be completed in just a few days, and we already have other projects that are longer.
Can StepNesia work faster?
How does StepNesia rate its services?
- Scope of projects, in terms of tasks and documents that require assistance.
- The sophistication and specific needs of your target audience.
- Quality of existing materials, including initial drafts of business plans, financial forecasts, market research, competitive research, etc. For example, if you have a recent comprehensive research report from a major company, our efforts could be significantly reduced.
- Clarity of your vision for your business model, marketing and distribution strategy, financial plan, etc.
- Your availability and willingness to participate in the preparation of business plans, financial models, and presentations.
- The complexity of your industry and business model.
- Availability of industry information.
- The desired time is relative to our workload. In general, “rush” work will cost you a lot more than projects which can be completed according to our schedule.
Due to these factors, the cost for a typical project, which consists of preparing a business plan, financial forecast, and presentation, can range from a few hundred thousand Rupiah to several million Rupiah.
If you do a price comparison, you should know that the cost does not provide all the information. After all, would you choose one product over another just because of the price? Of course not – there are many factors you need to consider.
Is StepNesia worthy enough?
- We have successfully refined several start-up business plans.
- Your time is too valuable: In our experience, most founders need a minimum of tens of hours to create comparable plans and materials. With our help, you can allocate time to focus on other things.
- We can get the same thing done in less time, cheaper than paying other consultants, accountants, lawyers, and managers. Good speakers are easy to find, but a mature and experienced business plan is rare.
We believe that our experience and specialized expertise are more effective and efficient than many other professional services.
What is StepNesia's refund policy?
Subsequent payments are subject to a prorated refund if you choose to discontinue your projects before we fully receive the next payment.
For example, suppose the cost for your projects are divided into 3 payments, each covering 1 hour of service. The initial payment covers the first 1 hour, and the second payment covers the next 1 hour.If you change your mind about such projects After we input and use the 1 hour total, you are entitled to a refund for the second payment because we will only get 1 hour from it.
Will the related work be strictly confidential?
We are very proud that we have never had any complaints regarding client confidentiality.
If our team feels the need to brainstorm with the rest of the team to gain greater insight into a particular situation or find alternative solutions to a difficult problem, names or other identifying information will not be disclosed.
Can StepNesia make equity investments in my business or provide debt financing?
As such, we can support your search for funding in many useful ways, including market research, preparation of a business plan, development of business presentations, and preparation and review of supporting documents.
In some cases, we may arrange for the identification of eligible funding sources. All this kind of work is considered as fee-for-services without any guarantee that the deal will be completed.
We may also work with other financial services companies that specialize in business appraisal and investor recognition (investment banking services for small businesses).

How soon will I see the results?

It usually takes weeks or even months to produce significant changes. However, you will see small improvements in your business over time until a significant overall improvement is achieved.
