Question 1

What is FundedPlan?

Accepted Answer

FundedPlan is a professional business plan writing service built specifically for SBA 7(a) and conventional bank loan applications. We assign a dedicated project manager and three analysts to your plan. You receive a complete, lender-ready package: a PowerPoint pitch deck, a Word business plan document, and an Excel financial model.

Question 2

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Our service is designed for business owners who need a polished, professional business plan to apply for an SBA 7(a) loan or a conventional bank loan. Whether you are starting a new business or expanding an existing one, we write the plan your lender expects to see.

Question 3

Who writes the plans?

Accepted Answer

Every plan is produced by a dedicated team of four: a project manager who coordinates your plan, a pitch deck analyst, a business plan writer, and a financial analyst. All team members have direct experience in banking and commercial lending.

Question 4

Is this a template I fill in myself?

Accepted Answer

No. Every business plan we produce is custom-written from scratch based on your specific business, market, and financial situation. We do not use fill-in-the-blank templates. You provide the details through our questionnaire, and we do all the writing, research, and financial modeling.

Question 5

What industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We work with a wide range of businesses including restaurants, bakeries, retail stores, laundromats, auto repair shops, childcare centers, salons, fitness studios, franchises, and many more. If your business needs an SBA 7(a) or bank loan, we can write the plan for it.

Question 6

How long does it take to get my business plan?

Accepted Answer

Your complete business plan package is delivered within 5 days after you submit your questionnaire. We will keep you updated on progress, and if we have any follow-up questions, we will reach out promptly so there are no delays.

Question 7

What do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

After placing your order, you will receive a structured questionnaire that takes about 15 minutes to complete. It covers your business concept, target market, management team, and financial expectations. No prior business planning experience is needed. Just answer in your own words and we handle the rest.

Question 8

Can I request revisions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every order includes unlimited revisions at no extra cost. After you review your plan, send us your feedback and we will make the changes. Most clients need only minor adjustments, if any.

Question 9

What happens after I complete the questionnaire?

Accepted Answer

Once we receive your completed questionnaire, our team begins drafting your plan immediately. You will receive a confirmation email with your estimated delivery date. We may reach out with a few clarifying questions within the first 24 hours to make sure we have everything we need.

Question 10

Do you need any documents from me?

Accepted Answer

The questionnaire covers everything we need to get started. If you have existing financial statements, a lease agreement, or a franchise disclosure document, those can be helpful but are not required. We will let you know if anything additional would strengthen your plan.

Question 11

What is included in the PowerPoint deck?

Accepted Answer

The PowerPoint is a professionally designed business plan presentation covering your executive summary, company overview, market analysis, products and services, marketing strategy, management team, and financial projections. It is formatted for both lender meetings and investor presentations.

Question 12

What is included in the Word document?

Accepted Answer

The Word document contains the same comprehensive content as the PowerPoint but in the traditional written format that most lenders prefer for their files. It is structured with clear headings, professional formatting, and is ready to submit directly to your bank or SBA 7(a) lender.

Question 13

What is included in the Excel financial model?

Accepted Answer

The Excel workbook includes five-year revenue and expense projections, a detailed startup cost breakdown, cash flow analysis, profit and loss statements, a balance sheet, debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) calculations, and break-even analysis. All formulas are transparent and editable.

Question 14

What file formats will I receive?

Accepted Answer

You will receive three files: a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx), a Word document (.docx), and an Excel workbook (.xlsx). These are standard Microsoft Office formats that work with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and most other office software.

Question 15

Is the plan SBA 7(a) compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plan we write is structured to meet SBA 7(a) requirements and the expectations of commercial lenders. If your lender ever comes back with a compliance concern about the plan we delivered, we will revise it at no additional charge.

Question 16

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The complete business plan package is $1,500, a flat rate with no surprises. That includes your PowerPoint deck, Word document, Excel financial model, and unlimited revisions. There is nothing else to buy.

Question 17

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe, our secure payment processor. Your payment information is encrypted and never touches our servers. You will receive a receipt by email immediately after payment.

Question 18

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

If we have not yet started work on your plan, you can request a full refund. Once drafting has begun, we are committed to delivering a plan you are satisfied with. That is why we include unlimited revisions. We stand behind our work and will keep revising until it meets your expectations.

Question 19

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. The $1,500 price covers everything: the complete three-document package, research, financial modeling, and unlimited revisions. We do not charge extra for specific industries, complex projections, or rush delivery within our standard timeframe.

Question 20

How do I submit the plan to my lender?

Accepted Answer

Simply forward the files to your loan officer or upload them to your lender's portal. The Word document is what most banks want in their loan file, the PowerPoint is great for in-person meetings, and the Excel model lets them dig into your numbers. We format everything to be ready to send as-is.

Question 21

What if my lender asks for changes?

Accepted Answer

Your plan includes unlimited revisions at no extra cost. If your lender requests changes, send them our way and we'll handle them promptly. We keep revising until you and your lender are completely satisfied.

Question 22

What is DSCR and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It measures whether your projected cash flow is large enough to cover your loan payments. Lenders typically want to see a DSCR of 1.25 or higher, meaning your business earns $1.25 for every $1.00 in debt payments. Our financial model calculates this automatically.

Question 23

Will the plan guarantee I get approved?

Accepted Answer

No business plan can guarantee loan approval because lenders evaluate many factors including your personal credit, collateral, and industry risk. What we can guarantee is that your plan will be professionally written, financially sound, and structured exactly the way lenders expect, giving you the best possible chance.

Question 24

How does the referral program work?

Accepted Answer

If you are a loan broker or business consultant, you can refer your clients to FundedPlan through our referral program. We handle the entire process: your client fills out the questionnaire, we write the plan, and they receive a lender-ready package. You stay focused on the loan while we handle the paperwork.

Question 25

Is there a referral commission?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer a referral fee for every client you send our way who completes an order. Reach out to us directly to discuss our referral program terms and set up your referral tracking. Volume discounts are available for partners who send multiple clients per month.

Question 26

Do you offer co-branded plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For referral partners, we can add your firm's logo and branding to the business plan deliverables so they look like a seamless part of your service offering. This is available at no extra cost for active referral partners. Contact us to learn more.
