Business Plan Canvas (Startup Canvas)
Capture your Business Model in as little as two pages.

The Startup Canvas is designed to start sketching initial thoughts and plans for a business idea. It’s a quick and easy way to write a Professional Business Plan. It’s a framework to define your startup easier and faster by Value proposition, Problem, Solution, Market, Team, Marketing Channels, Customer Segment, External Risks, and Key Performance Indicators.

Fast
Compared to writing a Business Plan which can take several weeks or months, you can outline multiple possible business models on a canvas in a few days.

Portable
A single page business model is much easier to share with others, which means it will be read by more people and more frequently updated.

Concise
The Business Plan Canvas forces you to refine the essence of your product or service. You have 40 seconds to grab the attention of an investor during a metaphorical elevator ride, and 10 seconds to grab the attention of a customer on your landing page.

Effective
Quickly test if the rough numbers indicate an idea worth pursuing.
Investor Pitch Deck
The story you tell about your idea, team and concept is what will ultimately determine if your Pitch Deck is appealing or not. Primarily used by existing companies to convey an idea or new project to stakeholders, and startup companies presenting a new business venture or idea, a Pitch Deck is of vital importance.

A Pitch Deck (in cases referred to as a Prospectus), is a brief presentation (created using PowerPoint), that provides your audience with a professional overview of your Professional Business Plan. You will generally use your Pitch Deck during face-to-face or online meetings with potential investors, customers, partners, and co-founders. If your audience doesn’t have the time or inclination to read through a lengthy Business Plan, an Investor Pitch Deck will most certainly be the best alternative.

SME Coaching and Consultation
JTB is so much more than just a Business Plan Company. Commonly, businesses that have not found a business coach or a mentor haven’t done so because they believe it’s a costly relationship they can’t afford. The truth is, this is a relationship that you can’t do without.

As an entrepreneur, you started as a specialist: You had a great idea for a business, and you launched. As a newfound business owner, you’re now stuck with the job of the generalist. This can work for a while, but you’ll soon realise that you don’t have time to stay on top of all the things you need to do, or challenges too complicated for your experience. You can continue to hack it, or you can get some help.

As SME Coaches, we help your business tackle specific tasks and objectives. The relationship with a business coach is most often short term, but we help set the targets and determine the number of sessions needed to meet your goals. Our SME Coaching and Consultation Session can be conducted face-to-face, via telephone, Skype or Video Chat.
Market Research
An integral part of our Business Plan Writing Service is our market research. Depending on your specific needs, we conduct comprehensive (desktop/secondary) market research. A detailed market- and industry analysis reveals not only valuable information and facts on the market but also competitors, clients, risks, opportunities and the overall attractiveness of the business venture. Our dedicated Market Research Team supports our Business Plan Consultants with invaluable market insights, strategic advice, and recommendations on your business venture.

Market Research is essential for the survival and growth of your business. It enables you to improve the competitive nature of your business and reduce your risks. Far too many companies embark on projects or ventures without proper market research. Good entrepreneurs are, in fact, risk minimisers rather than risk-takers, and market research is the primary tool that enables you to reduce risks. Our team can conduct desktop market research across most countries, industries, and markets at a fraction of the price it would cost you to engage a primary market research consultancy.

Financial Projections

No prior business experience or not good with numbers? No problem. With JTB Consulting you don’t have to worry about navigating complex spreadsheets. Whether you are starting a business or are already operating, we’ve got you covered with our extensive forecasting options.

The duration of the project is dependent on numerous variables, including the time you need to provide us with feedback on the initial information we request from you. The turnaround time and project completion date will be confirmed once we have received all the requested initial information from you and will be based on our Project Schedule and Project Commitments at that time.

We will also send our Client Questionnaire requesting initial information from you regarding the strategy and finances of your business venture.

You are more than welcome to contact your Business Plan Consultant should you have any questions throughout the management of your Project. Once we receive the completed Client Questionnaire, and all supporting documentation from you, your dedicated Business Plan Consultant will review the information within three (3) working days.

STEP 3

Once we have received and reviewed all the requested information, your Business Plan Consultant will schedule a Strategic Consultation (Briefing) Session with you. The purpose would be to further explore the details of your business venture, strategy and also analyse and discuss the information received from you.

The Briefing Session will be held via Telephone or Videoconference (currently, no face-to-face meetings will be held during the National lockdown period).

STEP 4

Your Business Plan Consultant conducts Secondary (Desktop) Market Research, design a unique Financial Projections Model and writes your Business Plan. You will receive regular updates via telephone or email on the progress of your project. Moreover, should you have any questions, you are more than welcome to contact us via email, WhatsApp, Videoconference, and telephone during the duration that our team manages your Project.

STEP 5

We confirm the completion of your Professional Business Plan (which will be completed within the agreed project completion date). Upon receipt of the final payment (which is required within no more than 7 days following formal notification of completion), the Business Plan is submitted to you via email, in editable Microsoft Word format.

STEP 6

As part of our Customer Satisfaction Guarantee, you have 14 days from the date of completing your Business Plan to contact our team to discuss any aspects of your Business Plan. During these two weeks, you may also request minor changes, which our team will attend to for free. This proposition is part of our Post-Project Guarantee Policy (The two week period starts from the date on which you receive formal notification from JTB Consulting that your Business Plan has been completed).
