OUR TOOLS

 

At Business Blueprints, we use a collection of proprietary and non-proprietary tools as an essential part of every strategy we develop and help implement for our clients.

Company Profiles

 

Business Blueprints prepares comprehensive company profiles which provide detailed descriptions of a company's history, its products & services, its employees, its suppliers, its competitors and its customer. Each profile addresses up to 400 critical issues every buyer or lender should know about a seller's business.  

 

Our profiles are used by buyers to analyze opportunities and by borrowers to satisfy underwriting requirements. From detailed information on key suppliers to how a company advertises, insurance requirements to competitive strengths, a Business Blueprints company profile is an essential part of due diligence. Best of all, it can be used as the foundation for a new business plan with limited modifications.

 

A Business Blueprints profile is also a powerful marketing tool to attract qualified buyers. It will help streamline the due diligence process while helping set a company apart from similar opportunities on the market.

 

Video Profiles

 

Online video is the fastest growing and most cost-effective means for delivering news, information and advertising. Worldwide, over 3,000,000,000* videos are viewed on YouTube each day.

 

Business Blueprints now offers affordable video production services to help our clients' businesses stand out from their competitors.

 

Some of our clients use videos to attract prospective buyers, while others use them for advertising, due diligence or educational purposes.

 

All of our videos can be easily embedded on our clients'  websites or uploaded to top Internet sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Vimeo, among others.

Business Plans

 

Writing a business plan from scratch is hard work.  And while a company profile from Business Blueprints can provide an excellent foundation, most borrowers still find the process overwhelming.  Fortunately, Business Blueprints can create a comprehensive business plan, based on a company profile, which will demonstrate a borrower's knowledge, experience and strategy for an existing

company's future. 

 

Our business plans are thorough and comprehensive.  And, unlike plans prepared for start-up operations, our plans are based on factual information and historic data (not fluff).  Best of all, our plans are affordable and can be prepared in days rather than weeks.

 

Loan Packages

 

The proper preparation of a loan package can have a significant impact on the outcome of an application.  At Business Blueprints, we  understand what lenders look for in a loan package and how to satisfy their needs. Our loan packaging program, which includes a complete business plan, is a cost effective way to significantly improve a borrower's potential for loan approval.

 

A typical loan package will include a loan application, a business plan, individual and corporate tax returns, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and much more. 

 

Private Placement Memorandums

 

Private Placement Memorandums (PPMs) are the documents used by business owners to raise private capital. A PPM discloses the risk to the investor and also includes the investment contract known as the "Subscription Agreement."

 

While every private placement memorandum should be reviewed by an attorney, Business Blueprints can help a company save substantial sums of money on the cost of preparation.

 

We can also help manage the private placement process on a company's behalf.

 

Operations Manuals

 

Ever wonder why so many buyers and lenders prefer franchises over existing independent businesses?  After all, a franchise can be very expensive to set up and can take several years before its owner realizes a profit.  By contrast, an existing business has a proven financial track record and is usually priced at a reasonable multiple of past seller earnings.  So why do so many people favor franchises?  To answer that question we need to examine the franchise business model. 

 

At the heart of every franchise system is a successful prototype, which is used by the franchisor as a model for new stores.  Every process and procedure is thoroughly documented in an operations manual to ensure that each new location will operate the same as the prototype.  The better the documentation, the more likely a new owner or franchisee will succeed.

 

By thoroughly documenting a company’s processes and procedures, Business Blueprints can provide a roadmap for the continued success of a business regardless of who owns it. We can also help uncover inefficiencies that negatively impact the business. Small incremental changes can often  lead to significant improvements in product or service quality, reduced costs and increased profitability.
