• Business Planning
  
  
  
  For start ups or existing companies looking to expand, a feasibility plan is a quick, inexpensive way to determine if your business idea will be profitable.
  A business plan is more than a document you need for an investor or a bank, it’s also the blueprint of how you will build your business. A solid business plan will take the guess work out of starting your business and make it easier to run. Plus, we will provide you with insights that go beyond the document itself that will make you more confident and successful.
  
  In addition to creating your plan, we can also help you by performing a funding search, whether we are seeking from banks, investors or venture capital firms.
  
  
  Start Up/Implementation Support
  
  
  
  A start up/implementation plan or transition plan is an extension of your business plan that aligns a timeline with all the specific actions you need to take to launch your business. WBP also provides transition assistance to help you deal with unexpected issues.

  Where are your customers? A demographic study featuring the latest information can help you pinpoint them inexpensively. Competitive analysis will let you know who your competition is and where they’re located.

Systemization


Systemization is the process of documenting your business so that others can operate it. Many companies run ‘ad hoc’ meaning that there are no procedures for anything except the most basic operations. The business is dependent on individuals. When those individuals are absent, your business stumbles. Truly successful companies rely on processes and procedures, not individuals. Systemizing your business allows you to hire, train and cross train your company won’t be paralyzed if your staff changes. It provides a basis for measuring you operations to provide quality and consistency. Quality is maximum customer satisfaction with minimum variation in the product or service. Repeatability is the key to consistency. Processes and procedures make repeatability possible.

Business analysis reviews your operations and finds opportunities for optimization. Budgets and tracking cash flows allow you plan your expenditures and track your results. Business rules assign the authority and responsibility to your staff correctly. Business processes outline how the work gets done and how people interact. Procedures are step by step instructions for discrete tasks. WBP can also assist you in the training of your staff in the new rules, processes and procedures.


Business Wellness

By working with your bookkeeper or CPA or one of our partner firms, we can track your financial progress and help you stay out of trouble.

First, metrics development creates the measurements that will be used to track the health of your company. Some are financial and others are performance measurements, such as material lead times or shipments per day. Once the metrics are agreed upon, a monitoring plan is created to assure that the measurements are collected.

Once a month, the financial and performance measurements are sent to WBP for performance review. If the measurements are in limits, no action is needed. If there is trouble brewing, we meet with you immediately to help develop an action plan to turn the situation around.

Business Documents



Anyone in business should have a business entity. Your company is perceived to be more professional, it provides protection against liability and will, over time, allow you to build financial power through corporate credit and retained earnings. WBP can develop your California Limited Liability Company to your specifications quickly and inexpensively.

If your name or tag line is critical to your business, protect it with a trademark. Trademarks are important intellectual property that increases the value of your business.

If you sell services as part of your business, you should have written contracts. WBP can develop the standard contracts you need to protect your business.

Capital is the fuel of any business. Capital can be obtained by exchanging equity (ownership) for money and other assets or securing financing through a bank or other source.

WBP can assist you in obtaining Small Business Administration or conventional funding from banks as well as funding from non-mainstream sources such as angel investors and venture capital or boutique banks. We also have sources for inventory financing and receivables factoring.
