Business Plan Help for Florida Business Owners
Get a written business plan you will actually use, plus a 30 day launch roadmap, built with Orlando business consultant Chris Poff.
Business plan help from Building Business U means you build the plan with Chris, not alone with a template. In the 30 Day Launch Plan ($1,997) you get a comprehensive business plan, financial projections lenders can follow, and weekly strategy sessions to turn the plan into a launch.
What is included in the 30 Day Launch Plan?
The 30 Day Launch Plan is an intensive program to kickstart your business growth. Over four weeks you and Chris build the plan section by section and decide what to do first.
A comprehensive business plan
Your offer, target customer, pricing, competition, marketing and operations.
The numbers
Startup costs, a break even point and simple 12 month projections a lender can follow.
A funding plan
How much you need, where it can come from and what lenders will ask for.
Weekly sessions with Chris
Working sessions, not lectures, so the plan fits your real situation.
A launch roadmap
The first 90 days of actions in order, with owners and deadlines.
Florida specifics
Sunbiz registration, sales tax, local business tax receipts and seasonality.
Who needs help writing a business plan?
Most owners come to Chris at one of these moments:
- You are starting a business in Florida and want to do it right the first time
- A bank, SBA lender or investor asked for a business plan and projections
- Your side hustle is ready to become a full time company
- You are buying an existing business and need a plan for the first year
- Your business has grown, but the way you run it has not caught up
Why not just use a business plan template or AI tool?
A template can give you headings. It cannot tell you that your pricing leaves no margin, that your market is too small, or that a lender will reject your projections. Chris has helped owners fund, launch and grow businesses, and he pressure tests each assumption with you before anyone else sees the plan.
You still own every word. The goal is a plan you understand well enough to explain to a banker and follow on a busy Tuesday.
What does a Florida business plan need that others might not?
A plan for a Florida business should account for a few state specifics: registering your entity and filing annual reports with the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), collecting sales tax if you sell taxable goods or services, any local business tax receipt your city or county requires, and the seasonal swings that come with Florida tourism and weather. Chris builds these into your timeline and budget so they do not surprise you.

How does the business plan connect to funding?
Lenders read the plan to decide whether you can repay. A clear plan with honest numbers makes conversations with banks and SBA lenders in Florida faster. If you need capital, Chris builds the funding section with the lender’s questions in mind.

Common questions from Florida owners before they get started.
More answers on the FAQ page, or call or text 407-908-8023.
How much does business plan help cost?
The 30 Day Launch Plan is $1,997 and includes the written plan, financial projections and weekly strategy sessions with Chris. If you only need a review of a plan you already wrote, CEO on Call ($500 for up to 2 hours) may be enough.
How long does it take to write a business plan?
With focused weekly sessions, most owners finish a complete plan within the 30 day program. Simple businesses can move faster. Plans that support a large loan or acquisition may need extra time for financials.
Will my business plan work for an SBA loan?
The plan is built to answer the questions SBA lenders ask: what you sell, who buys it, how much you need, how you will repay and what experience you bring. Approval is always the lender’s decision, but a clear plan helps your application.
Do you write the plan for me?
Chris writes it with you. You bring knowledge of your business and customers. He brings structure, numbers and experience, so the final plan reflects your business and you can defend it.
Can you help if I already have a business plan?
Yes. Chris can review and strengthen an existing plan, update the financials, or rebuild the sections a lender flagged. Book a free evaluation and bring what you have.
Do you only help Orlando businesses with business plans?
Chris is based in Orlando and works with owners across Florida. Sessions run by phone or video, so location is rarely a barrier.
