Hiring a business plan writer means buying three things: the document, the financial model behind it, and the review rounds that get both to a standard a lender or investor can read. You are hiring a person, not a document factory. The engagement is remote, in English, and quoted per scope after a free consultation.
What "for hire" means here
Some sites sell a writer by the page. You send a questionnaire, receive a document, and discover at submission that the numbers do not reconcile.
This engagement works the other way round. The first conversation is about the funding decision, not the word count. Before anything is drafted, we establish:
- who reads the document and what they are deciding;
- how much is being raised and what it buys;
- what evidence already exists — quotes, leases, accounts, contracts;
- what the deadline is, and whether it is fixed.
If the assumptions do not support the ask, I say so before drafting. That conversation is cheaper than a rejected application.
What you receive
| Deliverable | What it is |
|---|---|
| Business plan | A complete document in Word and PDF, structured around the funding route |
| Financial model | An Excel workbook with visible assumptions, formulas and scenarios |
| Market and competitor section | Research with sources, and a clear note where evidence is secondary |
| Funding ask | An amount mapped to line items, not a round number |
| Two revision rounds | Structured review and revision within the agreed scope |
| Final files | Delivered by email once the payment terms in the written scope are met |
The model matters as much as the prose. A plan that cannot be updated after the first month of trading has a short useful life.
The process
- Enquiry. Send the form with the funding purpose, stage and deadline. I reply within one working day.
- Free 30-minute scoping call. We agree the reader, the scope, the inputs and the timeline. No writing happens in this call.
- Written scope and quote. Deliverables, inputs required, revision rounds, price and currency. Nothing starts on a verbal estimate.
- Payment. Standard plans are paid in full in advance. Larger scopes can be staged in writing, with the first stage paid up front. PayPal or Payoneer, confirmed with each client before quoting.
- Draft. Research, writing and the model are produced together, and you receive a draft for review rather than waiting until the end.
- Two revision rounds. You consolidate comments; I revise within scope.
- Final delivery. Plan and model files in the agreed formats.
Two revision rounds, defined
A revision round is a consolidated set of comments on the draft. It covers:
- corrections of fact or wording;
- clarifications that make an existing argument clearer;
- changes consistent with the agreed scope;
- updates to inputs that were not available at the first draft.
It does not cover:
- a new business idea or a different funding route;
- a second plan for a different audience;
- new research outside the agreed scope;
- unlimited redrafts after the final files are issued.
Defining this before the engagement starts prevents the most common disagreement in writing work.
Remote and English-only
The consultancy is remote. There is no office in Jeddah, Riyadh or anywhere else in Saudi Arabia, and no address is presented as one.
Calls happen online or by phone, in the overlap between Pakistan and Gulf business hours. Documents are exchanged by email. WhatsApp is available on the consultant's own business line, which is a US number — it is not a Saudi line and it is not a local office.
The work is English-only. If a submission requires Arabic, the document can be prepared in English and translated by a qualified translator; I do not provide that translation.
What it costs
There is no fixed price, because a 20-page plan for a single-site business and a 45-page plan with a multi-year funding schedule are not the same job.
The quote is built from five things:
| Factor | What changes |
|---|---|
| Length and sections | A short internal plan versus a full lender document |
| Research depth | Published sources only, or structured competitor and segment work |
| Financial model | Simple projections versus scenarios, working capital and debt |
| Sector | Regulated or technical businesses take longer to research |
| Timeline | A compressed deadline needs resource reordered around it |
Pricing is quoted per scope after the free consultation. The currency and payment method are confirmed in writing before the quote. No price is published on this site, and no payment is taken through the website.
Who this suits — and who it does not
It suits founders who:
- have a funding decision with a real deadline;
- have, or can gather, the inputs the plan needs;
- want the model and the narrative to agree;
- would rather be challenged on an assumption than flattered.
It does not suit founders who:
- need a document in 24 hours;
- want a template filled with optimistic numbers;
- need Arabic-language work;
- want a guarantee of approval or investment.
How to vet a business plan writer
| Question | A good answer | A warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Who writes the document? | The person you are speaking to | "Our team", with no names |
| Can I see a full sample? | A complete document, labelled as a sample | Cover images only |
| How is the model built? | An editable workbook with visible assumptions | A table of numbers in the plan |
| What happens if the numbers do not work? | An honest conversation before drafting | A promise to "make it work" |
| What is not included? | A clear list | Everything is included, always |
| How many revisions? | A stated number, with scope defined | "Unlimited" with no definition |
The last two are the most revealing. A writer who cannot describe the boundaries of the service has either not thought about them or is avoiding the question.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hire a business plan writer?
Pricing is quoted per scope after a free 30-minute consultation. Length, research depth, financial modelling and timeline all change the work, so no fixed price is published.
How long does it take?
A standard plan usually takes two to four weeks once all inputs are in hand. Larger scopes and feasibility-first engagements take longer.
How many revisions are included?
Two revision rounds. They cover corrections, clarifications and changes within the agreed scope, not a new business idea halfway through.
Can you write in Arabic?
No. The service is English-only. If your submission requires Arabic, I will say so rather than machine-translate a funding document.
