Guerilla Gear's Thoughts


As I looked more into Mr. John A. Troland, the more I feel that this person would be a great help to Guerilla Gear. Since Mr. Troland has been in the T.V. business for over 18 years and has helped write numerous successful business plans, he would be an ideal candidate when seeking information for Guerilla Gear’s business plan.
Looking at the questions that John has answered and it is clear that he wants to help. Every question that was posed to him was answered with as much information as he could give. Questions that were about business plans, he wanted those individuals to contact him directly at either his 800 number or his personal email. Even questions that didn’t pertain to business plans were answered with any help he could provide.  
After looking at Mr. Troland’s answers, I feel that providing a T.V. treatment along with my business plan to potential investors could greatly help. By having a treatment already written, this would show investors that Guerilla Gear is serious about getting the business going.
When presenting Guerilla Gear’s business plan, I think the most important part of it is going to be the inclusion of new products. By showing that we will continuously offer new products, investors can feel safe that the company will do everything in its power to make sure that it keeps its doors open and can also bring in a profit on a consistent basis.

Help with Writing Your Business Plan


Writing a business plan can be a very tricky and delicate matter. To help me with this, I decided to look for some help. This is when I came across the website www.allexperts.com. At this site, I was able to find some help in writing business plans. What I really liked about this page was the quick and precise info they had on each expert provided. The various areas that they are rated on are also a very helpful feature of the site.
The first expert I was looking at was John A. Troland. He produces a live one-hour cable access show called “Business Beat Live” which is aired in Connecticut. What intrigues me about him is that he can help in answering questions about how to get a new television show off the ground. Guerilla Gear plans on getting involved in doing some sort of video production. This will not only show off what our products can do but can also provide another source of income. By having some help in knowing what to include in my business plan for a show can only help in my benefit.
The other expert I looked at was named Leo Lingham. With over 18 years in management of numerous areas of business planning and over 24 years in consulting in those numerous areas of business planning, Mr. Lingham has seen pretty much any situation when creating a business plan. He is a virtual fountain of knowledge and is will to help out and answer whatever question a person may have.
A critical and key component that any business plan needs is a well-written executive summary. The executive summary section is the first thing any investor sees. It needs to be designed and written to capture the reader’s attention and yet provide only enough information to make the reader to want to continue on. Also, getting to the point is a must. Don’t beat around the bush and hint at the amount of funding you are seeking. In the minds of investors, time is money. The less time of theirs you take up and yet get your business idea across clearly and prove that there is potential with the venture, the more likely you are to achieve your funding goal.
