There are a number of ways a Virtual Assistant can help you create a Business Plan. While there is no way you can escape making the decisions and setting the direction, a Virtual Assistant can take many of the other pressures off you. A Virtual Assistant can help with every stage of the Business Plan process from the preparation to ensuring your business plan remains useful and up-to-date for the life of your business.
Here are just a few of the ways a Virtual Assistant could make your life easier during the production of your Business Plan:
PRE-PRODUCTION
In the preparation phase for your Business Plan a Virtual Assistant can:
- do the research for your business plan
- create a template for your business plan
- source business plans from similar companies for you to review
- help collect and collate the financials for your business plan
PRODUCTION
Once you are ready to create the Business Plan a Virtual Assistant can:
- type your business plan
- find and/or create images, graphics and graphs for your business plan
- edit your draft business plan
- proofread your business plan
- organise the printing, collating and binding of your business plan
POST-PRODUCTION
After your Business Plan has been completed, a Virtual Assistant can:
- ensure that copies of your business plan are distributed to all necessary parties
- diarise and initiate the regular review of your business plan
- research changes in your industry that might impact your business plan
- assist with being sure you’re working towards the correct objectives and initiate review when necessary
Of course, there you may want to do some of these things yourself, or you may have other things you’d want a Virtual Assistant to help with – so the best idea is to talk to your Virtual Assistant and see how they can best help you.
