Will Business Plans Made Easy make my transition from corporate to entrepreneur seamless?
Absolutely!
Our step-by-step system guides you through every aspect of crafting a strategic, investor-ready business plan tailored to your unique goals. We provide templates, examples, and plenty of hand-holding to make the process as smooth and simple as possible.
Can I truly write a winning business plan with no prior experience?

We walk you through building financial projections, identifying target markets, crafting marketing plans, and more.
You’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to write a winning plan.
Will your program help me secure funding from investors?
At Business Plans Made Easy, our core focus is helping entrepreneurs bootstrap their startups. While our financial forecasting, marketing plans, and other components can support seeking investors, we specialize in DIY approaches.
Our step-by-step process is designed to help you strategically launch and grow through lean, cost-effective strategies versus outside funding.
We guide you in making realistic cost projections, maximizing existing resources, identifying low-cost alternatives, and mapping an organic growth path to profitability.
The business plan we help you create will be an invaluable roadmap for bootstrapping your venture successfully, although the process may differ somewhat from a more investor-focused approach.
Our specialty is equipping you with the knowledge and plan to build your business on your terms.
Do you offer personalized guidance and support throughout the process?
Personal guidance and support are the heart of our program. You won’t just get a business plan template – you’ll have your dedicated business coach to provide expert feedback, answer all your questions, and offer the ongoing mentoring you deserve.
During our personalized coaching calls, we’ll craft strategies tailored just for you.
You can lean on us for guidance each step of the way so you never have to feel alone on this journey.
We’re invested in your success and will be here to support you every step of the way.
What if I get stuck or encounter unexpected challenges?
Our founder, Kristina Portella, knows firsthand how discouraging and frustrating it can feel to get stuck or run into an unexpected obstacle. When she was starting, she would agonize over roadblocks rather than seeking help.
Her goal is to anticipate the likely hurdles so you can smoothly navigate them together.
But entrepreneurship is unpredictable, which is why we’re here to lean on when you need guidance, reassurance, or just a listening ear.
With our partnership, you can feel inspired rather than defeated.
