About Us
Smart Business Plans was created in response to the demands of business owners and managers who required easy access, quality yet affordable business planning services.
Having worked with hundreds of business owners and managers, we have a very deep understanding of the challenges that face you in the early stages of developing your business idea, and the following stages as you grow and expand.
We also have significant experience working with all the major banks and financial lenders, as well as private investors, and understand the information they need to see to make their investment decisions. We have helped our clients raise more than $250 million dollars in bank funding and private investment since 2009 (everything from $20k bank loans, to multi-million dollar private investment). Nothing is too big or small.
We know it can feel both exciting and daunting as you establish your business idea. We help you clarify your objectives and develop a business plan targeted to helping you achieve your short term and long term goals.
As a small business ourselves, we understand the risks and rewards of business ownership, and offer you personalised services that are easily accessible from anywhere in New Zealand.
