Business Services

Stater’s focus is offering consulting services to small businesses to get them out of the startup phase and into the next level of success. Our base consulting service will assist owners in creating, or refining, their business plan. Once this is done, we will provide operational support to strengthen the business then add marketing support to create growth.

The creation of the business plan is perhaps Stater’s most important service. We firmly believe that a business plan is a living, breathing document that is birthed from the heart of the owner. As such, it is the foundation for everything that is related to the business and is the most important tool for success.

The Stater method of creating a business plan is very different from other firms. The plan is created with the business owner so that he or she is always a part of the process. Once this is done, the plan will provide a basis for growth and profitability strategies. A list of our services is below.

Business Plan Creation
A written expression of the organization’s purpose will be used as the foundation for growth and development. Plans will range in price depending on complexity of the business and the amount of work that has, or will be, done by the client.

Business Plan Review
A review of the client’s existing business plan and related adjustments to help the organization better express its purpose. Some situations may require that a new plan be created.

Marketing Plan
A plan to improve and clarify the clients’ marketing message, select the appropriate target market and determine which mediums best reach them. Various marketing materials may be created for clients. Stater will create the most important part of the materials, the text. The layout and graphics design will be done in collaboration with partners.

Technology Plan
A plan for using technology to make our client businesses operate more effectively. This will include a review of Internet, telephone and database systems. This can include registering a domain name, building a website, creating text and creating graphics. Other items, such as e-commerce functions or database creation, can also be offered when necessary.

Grant Proposals
For nonprofit organizations, this will be a plan for obtaining funding from partner organizations including departments of federal and local government. Once partners are identified, we will work with the client to compile the grant proposal documents, apply for funds and, if needed, assist in fund administration.
