Business and Marketing Plans

It's your business we're talking about here. Whether you're just starting out or already well-established in the community, a business plan and marketing plan is essential for owners to borrow funds from their financial institution. These reports are basically the framework and overall history of your company, as well as the strategies for selling and marketing your goods and/or services to the public. How well you know your organization and your future for that organization play a key role in obtaining a bank loan or private funding.

And that's where we come in. Scribes Unlimited takes the time to go over with you exactly what your company is, and we don't stop until we know your company as well as you should. With interesting and thought provoking words, above-average graphics, and important documents and forms, we can guarantee you business or marketing plans that you can literally "take to the bank."

Our business plans merit attention because we combine the graphics and key facts and figures investors and bankers want to see, with the detailed, professional and eloquent style of writing that illustrates your project perfectly. Your business plan will include:

• Extensive and Detailed Executive Summary
• Product and/or Service Summary
• Complete Marketing and Market Analysis
• Competition Analysis
• Management and Personnel Evaluation
• Full Financial Data and Future Projections
• Accurate current valuation of your business
• Detailed and easy-to-understand charts and tables

Grant Writing

Grants and proposals are essential for persons and organizations wanting funds for such things as equipment, project funding, operating capital, endowments, special interests, events, scholarships and much more.

While there is no guarantee of funding, a well-written grant proposal can include these added benefits for your organizations and individuals.

• Improved record-keeping systems
• Enhanced credibility
• Clarity of goals
• Development of tangible objectives
• Increased program-area knowledge
• Better program evaluations and increased financial management

Scribes Unlimited offers you a comprehensive grant-writing package, from research and analysis to planning for the future, and every step in-between. Our careful grant writers create proposals that fit your organization and define your needs. We develop lists of appropriate public and private funders whose goals are similar to yours. We have access to one of the finest foundation libraries in the world, as well as plenty of online experience to search out funders not as well-known.

Script-writing and Script Doctoring

Okay you've got this great idea for a movie, series, or video project. Cameras are ready to roll, the lights are on and you sit there shaking your head. Why? Because someone didn't write a script! A script is essential for any high-quality production. It provides not only the sights and the sounds, but the overall framework of the idea you are trying to relate to the audience.

Did someone call for a script? We've written them! Everything from short video projects of enterprising individuals to training scripts for companies, and major undertakings such as educational scripts for public television and motion picture films.

If you already have a finished script that you would like us to analyze for content and structure, we can do that too. We offer three types of analysis:

• Basic Analysis consisting of up to five pages of documentation, an hour of phone consultation (or in-person meeting at client's expense), and an element by element rating of your script. $250
• Mid-Level Analysis consisting of up to seven pages of documentation, up to 90 minutes of consultation by phone or in person, (at client's expense), our elemental rating report, and one FREE re-write reading with up to two additional pages of documentation. $650
• Advanced Analysis consisting of up to 10 pages of documentation, an intensive scene-by-scene analysis, up to 2 1/2 hours of phone consultation, one FREE re-write with added notes and phone consultation, and discounts on further re-writes. $15 per page, $1,000 minimum

Technical Writing

All right, let's get technical for a moment here... Are you good with putting down instructions or procedures into legible, completely understandable form? Do you have the know-how to write business profile papers and employee instructions? Can you deliver a solid, well-written speech to an audience? Are your scientific reports sparkling? These are all examples of technical writing; the business of writing to instruct or relay information. And it's a blooming business. Are you looking a bit glum all of a sudden, perhaps a bit panicked? No problems here. Scribes Unlimited gets technical, and yet approaches your idea from both sides, the writer and the reader or listener. We develop everything from employee handbooks all the way up to big speeches for major politicians.

Creative Writing

Scribes Unlimited also adds a distinct feature we like to call creative consulting. We can supply you with ideas, characters, story outlines, backgrounds: the elements of writing in almost any form. Magazine articles, short stories, movie reviews, critiques, and sidebar columns in local newspapers are just a few samples of work we've done in the past. So as you can probably tell, we've certainly done are share of putting down the black dots. :-)  If there's something that's not on this list that you still need done, chances are we've already done it for someone --  and trust us, we can do it just as well for you too.  If you're not too sure, contact us about your project. We'll listen!
