Business Umbrella

MarketingPlanWiz was launched in June 2007 and BusinessPlanWiz launched in 2010.

MarketingPlanWiz

MarketingPlanWiz is an online service designed by CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) qualified experts to help small businesses to build a marketing plan in 9 easy steps. Complete with a unique Action Plan that can be used as a stand-alone document, it has been designed to help develop and grow a business.

As a visitor to the website you don’t have to know how to write a marketing plan if you use MarketingPlanWiz. Carefully constructed questions make sure that you end up with a tailored marketing plan that will stand up to all of your business requirements. A unique Action Plan (which acts as a useful list of things ‘to do’) helps you to achieve your goals. They also don’t end up at the back of the filing cabinet, because they’re designed as working documents that can be added to and changed as necessary.

BusinessPlanWiz

BusinessPlanWiz is also an online service, designed to help small businesses build a business plan. The site operates in the same way as MarketingPlanWiz, with the same easy-to-follow process and this time with a clear business plan delivered at the end of the process, including a cash-flow forecasting tool when you choose to download into MS Word or PDF.

Business plans are usually required if you need to raise finance for your business, start  new venture or launch a new product.  They’re also useful if you’re a home based business, sole trader or starting to employ people. We’ve written the websites specifically so planning is easier and especially straightforward if you’re a small or home based business.

Answer some questions and you’ll have a plan before you know it, without the headache. Better than that, as well as being specific to your business, the plans are easy to follow and use. And they don’t end up at the back of the filing cabinet, because they’re designed as working documents that you can add to and change, even after you’ve finished.

Don’t know how to write a marketing plan or business plan?

You don’t have to if you use our Wiz websites. Just provide answers to the questions. Our carefully constructed questions make sure that you end up with a tailored plan that will stand up to all of your business requirements and a unique Action Plan is included to help you achieve your goals.

Haven’t got time to write a plan for your business?

With Wiz you can usually produce your plan the same day and in a professional format that can be used anywhere, with minimum time out of your diary. To build your plan, you just need to answer a series of questions in easy-to-follow steps and then you’re finished!

Worried that paying for your plan means you can’t change it later?
Absolutely not the case. Your final plan can be saved as a Microsoft Word document (.doc). That way, if you need to, you can add your own logos, or tweak it until it suits whatever purpose you want to use it for. Or you can choose to have a PDF file (but please note, unless you have Adobe Acrobat you will not be able to edit it).

At Business Umbrella we believe your plan really should belong to you!
