Here are 3 resources for businesses, from sole proprietorship to medium-sized. The right form or plan can make a business flourish and operate better while giving the people in the business unified direction. I am a business creative and after 30 years working in and for businesses of many sizes, I have not reused or repurposed any of my forms or plans, as all of them had been uniquely designed to fit the purpose and the business. I am now sharing these in the spirit of sustainability, reuse, repurpose and reduce. It takes time to make these resources and I am sharing my past time with you. I can share my present time with you when you sign up for Time Spots. Go to the link below and we can make these fit your purpose and business.
Cleaning Business Form
This form sets up the cash cycle and how clients can pay while keeping costs down. It adds fraud and collection protection by requiring a DL, driver's license. It introduces "GIFT my SERVICE" as a way for Payees to GIFT the SERVICE to Clients/End User. This form allows for flexibility in quoting and it doubles as a Client Service Agreement. It also collects important details that affect higher quotes like number of bathrooms and square feet. And there is a privacy clause at the bottom of the form to assure Clients their home is kept safe.
Specialty Bakery Business Plan
This document can be used to see what is needed in a Business Plan in order to attract outside funds from banks, venture capitalist or equity lenders. This plan received 50% above what it was asking.

The results of the research are shown in the plan and were used to gain the competitive advantage this bakery would use to compete in their local market.
