STRATEGIC SMALL BUSINESS PLANNING DOCUMENTATION ANALYSIS & PREPARATION SERVICES (Subcontract Corporate Finance & Marketing Management Consulting (IVMA) for the Closely-Held or Family Firm Experiencing or Desiring Emerging Growth and Rapid Revenue Expansion.) Dear NASD Broker-Dealer Principal:        Did you ever have an important client bring you a business plan for a pet project? You're not alone if you have quite a few people wanting you to read various short, incomplete, often not-very-clear presentations, or arriving with long dreary tombs their CPA or attorney might charge thousands of dollars to properly review. They want to invest, or worse yet, want YOU to help them find some money for the 'deal!'        If you've found yourself in this predicament, you can turn to FRRC with confidence. As the complete small business strategic planning and documentation service, we specialize in the preparation and analysis of the full spectrum of business plans and private placement memoranda. We consult with your client, offering appropriate recommendations for action, and specific fee-based proposals, in which your organization participates on a referral-fee basis. More importantly, your clients are treated with great care and sensitivity for your organization's objectives, and you are kept fully informed every step of the way. You participate in the project at your discretion, with the level of specific involvement you determine, on a case by case basis.        Many times clients need a Business Plan for expansion, starting a new business, recruiting executive talent, meeting bankers' requests, or as an internal steering document. You can be sure that we will meet your clients' needs in an expeditious and professional manner producing exactly the perfect, compelling exposition of the project contemplated by your client.        FRRC is a premium service you may offer to your most seasoned, accredited investors which will comprehensively include: marketing research, MIS systems overviews, financial spreadsheets, due diligence and deluxe presentation materials, including web pages, CD-ROM, and 'hard copy!' Your Clients will enjoy FRRC's high level of sophistication and attitude of service not normally associated with Small Business Investment Centres, and the like. (see IVMA) Operating Basis        For a flat, up-front retainer (initial consultation fee) we do the critical review of any document or draft document, or a sketchy plan that could become a document. On deals where your Client is the source of the deal and needs a biz plan for showing to a few of his buddies, ... we do an initial Concept Validation Report (due diligence), with emphasis on market study, feasibility questions, and a proposal for standard Business Plan writing.        On incoming deals, where your client wants to invest ... we do the same initial consult and produce a report with recommendations for client further deal analysis, including structural issues. We then provide a consulting proposal to actually do the due diligence (in concert with outside experts). We never say yea or nay ... you get to say that (if you want), and of course, the Client gets to decide. We just report what we found out, if anything, that merits further study ... or, is a flat out deal killer.        Thus, this represents two aspects of the same analysis. We take deals apart ... We write deals ... We know deals ... Deals are Us. While we don't actually do deals ourselves, we facilitate transactions by documentation, encouragement, professional experience & wisdom delivered with considerable enthusiasm and sensitivity.        Every Project is highly customized, and reflects the highest standards of professionalism. For many years, we were on your 'side of the table,' and conceived of a team approach in which your valuable time is not consumed with non-revenue producing chats about this or that client scheme, while 'hurting no feelings,' nor 'stepping on client toes.' FRRC is the objective third party which will assist you in ensuring that your clients stay happy, get a good value, and you stay informed.        We all know from experience that 'they are going to do it anyway,' regardless of what we say, so let's at least, (as financial advisors), retain some steerage and control, with the minimum expenditure of your time and attention. We look forward to working with your firm and to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Jim Rose Corporate Finance Partner jimbazza@frrconsult.com
