Level I Business Plan Service

“I came to Frank Goley for help with a strategic business plan for my insurance marketing company.  I had researched many other business consultants but found him and his team best suited for our needs. Right from the start I was impressed that Frank had familiarized himself with the company before his initial meeting with us.

He demonstrated a basic understanding of the insurance marketing business and was successful in helping our company identify areas that needed improvement and to develop a plan of action including the metrics to measure accountability.

It was very enjoyable to work with Frank. He immediately created a rapport with upper management and staff and has an easy style while always staying professional.

I would highly recommend ABC Business Consulting to other businesses who are in need of a solid strategic plan because they really listen to your needs and always do what they say they are going to do.”

— Jane L McCarty, Chairman of the Board, Brokers International

“I worked with Frank Goley, CEO of ABC Business Consulting, on several international projects in the last few years. He is knowledgeable and hardworking. Frank provided thoughtful, actionable advice based on his highly relevant experience as a business consultant and entrepreneur.

His sales and marketing experience helped us successfully reach large corporate accounts.

I am impressed by his insights on the international marketing front, and his in-depth analysis of start-up businesses.”

— Cheng Chao, Senior Partner, SinoStep; CEO, ChineseTrans

“My experience with ABC Business Consulting has been a methodical one. Not one detail was overlooked or taken for granted when they developed my business plan. Frank Goley’s thorough business planning process not only provided him with the information he needed to develop the business plan, but it also helped me obtain a clearer vision of what I’m trying to achieve with a sharper view on the road ahead.

The process seemed to be a daunting one to say the least, especially trying to do it from the Gulf Region of the Middle East. But with Frank it could not have been made easier. It was as if I was in his office every day.

Currently, I’m in the process of obtaining business licenses to make my start up dreams a reality. Once my business is fully legal to operate, it’s full steam ahead.

Thank you to Frank and his team for all their work and dedication in assisting dreamers like me.”

Kind regards…

— Jonathan Pujols, Founder of 4Dimensional Solutions Group

“I came to Frank Goley, CEO of ABC Business Consulting, with an idea that I have been developing for the luxury hotel hospitality space. I knew I had to have a solid business plan to make my idea a reality and raise the necessary funding for the venture. I worked on the “planning” myself for several months, and developed a lot of intel and information. However, I lacked a cohesive process to develop a viable business plan which I could take to investors and VC.

Frank helped me through his proven and highly engaged business planning process to develop the foundation of information from which good business plan development could commence.  Frank and his business planning team did a great job in developing the necessary research to support realistic assumptions and a solid business model, from which they developed a great financial model and business plan.

It is awesome to see my idea come to fruition in a comprehensive business plan, which will be a great tool to help me raise the investment funding my venture requires. I look forward to working with Frank over the long term, taking advantage of his business coaching and consulting expertise as I advance my start up.

Thanks Frank for a great business plan and the critically important advice along the way!”

— J Vin Vera, CEO, JVin Ventures

“As a business owner, I have so many thoughts and ideas about how to make my business better. The problem was that I kept spinning my wheels trying to figure out which ideas were the ones I should run with or run away from. Frank Goley’s coaching and consulting helped me focus. He gave me frank and honest feedback, which is exactly what I needed. Mr. Goley asked me questions about my business to get an in-depth understanding about how to help me implement a comprehensive strategy. Equipped with information, he created a very specific business analysis with recommendations from which to take action-steps.

Even though Frank was thousands of miles away, he was able to do local market research, which gave me great clarity about where to target my marketing. Because of Frank, I now have a web presence with targeted branding.

In addition to everything I previously mentioned, Frank also provided me with the following services:

  • CMS (WordPress) Set Up & Training
  • Logo Design
  • Custom Blog Design & Development
  • SEO Strategy
  • Internet Marketing Strategy

Now I am much clearer about how to utilize the power of the internet as a part of my overall marketing strategy.

If you are tired of spending money on a great idea that you hope works out for you, contact Frank Goley at ABC Business Consulting because he will help you. Although you may not always agree with his advice, just consider the fact that you are looking for solutions to improve your business for a reason. I am an expert in the insurance and financial services industry, but I wasn’t an expert marketer. I reached out to a consultant to give me coaching, and I finally realized that I needed to listen to Frank’s advice and implement his strategies.

In today’s competitive market, if your market does not know about you, it is just a matter of time before you are forced to close your doors. Before that happens, seek the guidance of someone like Frank who can help you move your business in the right direction.”

— Len Cooper Ph.D., Senior Marketing Director & Owner, Your Insurance Experts / PHP Agency

“I first came to Frank Goley at ABC Business Consulting with an idea for a food business, but I was a little scattered on how to bring it to fruition. Frank gave me great advice and helped me stay on track. My business plan was completed fast and efficiently. I hope to work with Frank again in the future.”

 — Angela Nixon, Entrepreneur, Auntie Angels Deli

“After completing extensive research on several business plan consulting and business plan writing firms, I called some of them to discuss their services. I became very confused as the prices vary quite a bit from one business planning provider to the other. The prices were a wide range, from $200.00 to $10,000. I did not know who to choose as each company, from the lowest priced to the most expensive ones, was telling me almost the same story. I finally decided to go with ABC Business Consulting after conversing with Frank Goley who clearly explained the business plan consulting and writing industry to me, and why there is such a variance in pricing.

Initially my main reason for choosing ABC Business Consulting was not that I was convinced that they may do a better work than any other one else (as I had not done business with ABC before), but because they were in Virginia, in proximity to me, so it would be easier to meet them in person if I needed to. Fortunately, I never had to travel to meet with ABC because they handled all the business planning remotely for me exceedingly well.

During the whole business planning process, I was talking with the main ABC business plan consultant: Mr. Frank Goley. This made communication clear, and I received a lot of great advice from Frank throughout the planning engagement. When I filled out their business plan questionnaire, I was wondering if Frank is not the only one working on the business plan. I was asking myself if I will have to give him all the business plan information, and he would just put in good vocabulary for the business plan. He asked me some more follow up questions, and I was saying to myself again: “Is this guy going to do my business plan work, or I’m doing it myself?” (little did I know at the time how extensive the work ABC performs for its comprehensive Level 4 business plan clients)

When I received my Comprehensive Level 4 Business plan, I said: “Wow! Wow! Wow!” It was an awesome job! Frank and his business planning team did a lot of research, added a lot more salient information, and the business plan was professionally designed and polished. In the end I understood that Frank’s questionnaire and his follow up questions helped me to better understand my project. Where I was confused to make a decision, Frank helped me out with solid advice.

Now I believe 100% in what Frank was explaining to me when I first hired him to develop my business plan.  ABC developed, wrote and designed a comprehensive 102 page business plan, along with a Business Plan PowerPoint presentation, an external (additional) Executive Summary, and an awesome Flip Book Flash Version of the Business Plan. Every time I asked Frank to make some modifications or corrections, it was done very promptly (very few updates were needed).

I would recommend anyone who has a big, medium or small project (or business) to hire ABC Business Consulting for their business plan development.

Thank you ABC Business Consulting!”

— Hilaire Ntiganzwa, CEO, AEA-SOLEMS

“I came to ABC Business Consulting to develop an Investor Business Plan for my new alcohol beverage product after I researched several consulting firms. It was a pleasure working with Frank Goley during the business plan development. Frank provided very helpful advice during the business planning process. I am not a big numbers guy so I really appreciated ABC’s help in developing sophisticated financials that were grounded in realistic assumptions. Although I purchased an intermediate business plan level, the consulting assistance I received was comprehensive and the business plan I received was exceptional. The plan contained a lot of in-depth market and industry research to build a solid foundation for the assertions made in the plan.

The completed business plan really exceeded all my expectations. The business plan has an awesome design; plenty of great substance; reads extremely well; makes an excellent case for my product and opportunity; and contains a sophisticated financial section backed by solid assumptions. The sample business plans featured on the ABC website really don’t do justice to the incredible finished plan you receive from them! The business plan I received from ABC Business Consulting was perfect and did not need any changes or re-works, which speaks a lot to the quality of their business planning process and expertise. ABC Business Consulting business plan consultants, writers and designers definitely offer a “best in class” business planning solution.

I really enjoyed working one-on-one with Frank throughout the business planning process. Frank handled all communications and project management with the business planning team, providing me very high level consulting and coaching advice, while producing a great plan in a timely fashion, always keeping me updated throughout the process. ABC offers an individual high touch environment with a big solution result, which I find quite unique and refreshing.

I will continue working with Frank and ABC Business Consulting well into the future and have already hired them again to handle my website design and development. If you are looking to raise funds for your venture and need an excellent business plan, give Frank at ABC a call, it will be the best decision you have made for the success of your business. Thanks Frank for all your help and an incredible business plan!”

— Robert Tushinsky, President / Founder, 2XL Swagger Brands

“When we first hired Mr. Frank Goley of ABC Business Consulting several months ago, we were effectively closed down for business for well over a year, and waiting for a start over in a new market (Architectural design services in the real estate development market in China) as a business come back. We came to Frank with poor knowledge of marketing, business planning, and a lousy website which was self-edited based on a cheap template, as well as, tons of questions of “why the phone never rings?” and “why no traffic is coming to our website at all?”

With Frank’s help, we now are positioned to get back on our feet again and start regeneration of our architect firm. I would love to say ‘thank you’ to Frank for what he’s done so far for our architectural firm, and we will definitely keep on consulting with him as our business coach and mentor well into the future.”

— Angie S.H., President, Aphronze

“I would like to thank you Mr. Goley for making the extra effort with my business plan.  The world of business is cut throat and the slightest misstep by an inexperienced entrepreneur can lead to a good idea becoming a waste of time and energy.  Mr. Goley has the expertise and knowledge that allows for your great idea to become a great business.  He told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted, as well as, pointing me in the right direction for my future business endeavors.”

— Foster Fox, Entrepreneur

“I am trying to grow my solar energy and energy efficiency company in a recession. It’s a challenge! I decided I needed a comprehensive approach and assistance from an experienced consultant. I searched on the internet for “business consultant” and found Frank Goley of ABC Business Consulting. After a few discussions with Frank on what I needed and what I was looking for, he presented to me a comprehensive business success solution that included:

1) Development and implementation of a Business Plan, Marketing Plan and Strategic Plan

2) Business Success Analysis & Recommendations

3) Intensive Onsite Business Consulting

4) Design and Development of a new Website to include a custom WordPress Content Management System

5) Search Engine Optimization

6) Internet Marketing Solutions

Not only did Frank work closely with me to develop these strategies, but he has also implemented these strategies into real world solutions which reflect the strategic direction of my solar company. The comprehensive planning, consulting and implementation approach ABC Business Consulting offers is quite unique in the marketplace, and I have found it incredibly useful in defining the direction my solar energy company needs to take to be successful in this economy and beyond. Thanks Frank for all the help and advice. I look forward to a long term and successful relationship with ABC Business Consulting.”

— Randy Velker, Owner, Simple Energy Works

“At the beginning I thought I knew everything about developing a business plan for small and medium size businesses, but when I found ABC Business Consulting to help me prepare this plan, it was a totally different learning experience for me, as this firm showed me that it required a professional staff like ABC Business Consulting to put this plan together with me. I have learned a lot by exchanging ideas and information with ABC and developing my business skills. I thank Frank from ABC Business Consulting for all his help, advice and finally his patience with me as they are very quick in response and completed my Business Plan in time. Well done and great job! I highly recommend ABC Business Consulting and their services.”

— Ali Al-Jazairi, Yas Marine

“We started with an idea that we felt would better the citizens of the surrounding communities. So we began to get acquainted with the local entrepreneurs, to find out how they started, and how their vision and dream became the success that it is today. Everyone’s success story started out the same way, they had an excellent business plan. So we started working on our business plan, and after months of trying to develop it, we knew we were in over our head. We turned to the internet and spoke with company after company about developing our business plan with the same outcome: a lot of money!

ABC Business Consulting not only offered reasonable pricing, but also Frank took the time to examine and explain every aspect of our up and coming business to make sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into with the business. He encouraged us when we felt we couldn’t learn any more, and when we did something wrong, he patiently helped us to fix it. When it was done correctly, he gave us praise, and in the end, when it was all said and done, we had a complete body of business planning work, making us experts in our company and its future. Now we are off to put the business plan to good use. We will come back to ABC to do our website development, web marketing and Search Engine Optimization in the future.”

— Ulysa and Donovan Muirhead, YouthTown

“I have been working with Frank Goley of ABC Business Consulting for several months now. The results and benefits have been exceptional for our solar system company. We have been able to significantly grow our solar and green products business through the business plan implementation, consulting recommendations, and web marketing strategies that Frank has worked closely with me in developing and implementing. Also, the opportunity to consult with Frank at anytime about any business issue or opportunity has been great- he has been a great asset to our business planning and decision making.

As a result of Frank’s advice, we have seen great results, including: our energy monitor product sales have doubled, our solar energy system business is on track for a banner year with a three-fold increase, our targeted website visitors have increased 1,500%, and our website Bounce Rate is an incredibly low 5%!

Every step of the way, Frank is accountable to his advice, closely monitoring our operations and providing follow up advice and coaching when needed. All results are tracked and marketing campaigns tweaked and re-worked in real time so we minimize wasted marketing dollars and increase sales exponentially. Frank is not just some theoretical consultant, or a coach who gives advice without backing it up. He is very much involved in the implementation of his advice and helps to make sure our plan stays on track. He is really great at finding us new marketing avenues and opportunities in the solar industry and energy efficiency products industries, and I value his sage advice on growing our solar company.

If you want someone to maximize your company’s profitability and increase sales, Frank is the guy to call.”

— Randy Velker, Owner, Simple Energy Works

“Working with Frank Goley made me realize all the missing gaps that existed in my mind about the business I wanted to create.  He is very thorough, knowledgeable, patient and understanding.  If you want to create a final product that covers all of your bases and does not leave out any detail, you must work with Frank.  Most people writing business plans have all the information in their minds, but don’t have a way to get it out. Frank uses a methodical approach to gathering information from you to complete the plan.”

— R.R.

“I was very pleased with my business plan. Frank Goley was there for me every step of the process and willing to help me with anything.

— Anthony Alvarez, Restaurateur, AMA Management

We will definitely look to utilize ABC Business Consulting services in the future as we build our company. Thanks!”

Doug Walker, EMT-P, President, MPACT

“Frank, I reviewed the information you provided regarding business turnarounds. I was impressed by the level of detail and the elements that dealt with the leadership qualities of the business turnaround consultant and team. I have reviewed a great deal of literature on the topic and have interviewed a number of turnaround experts.  Few have addressed the level of detail that you have provided and none have addressed the requisite qualities of the turnaround team. Thanks again for providing this information!”

— Dan Anderson, MBA, CBA, Director, Small Business Development Center, Helena, MT

“I just wanted to express my appreciation for the business plan review service. It has helped tremendously in revising and making the plan attractive to potential investors and helped to eliminate the fatal flaws that could stop it dead in its tracks. The service was very quick and efficient. An absolute must for every entrepreneur or anyone looking for that extra help with a business plan. I eagerly look forward to doing further business in the future and making full use of more of the services offered!”

— Chris Johnson, Saskatchewan, Canada

“We really needed help with our business plan writing. We actually did not think Frank Goley was going to have time to respond to our request but he did. Although our business plan was in its initial draft version, Frank was honest to point out that the business plan needed a lot of work. At a high level, Frank suggested the following to be considered:

  • Correct formatting
  • Follow the SBA guidelines
  • Strong marketing research and analysis

We certainly appreciate Frank for contributing his time and effort to help us with the most important stage of our business formation – writing the business plan. Thanks again for all the help.”

Website Search Engine Optimization and Web Marketing

“I had an idea and Frank made it a reality!

I found Frank through a web-search for “internet business consultants” and of course he was ranked #1.

I figured this was a good sign, so I gave him a call. Come to find out his business was just a few miles from my home town.

He was very nice and was able to work within my budget to design an awesome looking website just like I wanted.

He also said he would get my website ranked within the search engines.  I was expecting anywhere from 2 – 6 months for this to happen, but within 2 days of my site going live I was ranked 5th, and within a week and a half I was coming up #1 on Google.

Frank has done everything he said and more.  Since we started working together we have exchanged over 370 emails. Every conference call has been right on time and every email has been answered in an informative and timely manner.

The website has been live now for only 2 weeks, and it has already produced a couple sales.

I am looking forward to seeing my company grow with Frank’s undivided help now and in the future.

Thanks Frank! You’re the best!”

“I hired ABC Business Consulting to do my website design and development after they did a great job on my Investor Business Plan. After discussing my company’s strategic direction with Frank Goley, I realized that having a good website as a start-up company early on in its development was really important, particularly as a tool to show investors my product and company vision. Since my company is in its infancy, we decided to do an initial one page website which we would build out further in future phases.

ABC Business Consulting offers a complete web success solution. They designed my logo, my bottles, website and Facebook fan page. The fully integrated branding and design turned out really well, providing my company a great foundation for future marketing and customer engagement.

I’m blown away with the customized website Frank designed for me. Even though it is just a one page website, it looks and acts like a larger, multi-page website. It has several sections, and the navigation bar is always visible so that on-page navigation is very user friendly and extremely fluid. There is great advantage to having all the sections of the website on a single page. The website load time and navigation speed is incredible.

The website design really is awesome. It captures the visitor’s attention and keeps it. The website has clear sales flow and calls to action. It also guides the visitor through the web experience with ease. The integrated Presentation is awesome, particularly how it is blended with the bottles. It really brings the whole web experience alive. The Facebook Fan page design is really outstanding as well. It will be an awesome social media marketing platform for my company.

In short, ABC really delivered on this project. The website offers stunning design, excellent usability, great calls to action, and solid visitor engagement. It will certainly be an awesome marketing machine! Thanks Frank for an incredible website and all the hard work. It has exceeded all my expectations. I look forward to coming back to ABC for future phases of web design and development, along with taking advantage of your SEO, social media,  and internet marketing services. Thanks Again for Everything!”

“We are an Architect firm, and nowadays China has become a huge market that we have to enter and get traction in order to succeed. However when entering the market, we face extremely high competition there as many other architectural firms think the same way. Therefore, the key factor of a successful business in China is not only how good you are, but it is also how people find out who you are and how well you stand out among the fierce competition.

Frank’s SEO and PPC strategy has successfully helped us build visibility, accessibility and credibility with our prospects. For visibility, Frank has helped with the targeted ranking of our website with remarkable progress shortly after implementation. And his internet strategy also provides interested prospects good accessibility not only to our website, but also to their interests with related web pages. With the synergy effect of visibility (top ranking) and accessibility (linkage to related interests and well developed content web pages), we have gained valuable credibility in our markets.

For the last week alone, we had received calls from a prospect in Hebei (Northern China) for a high-tech industrial project and another one in Guangdong (Southern China) for a resort project. It proves that Frank’s SEO and PPC strategy successfully covers a wide range of regions and industries in China as we desired and required.

Also, in addition to the SEO and PPC marketing, Frank set up an in-country social, email, mail and phone marketing system in China for us that has produced a very large commercial mixed-use real estate development project for us in Southern China to work on.

The results with Frank Goley and ABC Business Consulting are amazing! Thank you Frank for all the awesome work you have done for us.”

– Angie S.H., President, Aphronze

“I own a premiere event planning and marketing company based in New York City. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Frank Goley on many projects that I have for my many businesses. He is fast, reliable and very good at what he does. Because I own several companies and websites, I always need excellent content, articles, sales letters, etc. I’ve worked with a ton of writers over the years, but Frank is by far the best!!! I definitely recommend Frank to any business.”

— Mario Stewart, President, EMRG Media

“I have been working with Frank Goley of ABC Business Consulting for several months now. The results and benefits have been exceptional. We have been able to significantly grow our business through the business plan implementation, consulting recommendations, and web marketing strategies that Frank has worked closely with me in developing and implementing.

As a result of Frank’s advice and hard work, via our newly designed and developed website and the ongoing internet marketing and SEO campaign, we have seen great results, including: our energy monitor product sales have doubled, our solar system business is on track for a banner year with a three-fold increase, our targeted website visitors have increased 1,500%, and our Bounce Rate is an incredibly low 5%!

If you want someone to maximize your company’s profitability and increase sales, Frank is the guy to call.”

— Vince Martinez, Partner FYI Media Services, CEO 123 Web Connect

“ABC Business Consulting’s Website Design, Development, SEO and Marketing service really works for our company as a total solution, including custom website design and development, PPC campaign, SEO campaign, YouTube design, social network campaign, etc…The Website design itself is definitely one of the kind in our industry, outstanding and competitive, with all the advantages of being user friendly, attractive, yet simple to navigate. It is elegant and attractive to represent a high end image to our customers, and designed in a very logical and informative way that reveals our professional expertise and insight.

The PPC campaign and SEO campaign that Frank Goley has launched for us are extremely market oriented, with such an enormous  coverage, and utilization of every possible and useful platform and channel. The back end management is sustainable with adequate capacity. It is a completely robust system!

I just can’t thank Frank enough for his help with our website design and development, especially with the multiple language versions and requiring advanced technology to operate the system to full performance. Frank has always successfully surmounted the challenges and brought out the extraordinary deliverable that exceeds our expectations.”

— Angie S.H., President, Aphronze, Aphronze.com

“One of the keys to succeeding in the art of social media placement is good copy. Good copy is a combination of affordability, creativity, and timeliness. Frank Goley delivers all three without fanfare or fuss.”

— Allan Matthews, Owner, FYI Media Services

“Frank Goley with ABC Business Consulting has done a fantastic job in creating a stunning website for my company, Simple Energy Works. Not only is the design inviting, but I am really excited about the sales strategy and design integrated into the website, which with finesse calls website visitors to take action. This is something that my previous website failed to do well. Frank’s website designers also really did a bang up job in designing my social media properties and created a website within a Facebook Fanpage that is just incredible!

Moreover, Frank re-worked and developed new content for the website, then optimized the content for the search engines. In as little as a few days, my website has already starting ranking as a result of Frank’s content and search engine optimization work on the website. Frank also came up with the idea to have a Solar Case Studies section on the website, which proves out how solar energy systems make a lot of financial sense, and it adeptly showcases our expertise in designing and installing solar systems.

Not only is the frontend of my website great, but I am even more amazed with the backend WordPress customization and CMS. Frank’s web developer customized the WordPress platform into an easy to use tool for me to manage content, add content, send newsletters, and so much more. Frank installed a WP plugin that helps make Search Engine Optimization a snap for me in the future as I create more content, and added another plugin to help the overall performance of the website. It isn’t just the plugins that were installed, but more importantly, how Frank’s web developer customized the plugins and the WP platform for my particular need and use. Really fantastic!

ABC Business Consulting is now implementing the off page search engine optimization and internet marketing strategy, and I look forward to the increased business this website is bound to create for me. Even in the few short days since my new website went live, I am already getting great rankings where I had none before. My website is going to be a marketing machine, even in this recession!  Thanks for going the extra mile and doing the “little things” that really add up to great value and results!”

“When working to grow their companies, entrepreneurs often overlook a valuable resource: their employees. “Many business owners regard their IP, products, real estate holdings, and  equipment as their greatest assets,” says Frank Goley of ABC Business Consulting. “Unfortunately, employees come way  down the list — and sometimes don’t even make the top 10. This is a huge  oversight and a huge waste.”

“How do you align your resources, your team, your partners, and your vision for success if you don’t have a common goal or a roadmap to reach it? Of course you have a business plan, but odds are it died a long time ago, relegated to a dusty drawer. If your business plan is not a living, breathing, and valued document; the daunting task of aligning your business is made all the more difficult by the vast array of conflicting agendas in your organization. Frank Goley brings a simple and straightforward approach to building and maintaining an active business plan – that roadmap for success- upon which your organization can align its efforts.

He is an engaging speaker / presenter / consultant  who has also written an excellent guide which can help any organization navigate the process of defining a business plan:  “The Comprehensive Business Plan Workbook – A Step By Step Guide to Effective Business Planning”. I met Frank at an SMPS Seminar in which he kindly shared his guidance on this process, and I have found him and his book to be a welcome and valuable resource. Whether it is sharing his ideas, perspective, experiences, or time, Frank is a consultant you can rely on to provide sound advice and guidance; and to be there to help you and your business find your roadmap.”
