FAQ

Questions About Working With Dr. Paul From Any State

Can Dr. Paul write a business plan for my state if he works from Florida?
Yes. Dr. Paul works remotely with owners in every state. You talk by phone or video, send your numbers by email, and review each draft before it goes out. What makes a plan local is not where the writer sits. It is the research behind it: your city, your customers, your lenders and the programs your state actually runs.
What is the difference between a state page and a city page?
Each state page covers the lenders, programs and local questions that shape plans across that state, with a spotlight on several cities. City pages go deeper on one metro. Start with your state, then follow the link to your city page if there is one.
Is my state missing from the list?
No. Every state has a page. Florida’s statewide page is the Florida business plan writer guide, and the city pages above cover Orlando, Tampa, Miami and other Florida metros. If your city has no page yet, the state page covers it, and Dr. Paul researches your market as part of the plan.
What do lenders in most states want to see in a business plan?
A clear ask, a real use of the money, and projections that show how the loan gets repaid even in a slow month. Lenders also want proof you know your local market: who buys, who competes and what it costs to operate where you plan to open. Each state page shows what that looks like where you live.
