At What Point Should You Get Outside Help With a Business

[michellee]

I have been working on a business concept for a while now and have got to the stage where I know there are certain things I probably need another pair of eyes on. I grasp the core business idea and know who it is targeted at however making it into concrete financial forecasts, market research and a concrete plan for how I want the business to grow is not taking as short a amount of time as I originally estimated.

The reason why I am looking into business plan writing services is I want to know that I have covered all of the critical areas before approaching anyone that I want to get financial backing from, however, at the same time, I don't want it to sound generic or not in touch with the running of my business.

Did anyone go the extra mile and get professional help with the writing of their business plan and if so was it worthwhile? What did you gain from the process and did the end product aid your next moves in business?
