Sound Familiar?

Most Vancouver entrepreneurs and BC business owners come to us facing one of these four situations:

Problem 01
"The bank just told me I need a business plan"

You just met with BDC or your Vancouver bank branch and discovered that you need a formal business plan in order to apply for financing. Now you're on the clock and need a professional business plan writer in Vancouver to create a strong proposal that matches your lender's requirements.

Problem 02
"I simply don't have the time to write this"

You know your business from A to Z, and perhaps have even written multiple business plans in the past. But today you're busy with your business and simply lack the time to sit down and produce the 30+ page document your lender requires. A professional Vancouver business plan writer like Newton Group Marketing can take care of this for you.

Problem 03
"I have a tight deadline and limited budget"

Funding windows don't wait. Whether it's a BDC application, an investor meeting, or a BC PNP immigration business plan deadline, you need a comprehensive business plan completed both quickly and well done. Not a generic template — but customized to your unique business.

Problem 04
"I want to start a business and make sure I get this step done right"

You have a business idea you believe in and you're organized enough to know that the planning stage matters. But you're not entirely sure how the funding process works, what lenders actually look for, or where to even begin with a business plan. What you do know is that you want this done properly.

No obligation. We typically respond within 2 business hours.

Why Vancouver Business Owners Choose Newton Group

While big business plan agencies churn dozens of clients a month we focus on specialized attention and quality.

★★★★★
"The business plan exceeded the bank's expectations"
Greg has been a tremendous help for our business in getting our business plan professionally done. With his expertise, we were able to present a business plan to the bank and get it approved. The business plan exceeded the bank's expectation. Our business financing manager told us she has not seen such a detailed, well-written business plan for years. He worked tirelessly on several last-minute occasions to get the plan done on time. He will go far and beyond your expectations.

At Newton Group Marketing, owner and senior writer Gregory Newton works one-on-one with every client personally, from the first call to the final delivered plan. No junior writers, no stock AI templates, no rushed production. Just direct, senior-level attention at every step of the process.

We deliberately limit how many active clients we take on at any given time. That is how protect the quality of every plan we produce. And quality is something our Vancouver clients notice. The most consistent feedback we receive isn't just that the plan got approved. It's that we exceeded their expectations — and the bank's too.

Our Differentiator Pillars

Many of our clients come to us at one of the most critical moments in their business journey. Every start-up carries real risk for the owner and we take that seriously. Our commitment to every Vancouver client is simple: we work tirelessly to make sure this stage gets done right, the first time.

Gregory brings 14+ years of business plan writing experience, a UBC education, and an intimate knowledge of the Vancouver and BC lending landscape — including what BDC, TD, RBC, and ScotiaBank loan managers in this market require in a proposal.

Refined Until It's Perfect

We don't stop at "good enough." Every business plan we write goes through a thorough refinement process — reworked, polished, and perfected until every section is tight, compelling, and lender-ready. Our attention to detail is something clients consistently notice, and something Vancouver lenders consistently reward.

Built to Stand Apart from the Competition

In today's competitive funding environment, a generic business plan doesn't just underperform — it gets overlooked. We craft every proposal to stand far apart from the other applications on a loan manager's desk. Sharp analysis, professional presentation, and a compelling business case that commands attention.

Deep Research into Your Unique Business

No two businesses are alike — and your business plan shouldn't be either. We invest significant time understanding your specific business model, your market, and your competitive advantages. The result is a plan that doesn't just describe your business — it captures what makes it genuinely fundable.

100% Senior-Level Attention, Start to Finish

From your first call to your final delivered plan, you work directly and exclusively with Gregory Newton — a senior funding expert with 14+ years of experience helping Vancouver entrepreneurs secure financing.

Your Plan is Written & Polished

Gregory personally writes every section of your business plan from scratch; no templates, no shortcuts.

FAQ

What is your approach to writing business plans?

We exist in an industry where most writers plug your concept into a template or AI tool and produce something generic. The problem is lenders notice that immediately and it hurts your chances of approval.

Our approach is the opposite. We take the time to fully understand your business before writing a single word. Every plan is built from scratch, handcrafted around your unique model, your local Vancouver market, and your specific lender's requirements. The result is a proposal that reads like it was written by someone who genuinely understands your business, because it was.

Do you have experience with Vancouver and BC lenders?

Yes. We have extensive experience preparing business plans for Vancouver-area clients applying to BDC, CSBFL and other business loans through TD, RBC, CIBC, ScotiaBank, and other major lenders operating in BC. We understand what loan managers in this market look for, what red flags to avoid, and how to structure a proposal that meets their specific documentation standards. Our 95% funding success rate reflects our expertise.

Do you write BC PNP and immigration business plans?

Yes — immigration business plans are one of our most requested services for Vancouver-area clients. We prepare plans specifically tailored to BC PNP requirements, as well as other Canadian immigration streams that require a formal business plan as part of the application. These plans have specific structural and content requirements that differ from standard bank financing plans, and we have extensive experience meeting them.

How much does a Vancouver business plan cost?

Every project is unique in its scope and complexity. Most clients invest between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on the size of their business, the complexity of their financials, and the lender they're applying to. We provide a precise quote on your free consultation call — no obligation.

How long does a business plan take to write?

Standard turnaround is 8 to 12 business days. If you have a tight deadline, e.g. a BDC meeting, an investor presentation, or an immigration application, we work with you to meet it. Speak with us on your free call and we'll confirm what's possible for your specific timeline.

What if my lender requests changes to the plan?

We handle all revisions requested by your lender as part of our service. If your bank or BDC loan manager comes back with specific questions or requests modifications to any section of the plan, we address those directly and promptly. Our goal is your funding approval — and we stay with you every step of the way until that's achieved.

How much work is involved on my end?

Very little. We outline everything we need to know about your business and guide you through providing it. Most clients spend no more than 2 to 5 hours total providing input. We handle all the research, financial modelling, writing, and formatting. You review, provide feedback, and we refine until the plan is exactly right.

What happens after I book my free consultation?

On the call we'll review your business concept, your funding goals, and your timeline. We'll assess your situation honestly and recommend the right approach. If we're a good fit, we'll propose the right package and provide a quote. If you'd like to proceed, we typically begin within one to two business days and deliver your completed plan within 8 to 12 days.
