Bids, Proposals, and Concept
Packages
The
average entrepreneur invests about 400 hours (10-weeks) to complete a
business
 plan; time which should be dedicated to managing the
business. In a competitive bid situation you don't get to
modify your proposal; it must be right the first time, and your
 proposal must stand-out in the crowd. Bottom line,
your bids, proposals and business plans are more likely to be
successful with professional preparation. The financial and
business models outlined in your proposal enhance the probability of
success. The nature of the competitive bid process means you have one
opportunity to demonstrate why you should be wining bidder. RMD utilizes its financial and management expertise
to assist its clients in their development of sound
proposals, bids, and
concept
packages. Your decision will enable
RMD to guide you through the process of developing what you need to
accomplish your goal. We can help you implement your plans
and introduce you to the institutions and investors who can fund
your venture.

Business Valuation
Business
valuation is a process to estimate the
economic value of an owner’s interest in
a business. Valuations are used by
business
owners to determine the "value of an
on-going business concerns." Every
business valuation includes a
Normalization (recasting) of the
financial statement in accordance with
Statutory Fair Value: #11 Normalizing
Adjustment per GAAP. In
the
process of a formal valuation
certain adjustments to standard
“historical” financial statements
prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles may be necessary
to derive the pure value of a business.
In addition
to estimating the selling price of a
business, the same valuation tools are
often used by business appraisers to
resolve disputes related to estate and
gift taxation, divorce litigation,
allocate business purchase price among
business assets, establish a formula for
estimating the value of partners'
ownership interest for buy-sell
agreements, and many other business and
legal purposes. RMD's
analysis of a company's historical
financial statements, and recasting of
financial
statements can reflect how new ownership
would affect a company's earnings and
cash flow. We also considered the market
value of any real estate, equipment,
inventory, and other hard assets that
would be transferred in the sale, as
well as the intangible aspects that make
your business appealing. The
business valuation process
can be very complex and time-consuming,
and takes quite a lot of experience to
do well. There are a number of valuation
methods that business appraisers have at
their disposal, and even choosing the
correct method (or more likely, the
correct combination of methods) to use
in a given situation can be considered
more of an art than a science.
Business valuation methods fall into the
following categories, depending on what
their major focus is:
Business and Strategic Plans
The process starts by you deciding what your goals are: get a loan,
identify an investor or a strategic partnership, and/or generate
more revenues.
The
decision to develop a corporate "operating plan" centers around whether it should be a "business
plan" or "strategic plan." A
business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals, the
reasons why they are believed attainable, and the plan for reaching
those goals. It may also contain background information about the
organization or team attempting to reach those goals. Business plans
may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer,
client, tax-payer, or larger community. When the existing business
is to assume a major change or when planning a new venture - a 3 to
5 year business plan is required since investors will look for their
annual return in the 3 to 5 year time. While, a strategic plan
is a step by step guide, created by a business or organization, to
map out how it will reach goals, and set a foundation so the entire
company knows what will happen and what is expected of them.
Essentially, it provides a "recipe" of how to achieve a stated
vision, for the chosen target market, and how a company serves
customers consistently, effectively and profitably every single
time. A strategic alliance can transform a small regional firm in to an international concern within three to five years. Whether you have a new Internet platform, exciting restaurant
concept, or current retail business you would like to expand, RMD
has the experience to assist you in reaching your goals.
Creating effective business and strategic plans,
feasibility studies, proposals, bids, and concept packages is difficult and requires considerable experience and expertise.
Grant Writing
Successful grant writing requires a
clear understanding of grantsmanship. Grants provide money and
other resources to aid and assist organizations in funding and
completing projects that benefit the public. Agencies and
governments offer the opportunity to receive funding for specific
types of studies and research each year to individuals, public
agencies, schools, non-profit organizations, and corporations. A
complex and all-encompassing application must be completed in order
for an organization to be considered to receive the grant money. It
is the writer's responsibility to complete all the components of the
application process and submit the application to the funding agency
on time. The major components of our grant writing service
include;
-
Funding Search: We search
and develop a list of potential funding resources.
-
Proposal Development:
Our
company will write and develop grants via the Internet. Our
service includes consulting, utilizing needs assessments,
and brainstorming workable solutions, as well as
cultivating goals and objectives. We draft an evaluation
plan, prepare documents for submission, proof read, submit
to the funding source and follow-up.
-
Grant Research: If your
organization has a proposal, but not the funding source, our
company will locate new sources, and we re-write your
proposal to fit the new guidelines and re-submit to the new
source.
-
Grant Proposal Review:
If your
organization wants a completed proposal evaluated prior to
submission to the funding source, our company can help. We
proofread it making sure it matches the Request for Proposal
and funding guidelines. We score the proposal, identify
weaknesses and make suggestions.
-
Grant Proposal Evaluation:
If
your organization wrote a proposal and requires a
professional evaluation, we create the appraisal section of
the proposal, and conduct a professional evaluation
providing a summative and/or formative expression of the
data.
Private Placements
In order to secure capital from private investors, or non-family members, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires the firm issuing the security to prepare a Regulation D Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). The PPM is required in order to raise capital from individual and institutional investors. The PPM legal document requires a high level of skill and experience and our people are experts in the drafting of this important legal document; which generates funding via the issuing of private shares of stock or security interest.
Private shares cannot be sold as easily. Because private shares represent a stake in a company that is not listed on any exchange, finding a buyer may be difficult. The lack of information about most private companies tends to dissuade investors, who are usually very reluctant to buy into a company that they know nothing about. Hence, the written document (PPM) you provide to each potential investor must comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation D Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) requirements.
Simply printing “stock certificates” and accepting money from investors without complying with Regulation D is “securities fraud!” Yes, that's the same Federal law which put Bernard Madoff in Federal Prison for life. Bottom line, if you accept the public's money for securities you must comply with the SEC's Regulation D.
RMD can help your firm develop successful funding strategies for your short and long term needs. Our network of lenders and investors can enable to you focus on running your company instead of getting financing.
Accounting, Bookkeeping,
Consultation Services
RMD provide personalized

The purpose of your project will
determine the scope of work and pricing, for example; 1.) a
working capital or long-term loan package would be $500. plus 2% of
the funded loan amount. 2.) a business plan to secure an investor
would cost $750. plus 3% of the initial investment. and 3.) the
creation of a feasibility study or strategic plans would range from
$500. to $1,500. The pricing of most services is driven
by how comprehensive the project is and the resources RMD has
to invest in the project.
