Don't Launch on a Hunch

A business plan isn't a 60-page document you file away — it's the argument you make to a lender, an investor, or yourself that this business will work in Maryland. Templates and AI generators produce plans that read like plans. They don't produce plans that get funded.

Every plan we write is custom-built for your business, your market, and your funding path — whether that's an SBA loan, a TEDCO grant, a CDFI lender, or private capital.

Investor- & Lender-Ready

Structured the way SBA underwriters, banks, and angel investors expect. 3-year pro formas. Real assumptions.

Built for Maryland

Baltimore market dynamics, Maryland regulatory requirements, and the actual funding sources available to local founders — TEDCO, Maryland DHCD, MCE, Meridian.

Written by a Consultant, Not a Template

Mike DeBaugh, JD/MBA (DBA candidate), personally writes every plan. No gig-platform handoff, no junior associate, no AI generator output.

What's In Every Plan

A Complete 20–40 Page Business Plan

Built to pass underwriter review on the first pass. No template language, no generic Maryland references — every page is written specifically for your business and your funding target.

Market Analysis (Maryland-Specific)
Baltimore and Maryland market sizing, segmentation, and competitive landscape with real data.
Products & Services
What you sell, how it's priced, and why it beats the alternatives.
Marketing & Sales Strategy
Channel plan, customer acquisition cost assumptions, and a realistic 12-month acquisition roadmap.
Operations Plan
Location, staffing, suppliers, key processes, and the systems you'll run on day one.
Management & Organization
Team, advisory board, and the governance structure your lender will want to see.
3-Year Financial Projections
Revenue model, P&L, cash flow, and a funding request tied to specific uses of capital.

Who Writes Your Plan

A JD/MBA — Not a Gig Writer

Mike DeBaugh founded Crimson Business Consulting to give Maryland entrepreneurs access to the kind of strategic advisor usually reserved for private-equity-backed companies. Every plan is written personally by Mike — no gig-platform handoff, no junior associate, no AI template output.
