Get And Sign Executive Summary Form

A typical executive summary [1]summarizes the entire business proposal in a page or two. However, a great executive summary covers all the important attributes of the proposal in a concise manner. It may also include rich media (charts, graphs, images, projections, etc.) to keep the readers hooked. Enticing them to read the whole thing. Keep in mind, it is not an introduction to your document.5 steps to write an executive summary:1.Start with a Bang!An exceptional executive summary lays the foundation for a solid business proposal. Similarly, the first paragraph of your document lays a foundation for your executive summary. Yep, your executive summary needs an executive summary. If your readers are planning to skim the whole thing, they are still highly likely to read the first paragraph. Build a solid case by starting with a bang.2. Keep it SimpleDon’t go into too much detail about how your product or service is going to revolutionize the industry. Don’t ponder on the history of the founders. Keep the details for the rest of the document and only focus on the most important stuff. Most executive summaries include short paragraphs and or bullets and subheadings. Include pictures, graphs or videos (if it’s a cloud based document) to get your point across quickly and easily, without using too much text.3. Keep it ShortDepending on the length of the business plan or investment proposal, the length of the executive summary will vary. There’s a common “formula” out there – your executive summary should be about 5%-10% as long as the primary document. We say keep the executive summary as short as possible- without sacrificing important details. It’s a tricky situation but keeping it ‘short is always a good thing.’4. Write it at the EndEven though it is the first thing that someone reads from your business plan, it is often the last section to write. Once you are satisfied with your proposal, only then begin writing the executive summary. This gives you clarity as to which sections are more important than others and help you prioritize. Since you are familiar with the ins and outs of the entire document, you can write the executive summary quickly.5. Make it interesting: It’s not just table of contentsOne way to capture the reader’s attention is to make your executive summary an interesting read. It must be clear, crisp, professional and with an identifiable goal. Just a friendly reminder, make sure to avoid embarrassing grammatical errors. It’s important to be cognizant of your audiences time and avoid getting into the nitty-gritty. Nothing gets investors excited more than results. Demonstrate a clear path to success/profitability and back up your statements with stats, figures and or market potential.6. Appeal to the AudienceDo your research. Tailoring your business proposal and executive summary according to the wants, needs, and characteristics of the reader can play out positively. Don’t stop yourself from crafting different versions of the executive summary based on the reader’s personality. Let them know about the great opportunity that’s in front of them and provide them with a sense of urgency so that they are intrigued to read and invest in your document further.Keep these points and mind and you’ll be good :)Footnotes[1] Executive Summary - What To Include & How to Write it & (Recommended)

Startups 101: How to Create a Business PlanThe first thing you need to do is create an executive summary and a mission statement.  After that, you need to study your market, compare yourself to your competition, create a share structure, outline financials, and fill out the rest of the pertinent data like the other people suggest.Below is an example of the last executive summary and mission statement that I created for a company I was planning to launch earlier this year.Since I own the company, wrote this from scratch, and decided that I will not be launching this product, I decided to share. (Yes, it is heavily focused on marketing, but that's my primary expertise, if I'm even somewhat good at it... Who in the world knows...)I worked with a Product CEO and operated as the COO at this company and recruited a highly talented team, however the Product CEO decided to part ways so we scrapped the business.Also, you may not want to make a public benefit company unless you already have investors you can turn to for sure who don't care what kind of business you own. If you are seeking to raise money from venture capital, then it is highly unlikely that they will invest into your model. 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARYCompany Name | Tagline | An American Public Benefit Company Founded in February of 2013, (“SE”) features contemporary women’s fashions specializing in comfort, fit and sexiness, established by a diverse group of individuals, led by the C.E.O. Ms. Lee.  SE holds idealistic aspirations of giving back to the underprivileged, creates American Jobs and gives back to the community, while keeping the clientele engaged through social interactions  SE provides:  • A Philanthropic Vision.  • Patriotism.  • Quality Clothing.  • Best Styles for women of the 21st Century.  • Quality Content. • An Interactive Community.  SE’s innovative design and marketing team constructs visionary product campaigns and strategies, designed to push SE to the forefront of the industry. Derived from the fictional character, Sophia Serrano, from the film Open Your Eyes, SE’s inspiration is characterized by Sophia’s radiant qualities of being: positive, down-to earth, original, mysterious, sexy, and guileless in a perfect world.  Sophia is the “ideal” woman because not only is she divine in nature, she is able to cope through the greatest obstacles that obstruct her from her path. Simultaneously, Sophia is so unique, she makes a man follow her into the afterlife of his dreams. Not only did she (tagline) in the real world, she left him in need of her in the afterlife.  SE wants other fashion brands and the world to know that everyone in this world matters, no matter your race, ethnicity, financial background or country of origin.  SE empowers people to make a difference by:   • Helping the Underprivileged Children of America. • Creating American Jobs.  • Providing a more Eco-Friendly environment.  All of SE’s products are made in the United States, providing more opportunities to influence economic growth.  SE ensures no usable fabric goes to waste by collecting all the scraps of fabrics and donating the items to (charity), with the sole intent to create exclusive items, blankets, or articles of clothing for the less fortunate. In addition, SE donates 10% of all sales to (charity) , to help feed, clothe, and provide shelter for the less fortunate.SE plans to take a creative approach to branding and marketing the company.  Not only will SE use traditional methods of marketing, such as mailing clothes to celebrities, look books to bloggers and editors, buying editorial spots, sponsoring events, and advertising online, SE will take grass root efforts to the next level in attracting hits to the website, along with social media to keep the clientele engaged. Sending celebrities, fashion editors and bloggers free gifts never guarantees the promotion of an item, so SE has decided to implement a revenue sharing program with its clothing. Each individual influencer will have a personalized URL to direct their clients to SE’s website. Each purchase made within thirty days by the referral of an “influencer” will generate an earnings check of $25 to the referrer. Checks will be cut once the accumulated balance signNowes $300, or can be exchanged to store credit. SE will seek out make up artists, photographers, stylists, and other professionals within the fashion industry to provide an opportunity to earn an extra source of income through its revenue sharing program. SE will also provide clothing to stylists, to have featured in editorial along with video content. SE’s grassroots efforts will take place in the form of carefully selected event sponsorships. Through event sponsorships, models will be showcased wearing the SE product through a trade booth. SE will take pictures of celebrities who try on the products and feature blog posts through social media efforts of the celebrities, while distributing the highly sought out images to fashion bloggers. SE will then pass out $10 SE Clothing Branded Gift Cards to people who fit the role of the target consumer of the brand at the event. Initially, 50,000 gift cards will be made for distribution within the first year, of which we expect at least 25,000 to visit the website URL.  SE will implement a referral based program, where if a friend is referred to purchase an item through the SE website through their email or social media link within 30 days, the customer will have the choice to have one of the following occur: • $25 will be credited to the referrer’s account for Future Purchases. • $25 will be donated to the referrer’s Charity of Choice. The referee will also receive $10 credited off their first purchase. Studies indicate that 1 out of every 3 customers will refer their friends to a site that they trust and enjoy.  SE will partner with publishers and affiliates such as Google Affiliate, Commission Junction, Avantlink, Affiliate Window, Webgains, Pepperjam, Integrate, Etc. to allow professionals to earn a profit by referring their clientele to purchase items from SE.  In order to create better organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) results to guide more online traffic to the website, SE will carry lines of both popular name brand and up-and-coming American Made products by other designers, such as Nasty Gal, Diesel, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Etc. In order to acquire the product necessary, SE will create a strategic partnership with its manufacturer to sell their excess inventory.  Once new customers visit the SE site, they will be given an opportunity to register on the site to claim their $10 credit. Through registration, information such as the customer’s name, email address, phone number, address, and social media profiles will be gathered.  Once the customer registers, they will be able to access the site. A welcome email will be sent to the customer within one day, welcoming them to the site. Within 5-7 business days, a letter stating SE’s appreciation of the customer with an outline of the brand’s philanthropic vision will be physically mailed to the customer on company letterhead and hand signed by the C.E.O., Ms. Lee. The customer will then be emailed, informing them that their gift card will expire in 30 days, 3 weeks, 15 days, 7 days, 3 days, 2 days, and a final offer email. This cycle will repeat for another 30 days for a total of 60 days, which will trigger a sense of urgency within purchasing an item within the allotted timeframe.  SE will engage with customers by providing the first few sentences of educational content through email, while providing links to the blogging section of the website to read the full article, along with social media efforts on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, DeviantART, Tumblr, Google+, Polyvore, Wanelo, Quora, Lyst, Etc. to build trust with the clientele, and keep them engaged with the brand. SE will track user activity through analytic services provided by Kissmetrics to measure which campaigns work best, to better understand our audience. SE will influence increases in transaction sizes by donating one item to charity for every $300 spent in a single transaction. Not only would revenues increase, the philanthropic vision would accelerate to creating a bigger influence to society, which in turn will create a better image for the brand. SE will have a section on the site where users can upload images of their new purchases, how they pair their outfits, provide feedback to others, and like other consumer’s styles, creating an engaged society of buyers who become advocates and prosumers of the brand.  SE will begin sales on the retail website, then slowly trickle into many online boutique stores, physical boutique stores, then into major department stores. Since bulk purchases from vendors decrease manufacturing costs, the business model is extremely scalable. As SE becomes a more established brand, price increases will be implemented in 10% increments per season, increasing profit margins while manufacturing costs decrease. SE will create separate databases for consumers who have at least purchased one item and another database for loyal consumers. In regard to the database of consumers who have purchased, collateral material providing a promo code for a promotional discount will physically be mailed to the clients two weeks prior to an anniversary or holiday sale, to provide exclusive access to the promotion. SE will randomly select users from the loyal consumer database to provide a free gift with purchase, expedited or free shipping, and various other promotional tools to reward brand loyalty.  Once SE establishes a loyal client base, verticals will be integrated one product at a time in minimal quantities, initially to test the market to see how well the product does. Verticals will range from products such as cosmetics, shoes, handbags, hats, stockings, scarves, jewelry, and other womenswear based products. Led by C.E.O. Ms. Lee, SE has hand selected a managerial team of 8 creative unique individuals to grasp a portion of the $500+ billion dollar market by creating quality content, negotiating with vendors, managing finances, and laying out the long term growth of the company, all while creating beautiful product.  10 years from now, in the year 2023, SE plans to be acquired by LVMH, PPR, Richemont, Valentino Fashion Group, The Aeffe Group, Puig, Diesel, Phillips-Van Huesen, Hermes, Liz Claiborne, Inditex, The Arcadia Group, or Aurora Fashion for a strike price of $300 million. SE is currently seeking seed financing in the amount of $275,000 to be used to cover manufacturing, marketing, legal and operational expenses to establish the brand. MISSION STATEMENTUnited together, SE’s commitments to society are as follows:#1. To Mother Earth:We vow to make sure that no usable fabric is wasted. All usable scrap material will be recycled into specialty items, blankets or created into articles of clothing for the less fortunate.#2. To Our Nation:We vow to Shop American. We vow to only manufacture our product in America. We are creating American jobs and doing our part in rebuilding the American economy.#3. To Our World:We vow to take a stance against child labor. We take a stance against the Chinese sweatshops with hazardous work conditions.#4. To The Less Fortunate:We vow to provide food, clothing, and shelter for children who are unable to take care of themselves, especially the ones right here at home.#5. To Our Customers:We vow to make sure you feel beautiful and (tagline). We vow to create the sexiest, most reliable products made from the best material we can find. We will provide the best fit possible. We will listen to your opinions and make decisions based off of your feedback. Your voice will be heard. #6. To Our Design PartnersWe vow to provide our client base accessibility to your designs to increase your exposure in the market place. Whether you are a small designer who is just beginning or an established brand, there is a place here for you to showcase your items, as long as the product is manufactured here in America.#7. To Our Employees: We vow to bring the jobs back home and provide fair wages. We vow to provide a fun and friendly stress-free work environment.#8. To Our Shareholders:We vow to provide you a seat on our board. We vow to listen to your expertise. We vow to provide returns in a timely manner. We vow to fulfill your philanthropic vision.Oh, it might be in your best interest to include a mind map as well.The first five pages should include the following information:BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN MARCH 2013 ****** CONFIDENTIALITY & DISCLOSURE NOTICE ****** IMPORTANT: This document is for information purposes only and sent at your request and is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act 18 U.S.C. 2510‐2521.

I took a different business plan for a nightlife company, brought a cofounder with a 680 credit score, and went to Long Beach SBDC and they helped me get approved for a loan from a credit union for $30,000 two years ago. The whole process took less than a week, since we already had our business plan finished prior to showing up. We ended up not taking the loan because our programmer ran off with the money we had paid him prior without delivering our technology.There are Small Business Development Centers, sponsored by the Small Business Association, all across the United States that will help you make a business plan for free, read it, and even shop it out for business loans.If you're using a business plan to attain financing from an Angel Investor or VC, then all that matters is your executive summary and your slideshow. I mean, you still need the other data filled in, but these are the only two areas of which they put their main focus on. However, a lot of investors use two financial analysts to carefully go over every detail within a business plan prior to investing their own cash. So, the fine details are pretty important regardless of what anyone else says. Also, if you need to know how to split equity with your startup, read more here: How much equity do you give early employees when the company is bootstrapped?Read more at my blog: Startups 101: How to Create a Business Plan

It's important to consider your audience. For example* For the Founders - take your time, write 10 pages, make sure it clearly articulates the assumptions and how you are going to test them. It should be a living, breathing document. It's an operating manual for your startup.* For Angel/Seed/VC Investors - if you are pre-revenue, don't bother. If you have your MVP, a one page business/lean canvas will suffice. If you ready for investment to fuel growth, then a 20 page document with most emphasis on the bottom-up financials and industry comp's will work well.* For FFF Investors - they aren't investing in your business plan, they are investing in you. If you really feel anxious about it, perhaps get someone through Fiverr or Elance to whip something up. Save most of your money for printing and copying it to hand out to prospective investors - they will be more likely to hand over their cash if you have used nice glossy signNow. I am, of course, joking. The point is, don't bother with a business plan for FFFs.* For the Bank - if this works, whatever your startup is, scrap it and instead write a book about how to get banks to invest in startups without asking for your house as collateral!* For your Customers - this is not as silly as it sounds. There is a bit of a movement towards total transparency in business and smarter people than I seem to be getting on board. Having built out the revenue side of a few traditional (non-software) businesses, I agree there are some signNow benefits to sharing details of your business plan with customers. If you plan to do this, make the clear focus of your business plan on how you create value for your clients and de-emphasise the financial projections.* For your Business Partners - I don't really like sharing startup business plans with prospective business partners. My main rationale isn't fear that they will steal my idea, but instead a concern that it makes the conversation about me instead of about them. I can't guide you here, because I've never written a business plan where the main audience was intended to be business partners.Good luck.Dave P.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed.

The question is "In the U.S. healthcare system, what can the government do to best enable the use of new health information technologies?"I suppose it depends on what information technologies we are talking about. The government gives an incentive to convert to an electronic medical record (EMR), approximately 44K per MD in the office. So that's great, right? The sheer number of EMRs out there is staggering. Most of the ones I looked at for dermatology are clumsy, non-intuitive and difficult. It takes quite a bit of time to learn these, even for computer and web-savvy people. They do not add to productivity; they interfere with it, slowing things down. Even the best derm software takes 6 months to get used to. That is the average given by the company that sells it. And this is after hand-holding, webinars, lectures, online help, etc., etc., etc.You can either purchase or lease one. If you purchase one, the costs can rise to 100K if you include hardware, modifications of code, modules, etc. And every time there is an update, there are additional fees.If you lease one, you have to deal with cloud storage of data. The news is full of medical information hacked into or leaked out of cloud-based systems. All sorts of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations. Interestingly, the last EMR I dealt with (one of the best ones for dermatology) had a clause in their contract that said that they are not responsible for any HIPAA violations (I would be) and they are not responsible for violations of anyone's intellectual property with their product. I would be, again. Seriously? Malpractice Insurance Companies now have separate sections for information on the web. This is talking about information storage on the web, not providing health information.One EMR doesn't communicate with another. So two different health care institutions cannot communicate unless special software is written to import records from one to another, and it doesn't always work both ways. Office management systems don't communicate with EMR, so information needs to be put in twice. I have not seen a coherent package for a private medical office yet. Albeit, I have not looked at huge EMRs that hospitals use.The attestations that need to be made to the government on using your brand new EMR to qualify for the incentive are insane. This is called "meaningful use." https://www.cms.gov/apps/ehr/ There are companies around that specialize in taking you through the nonsensical maze of meaningful use attestations. I am not certain how the government or any entity can make sense of it all. As long as there are separate health care systems and different EMRs, the chances that health information will make any sense are small. There are all sorts of intellectual property issues to deal with. But the only way to make a unified system is to have unified healthcare. The only entity that can accomplish that is the government and that would be socialized medicine. I lived in Russia where we had socialized medicine. That was not really good for health care. Even as recently as 10 years ago, my girlfriend who was still there, needed to bring her own syringes, needles and IV tubing to the hospital for treatment, not to mention pillowcases and sheets.Other information technologies that doctors use, like teledermatology for example, are really frowned upon by malpractice insurance carriers. Services that are needed in locations that don't have ready access to visually oriented medical specialties can definitely benefit from having a specialist look at the patient via technology and help the primary care docs with the diagnosis. The government does not do anything about decreasing the risk of exposure to malpractice law suits at all. Any time that issue has come up, it's quickly and quietly put down.

An executive summary should be 1 page. It should contain enough information about your business but also leave the reader wanting more. Hence, this 1-page executive summary is often called a ‘teaser.’Here are the sections of a startup executive summary, with Quora used as the example company:About: 1–2 lines simply stating what the company does.Quora is a place to gain and share knowledge. Driven by our community, members ask questions and get answers from experts in their respective field.Team: 2–3 members of founding team and executive teamQuora was founded and led by CEO Adam D'Angelo. Before Quora, Adam was at the forefront of social media as the CTO of Facebook.Customers/users: if it’s a B2B business, list examples of customers. If it a B2C business, list the number of people using the product.Quora has over 200m visitors every month .Traction: If it is an investor, mention revenue. If not, use some kind of metric to show growth i.e. sign-ups, traffic.(This part is 100% made-up, just used as an example) Quora was launched in 2009 and began monetizing in 2015. In less than 3 years, the company has grown its annual advertising revenue to over $100m .Here is a generic example that shows a typical format. Instead of the financial numbers, I’d use charts.If you found this helpful, check out my Facebook group Full Stack Entrepreneurs which has many venture backed startup founders and investors as members.
