Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn a little more about Pebble Plan, and why working with us to help the small businesses in your community plan their growth and get ready for incentives or financing is one of the best things you can do for them, and for yourself. 

 

We understand that adding a new resource to your economic development tool-kit may not be what you planned on doing today.  We also know that change can be uncomfortable at first, but we promise that if you take a few minutes to read a few more sentences and watch a few videos, the time invested will be returned to you many times over with the first client you partner with us on.  

​

Here's what it boils down to:  Most economic developers would love to consistently get highly detailed, data focused, easy to read business plans that let their boards make decisions faster.  But, because most business plans don't check any of those boxes, EDO directors have had to settle for less so they could get small business clients through the process. 

​

Similarly, most EDO directors would love to have a resource that helps small businesses in crisis make changes faster and try to avoid default, without forcing the director to get too involved in the business.  But, because entrepreneurs in crisis don't like to ask for help, EDO directors have limited options for proactively offering help. 

​

What if they didn't have to settle?  If there was easy-to-use software that helped both new and existing small businesses find and fix problems in their plans and processes, would that be enough to consider doing things a little differently?  If the same software produced highly detailed, data focused, easy to read business plans that let boards make decisions faster; would that be worth making some small changes?  If it also made the incentive / financing process faster and easier, how much would that help?   ​​

​

What if they didn't have to settle for poorly written business plans that make them dig facts and figures out of a 20 page story?  And what if there was easy-to-use software that helped both new and existing small businesses find and fix problems in their operations and financials before it was too late?  Would it be worth doing things a little differently?  If the software also made the incentive / financing process faster and easier, would that be worth making some small changes?

If no more settling sounds good to you:  We encourage you to watch the videos below to learn more about what we do and how we do it.
