7-Step Credit Repair Business Plan from $0- $10k per Month

By: Daniel Rosen Last updated: May 02, 2023

Do you have a passion for Credit Repair but don't know how to turn it into a successful business? 

Well, today, I'm going to share a 7-Step Business Plan that will get you on the road to a Credit Repair Empire!

A Business Plan is a roadmap to success where you strategize, organize, and set measurable goals in Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Operations.

The purpose of a Business Plan is to help you, the entrepreneur, communicate your vision, stay focused on your objectives, identify problems, make informed decisions, and maybe even acquire funding or secure partnerships.

Without a Business Plan, entrepreneurs make quick and costly mistakes. Their business gets stuck in the mud instead of moving forward because they didn't make a map to guide them on their journey. 

HOW THIS RELATES TO US

Every business needs a plan, but creating a Business Plan is more beneficial than you may realize. 

A Business Plan teaches you how to sell. First, you sell yourself on the idea of your business. Then you sell it to the rest of the world.

Last year, 42% of Americans were denied financial products like credit cards or loans because their Credit Scores were too low.

40% of Americans have a Credit Score under 700. 

25% don't even know their Credit Score or how it's calculated.

And 79% of Credit Reports contain errors that can cause Credit Scores to drop. 

See what I mean? Those few stats identified the size and scope of your total market. They expressed the needs of your target customers and implied the value of your Credit Repair services.

I didn't even mention how we change lives and make dreams come true. Or the fact that the Credit Repair industry is recession-proof, remote-friendly, and the operating costs are very low! Now, I don't want to tell you exactly what to write in your Business Plan, but you should definitely include that!

THE THING TO REMEMBER

You don't need a Business Plan in order to run and grow a successful business. But you should still make one anyway. 

Entrepreneurs love to move fast and figure things out as they go. But not having a plan is how people run out of gas in the middle of the desert. 

Recent studies have shown that companies with business plans grow 30% faster than those without. 

But quality matters. Business Plans that are short, flexible, and tailored to unique businesses have proven to be a better indicator of future success than super-long, hyper-generic plans.

The studies also suggested that having a Business Plan is less about predicting the future and more about setting regular goals, tracking your actual progress, and making changes to your business as you learn more about your customers.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

You don't actually have to write the Business Plan yourself. You can hire a Business Plan Specialist to write it for you. But if this is your first time running a business, you should absolutely try to write it yourself.

You know your business better than anyone, and no one can accurately communicate your vision better than you can. 

Writing your Business Plan is also a fantastic learning experience. It's a research and brainstorming exercise that can help you develop your overall strategy and your communication skills.

Each step of the writing process explores a different aspect of your business, including some that you might still need to focus on.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A successful Credit Repair Business Plan is made up of 7 Key Steps that outline your core strategies, services, and target market.

STEP 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

This serves as an introduction and should provide a brief overview of your entire Business Plan. 

It's often recommended that the Executive Summary is written last, so you can quickly piece it together using the highlights from other sections. 

STEP 2: BUSINESS DESCRIPTION 

This is where you define the problem that your business will solve. 

This should include your Mission Statement and facts about the Market Opportunity, like the numbers we discussed and additional statistics. 

It should also include a short description for each of the unique services you provide (Dispute Letter filings, Credit Counseling, etc.), with a blurb about the value of that service in relation to the business. 

STEP 3: MARKET ANALYSIS 

In this section, you'll write a data-driven breakdown of the Credit Repair Industry, your target market, market trends, potential opportunities, partnerships, and competitor analysis. 

Be sure to cite the sources of your critical data points, especially if they're taken from industry reports or national media outlets. They bolster your analysis and present you as a serious professional. 

STEP 4: MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY 

Use your Market Analysis data to define who your customer is, where to find them, and how your company will position itself to serve them best.

This should include the channels and tactics you will use to reach your targets, whether print media, social media, email, content, or affiliate marketing tactics. 

In this section, you should also define your pricing strategy, sales process, and customer retention tactics.

STEP 5: FINANCIAL PLAN 

This is where you build a budget. Outline all your expenses and make realistic projections for expected revenue, profits, loss, and funding needs.

You should also build a system of tracking your Return On Investment and measuring the financial performance of your business.

STEP 6: OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT 

This is your opportunity to explain how your business is organized and how it actually runs.

This is also where you explain if you're a sole proprietorship that likes to outsource, a partnership that divides responsibilities, an LLC, etc. 

You use this section to explain your Standard Operating Procedures: hiring and training, implementing changes, tools, and technology. 

As you build your Standard Operating Procedures, you will likely identify holes or challenges, but this is a great time to develop those solutions.

STEP 7: GOALS AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION 

The final step is to present your process for monitoring and evaluating performance. 

This includes setting goals for yourself and your business, tracking customer satisfaction, and conducting regular financial reviews. 

These performance evaluations will alert you when you need to adjust your strategies, refine your processes, and improve aspects of your business.

I know that sounds like a lot, but remember, those with a plan grow faster than those without. If that's not enough, and you're ready to take your Credit Repair Business to the next level, go to Credit Repair Cloud - Free Training and take our Masterclass! 

The Masterclass was built by a team of Credit Heroes with decades of experience, serving thousands of clients. It comes with six months of Software, in-depth Marketing, Sales, and Business lessons, and our Advanced Disputing, Affiliates, and Automations training courses.

MY FINAL POINT

Creating a 7-Step Business Plan may seem daunting, but it will answer questions you didn't think to ask, reveal skills you didn't know you had, and put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
