Business Project Proposal

A business proposal is a written document sent to a prospective client in order to obtain a specific job. Proposals usually involve complex or unusual one-time services like landscaping a park, surveying a market, or building a refinery. Unlike a business plan, which is written to run your company and raise capital, a business proposal is an unsolicited or solicited bid for business. There are two types of business proposal that can help you gain more business to grow your company.

" Solicited Business Proposal: A corporation or government body is seeking a business to fulfill a project or complete a task and thereby, allows companies to bid for the project. An open bid is placed on the market with other companies competing for an interview spot. The winning candidate is offered the project.

" Unsolicited Business Proposal: At some point, your small business may want to do business with a larger company or forge a joint venture.

This form is designed to help address a wide spectrum of issues, including:
" Whether the project will produce revenue or save your client money;
" The reasons the project is necessary;
" How the organization will benefit;
" How the new feature will behave; and
" How the project will be judged a success.
