About Me


SBA Business Plan Writer | Business & Law School–Trained Advisor

Hi, I’m Nick Coriano—a business plan writer and strategic advisor who helps entrepreneurs, business buyers, and growing companies secure funding through clear, lender-ready SBA business plans and professional financial projections.

Over the past decade, I’ve written more than 2,000 business plans for startups, acquisitions, franchises, and expanding businesses across virtually every industry. Those plans have helped clients secure millions of dollars in SBA-backed funding and move confidently from idea to execution.


My Background

I bring a unique blend of business training, legal education, and real-world advisory experience to every project.

I earned my education in both business school and law school, giving me a strong foundation in:

  • Financial analysis and forecasting
  • Business strategy and operations
  • Risk management and compliance
  • Contractual and legal structure
  • Lender expectations and underwriting logic

That combination allows me to approach business planning not as a template exercise—but as a strategic process built around how banks, SBA lenders, and credit committees actually think.


What I Do

I specialize in helping clients prepare for SBA financing by delivering:

  • SBA-ready business plans
  • 3–5 year financial projections
  • Loan narratives and use-of-funds strategies
  • Acquisition and franchise business plans
  • Investor-ready pitch decks
  • Company formations and structure guidance

My focus isn’t just on writing—it’s on positioning. Every plan is built to answer the lender’s core questions:

Is this business viable?
Is management prepared?
Can this loan realistically be repaid?


Why My Approach Is Different

Most business plans fail not because the idea is bad—but because the plan is written for the wrong audience.

Investor plans focus on growth stories.
SBA business plans focus on stability, cash flow, and risk.

I write specifically for that second audience.

With experience across 2,000+ plans, I’ve seen exactly what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to:

  • SBA 7(a) loans
  • SBA 504 loans
  • Microloans
  • Community Advantage loans
  • CAPLines
  • Express loans
  • Export financing
  • Startup and acquisition funding

That experience allows me to build plans that feel familiar and credible to lenders—because they are.


Who I Work With

I’ve worked with:

  • First-time entrepreneurs
  • Franchise buyers
  • Business acquisition clients
  • Contractors and service providers
  • Healthcare and professional practices
  • Manufacturers and distributors
  • Retail and e-commerce founders
  • Veterans, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses

Whether you’re launching your first company or buying your fifth, my role is the same:
make sure your business plan works as hard as you do.


My Commitment to Clients

When you work with me, you’re not getting outsourced templates or generic writing. You’re getting:

  • Direct involvement in your project
  • Clear communication throughout the process
  • Financials that make sense in the real world
  • A plan built for approval—not just presentation

I take pride in delivering work that clients feel confident putting in front of bankers, investors, and partners.
