The Coffee Profit

Over the past couple of years that I've been writing this blog I've been contacted directly by dozens of you for advice on either business plans or specific questions unique to your business.  Many people are searching for advice and help from someone they trust without spending half their budget on consulting fees or worse, being made to feel insignificant because you can't afford (or are too smart to pay) exorbitant fees for services you are not certain you need or understand.

It is for this reason that I am offering a service for anyone out there who already has a business plan, but just wants someone to go over the plan, line by line, including the financials, and provide feedback designed to save you money.  Introducing...The Coffee Profit

Welcome to The Coffee Profit.  For 17 years I’ve owned and operated espresso bars and a wholesale roasting company while posting my business observations on a successful blog. Through my blog, many people hoping to open a coffee shop, espresso bar or roasting company have come to me for opinions about their business plans and most importantly their financial projections.
If you search coffee consultants on the web a long list of “We can do everything” companies pop up while the sound of your money flying out the door haunts your sleep.  You’ll never learn to fly by watching a chicken flap its wings…
I’m not those guys!
I offer one service, and one service only…I read the business plan you’ve created yourself and offer feedback and advice that is guaranteed to save you thousands of dollars.  Simply contact me and I’ll send you a link to upload your business plan to a secure Dropbox Folder, give me a week to review and produce recommendations, then we’ll schedule a one hour phone call to save you money.  Only after you are completely satisfied with our phone conversation will you receive an invoice…wait for it…for only $250.00.   If you recognize that I’ve saved you thousands of dollars and improved your chances for success, you can opt to place yourself on a $50 monthly program where, once your business is open, I will review your monthly financial statements and schedule a half hour conversation to discuss your results.
If this sounds like the kind of service that will help you make money in your coffee business, contact me at rich@thecoffeeprofit.com
