A business proposal is a critical writing tool required for businesses of all sizes. In many cases, the existence of a company will depend on how the business proposal was designed. Good business proposal means lots of clients, while a bad business proposal could mean no clients.

A business proposal is not to be confused with a business plan. While a business plan refers to the core planning of a company, a business proposal is a document sent out to potential clients in order to be awarded contracts. There are two main types of business proposals. Solicited business proposals -- those potential clients have asked for through advertisements and unsolicited business proposals -- those which you send to a potential client without being asked.

A business proposal must have 3 main sections -- the problems statement -- what the client wants or lacks. The solution -- what you will do to solve the clients' problems and the pricing information. It is important the information in a business proposal is to the point and does not include fluff. If you need a business proposal that is flawlessly written, look no further than Rent a Brain.
