Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plan work for solo PIs and agencies?
Yes. Solo operators can focus on low-overhead services like background checks and targeted surveillance, while agencies can scale into corporate fraud and attorney retainers. The template is fully editable in Word/PDF, so you can adjust service menus, pricing, and territories as you grow without rewriting the entire plan from scratch.
Is licensing and compliance covered?
Yes. The operations section outlines licensing, insurance, and evidence handling so you can adapt it to your state. Many investigators add specifics like Crosstrax or Trackops for case management, SpyTec or BrickHouse GPS trackers for mobile surveillance, and secure cloud storage to demonstrate a complete, compliant workflow to lenders.
Can I adjust the financials and pricing?
Absolutely. Edit hourly surveillance rates, flat-fee background checks, mileage, rush premiums, and retainer packages directly in Word. The 3-year forecast reflects your assumptions, so you can show banks realistic revenue based on billable hours, utilization, and close rates—without hiring a $700+ consultant to model it for you.
How does the plan help me win attorney and corporate clients?
The marketing strategy maps out attorney referral outreach, Google Business Profile optimization, and reputation building on legal directories like Avvo and Martindale. It also includes sample outreach angles, proposal structure, and follow-up cadence so you can convert consultations into retainers and long-term contracts, not just one-off cases.
What tools and software should I plan for on day one?
Plan for PI case management (Crosstrax or Trackops), GPS trackers (SpyTec or BrickHouse), dependable cameras, encrypted cloud storage, and QuickBooks for invoicing. The plan shows where these fit in operations and budgeting, so lenders see you’ve thought through evidence handling, reporting, and billing from the start.
Is this plan SBA/investor ready out of the box?
Yes. It follows SBA expectations with an executive summary, market analysis, operations plan, and 3-year projections. It’s designed to print cleanly for loan packets and to share digitally with investors. Edit your city, rates, and service mix, and you can submit a professional plan the same day you download it.
