Cayenne Consulting, an international business plan consulting firm, was headquartered in Orange County for 12 years before returning to Arizona in 2024. Since forming in 2001, our firm has served over 2,400 clients worldwide and has grown to become the world’s leading provider of premium business plans. We succeed only because our clients succeed.
We are dedicated to promoting startups across Orange County. Our business planning professionals support local entrepreneur-focused communities including OCTANe, the Tech Coast Venture Network, Linked OC, and SCORE Orange County. We are also a proud member of the Better Business Bureau of Orange County & San Diego.
As a service to local entrepreneurs, Cayenne Consulting maintains a directory of resources for Orange County and Los Angeles entrepreneurs and a directory of venture capital, angel investor, and private equity investors in LA and OC.
Our professional business plan consultants work with entrepreneurs in the following areas:
- Business plan consulting
- Industry & competitor research
- Pitch deck (investor presentation) preparation
- Financial forecasts (pro formas)
- Capital formation strategy
Our business plan consultants in Orange County have earned glowing praise from clients:
I thought it would be a complicated, difficult exercise to have our vision put on paper. Our Cayenne Consultant took my pieces and created a concise business model that has now made our vision even clearer. Cayenne Consulting was extremely diligent and prompt in delivering the business plan as promised. From start to finish the whole process took less than 60 days to complete this very complicated plan.

Our OC business plan consultants serve entrepreneurs throughout the Southland, including Irvine, Newport Beach, Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Yorba Linda, Santa Ana, and San Diego. Although we perform the majority of our work remotely, we are happy to meet at your offices or at another mutually convenient location if necessary.
Why Choose Cayenne? Nine Great Reasons!
Ongoing Support
We don’t stop when the business plan is complete. We have a talented team ready to help you implement it as well, either on a retained basis as interim members of your founding team or on a project basis, as needed.
Fully Customized
Some business plan writers charge extremely low fees because they have a cookie-cutter, assembly-line approach. You get what you pay for. We work from scratch to represent your unique vision, not somebody else’s.
Get Investors To Notice
Most entrepreneurs can’t get investors to
return their calls. A majority of our clients secure meetings with potential funders. Our team’s efforts have contributed to over $4.3 billion in financing!
Develop a Winning Strategy
Most so-called “business plan consultants” take whatever you tell them and type it into software. We go much deeper and help develop a viable strategy for success, which we then express in a compelling business plan.
Work With True Experts
We’ve walked in your shoes and we understand what you’re going through. Many of us have advanced degrees from institutions like Harvard, Wharton, Berkeley, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, Yale, Dartmouth, and Chicago.
Save Money - Really!
We’re not cheap, but about half of our clients came to us after a business plan prepared by a less qualified business plan consultant did not work out. Why not get it right the first time and save money?
No Salespeople
Deal directly with a senior business plan consultant from Day One – not a commissioned salesperson who will hand you off to a junior writer. Personal relationships matter, and you need to know exactly who you’re dealing with.
Get it Right the First Time
Funding is a binary event: either you succeed or you fail. If you fail, most investors won’t give you a second chance. Learn about the pros and cons of various approaches to developing business plans.
Avoid Costly Mistakes
We know what works, and, more importantly, what doesn’t. A single mistake can render your plan unfundable. We wrote the original and often-cited article on Why Business Plans Don’t Get Funded.
