Funding business plan, bank-ready, in 48 hours
A business plan written for the application you are actually making: SEFA, NYDA or IDC funding, a bank loan, a landlord who wants to see a plan before signing the lease, or a franchise application. Structured the way that funder assesses, with financials built on your numbers. Fixed price, in writing, before anything starts.
Free funder checklist. Tell me which funder you are applying to — SEFA, NYDA, IDC or a bank — and I will send you, the same day, the exact document checklist that funder assesses applications against. Free, no obligation, and useful even if you write the plan yourself. WhatsApp us or email ruben@deadlinebiddesk.com.
Who this is for
- SEFA loan applications (direct lending and via intermediaries).
- NYDA grant and voucher applications for entrepreneurs aged 18–35.
- IDC and other development-finance applications.
- Bank business loans and overdraft applications.
- Landlords and franchisors who require a plan before signing.

Update or refresh of an existing plan
R2,500 — fixed, 50% deposit to startYou already have a plan but the funder, the numbers or the business has changed. I rework the existing document to the new application: updated financials, updated structure, updated facts. You supply the current plan in an editable format.
For context: established South African consultancies commonly quote R15,000 and upwards for a funder-ready plan. This desk charges less because it is one writer with no office, no sales staff and no meetings — not because less work goes into the document.
How it works
- Send what you have — on WhatsApp or by email. The funder's name, what the money is for, and whatever documents or notes exist. It does not have to be tidy.
- Fixed quote, same day. One of the three prices above, confirmed in writing. No hourly billing, no surprises.
- 50% deposit by card. Paid through a secure Yoco payment link. No bank details are exchanged.
- Draft in 48 hours from deposit and complete information.
- One revision round on your written comments.
- Balance on delivery of the final document, by the same card link.
What I need from you
- Which funder or bank, and how much you are applying for.
- Company registration details (or your ID if not yet registered — I will say if the funder requires registration first).
- Your numbers: prices, costs, existing sales if trading, and what the funding buys.
- CVs or short backgrounds of the owner and any key people.
- Quotes for the equipment or stock the funding buys, if you have them.
I write from what you send. I do not invent revenue, customers, qualifications or track record — a plan built on invented facts fails at verification, and you carry that risk, not me.
Who you are dealing with
Ruben Mocke, sole proprietor, Mossel Bay, South Africa. One writer, not a call centre. Everything — quote, scope, price, delivery date — is agreed in writing before work starts, so it is all on the record. Payment is by card through a secure Yoco link only: I will never ask you to EFT money to a bank account given by email, which is how funding-application scams usually work. If anyone asks you for an EFT in this desk's name, it is not me.
What I do not do
- I am not an agent of SEFA, NYDA, IDC or any bank, and I have no influence on their decisions. A well-written plan does not guarantee approval, and anyone who promises approval is lying to you.
- No success fees, no percentage of the funding. Fixed price only.
- No registration or submission on your behalf — you sign and you submit.
- No financial, legal or tax advice. The plan presents your numbers; it does not replace an accountant.
