Business Plans & Funding · Fort Worth
Execute-first, right here in Fort Worth
Fort Worth runs on established, often family-held businesses, and plans here are frequently written for a transition rather than a launch — a succession, a buyout, an expansion funded against real assets. That changes the document: history carries more weight than projection, and the lender wants to see the business continue without the person who built it.
Succession is the recurring theme. A plan written for a handover has to show a business that runs on documented process rather than on one person’s relationships, because that is precisely what a lender is testing when the founder’s name comes off the door.
In a succession or buyout the awkward discovery is usually customer concentration: a large share of revenue sits with a handful of relationships that belong, in practice, to the person leaving. Lenders look for exactly this, and a plan that does not address it is not credible.
The document therefore has to show what holds those accounts without the founder — contracts, service history, the people who actually do the work — or be honest that the transition carries risk and describe how it is being managed.
For a succession the alternatives are a business broker with a template, or an attorney-led process that covers the legal transfer and not the operating case. Both have their place. The gap they leave is the document that shows a lender the business runs without the departing owner, which is usually the binding question.

Local Funding
Who reads a Fort Worth plan
Most Fort Worth plans are written for a handover or an expansion, not a launch. That changes who reads the document and what they are testing.
Tarrant County banks and SBA lenders
In a succession or a buyout, the lender is testing whether the business keeps running when the founder’s name comes off the door. Operating history carries more weight than projection, and customer concentration is the first thing an underwriter looks for.
SBA Dallas / Fort Worth District Office
The same district office covers Tarrant County and the rest of its 72-county territory. It connects owners to SBA funding programs, counseling, and participating lenders. The lender, not the SBA, underwrites the loan.
Tarrant SBDC
Based at Tarrant County College and part of the North Texas SBDC Network. It offers free one-on-one advising and low-cost workshops for owners in Tarrant County. For a straightforward plan, start there.
SCORE Fort Worth
Volunteer mentors with operating experience. Worth a conversation before a succession plan is written, not after.
The seller, a partner, or family
In a buyout the plan is often read by the person being bought out, who may carry a note. They want the same thing a bank does: evidence that the business can pay them from the cash it already generates.
A lending marketplace
Where a bank is not the right fit, CMA can introduce you to National Business Capital, a marketplace with a network of 75+ lenders. We prepare the financials and position the application.
CMA is a consulting firm headquartered in Dallas. It is not a lender, a business broker, or a law firm, and is not affiliated with the SBA, the SBDC, or SCORE. The legal transfer in a sale or succession belongs with your attorney.
Disclosure: National Business Capital is a referral partner, not a lender. CMA does not make loans or credit decisions, and CMA may receive a referral fee if you obtain financing through them.

FAQ
Business Plans & Funding in Fort Worth — questions
Do you work with businesses in Fort Worth?
Yes. Fort Worth and the wider Tarrant County area sit inside our standing on-site territory — in-person sessions and floor-level work carry no travel premium. Business Plans & Funding for Fort Worth clients runs to the same fixed-scope, fixed-price standard as everywhere CMA works.
How does a Fort Worth engagement start?
With a 30-minute intro call: your situation, an exact scope, and a fixed price in writing — no obligation. From there the work begins, with deliverables and a timeline you can hold us to.
How much does a business plan cost in Fort Worth?
The same published prices as every CMA market: $3,250 for financing of $250K to $2M, $7,500 for $2M to $25M, and from $12,500 for project finance. A smaller request can use the $1,250 Essential Plan. Fort Worth is inside our standing on-site territory, so there is no travel premium.
Do you work on site in Fort Worth, or remotely?
Both, and the choice is made by the work rather than the postcode. Fort Worth sits inside our standing on-site territory, so in-person working sessions and floor-level work carry no travel premium. Document-driven work — plans, decks, research, models — runs just as well on a remote working-session cadence.
Will the plan be written for my business, or filled in from a template?
Written for your business. The financial model is built from your own pricing, costs, and capacity, and the narrative is written after it so the two agree. Templates are what get plans sent back: an underwriter reads dozens a month and recognizes one immediately.
Can you write a plan for a family succession or a partner buyout?
Yes. That is the most common Fort Worth brief. The plan has to show a business that runs on documented process and contracts, not on one person’s relationships, and it has to address customer concentration directly. Where the transition carries risk, the plan says so and describes how it is being managed.
How long does a Fort Worth business plan take?
Typically about 2 weeks for financing of $250K to $2M, and as little as 5 business days when a closing date requires it. Larger financing takes about 3 to 5 weeks. The timeline is fixed in the written scope. Succession plans move at the speed the financial records can be gathered.
Do you have an office in Fort Worth?
No. CMA is headquartered at 1910 Pacific Avenue in downtown Dallas, about thirty miles away. Fort Worth and Tarrant County are inside our standing on-site territory, so we come to you for working sessions and the cost of doing so never appears on an invoice.
Do you handle the legal side of a sale or succession?
No. CMA writes the operating and financial case a lender or a buyer reads. The legal transfer, the tax structure, and the valuation opinion belong with your attorney and your CPA, and we work alongside them.
