A service proposal is used
for asking for funding, bidding on a RFP or used to get investors for your
small business. Collect all of the information on your service from brochures, your
website and ensure that graphs that will be included are relevant. Plan your
proposal early before writing it.

Write an executive summary
which is a brief summary of the project. Tell the evaluators or client why your
small business is the best for the contract.
Write the next section which
you will give your firm qualifications information. Write about the number of
similar types of jobs that you have had in the past. State the size of each
job. Give references from similar types
of jobs that you have done.
Write your personnel
information and the responsibilities of key employees in your firm. List the
supervisors of the service business.
Address the cost estimate
and explain the price you are proposing. List a final price for the
project. Include each service that is
proposed with a detailed fee schedule.
Write all expected
completion dates. Provide a methodology for documenting bidding on a RFP the
completion dates. Address every topic in the request for proposal (RFP) and
address them in the order that they appear in the RFP.
Eliminate your errors by
proofreading and editing. Rewrite sections that are too vague and don’t explain
the full meaning of what you are proposing.
Avoid typos that will make your proposal look unprofessional and
amateurs.
Tips
Have the proposal completed before
the deadline so you will have time to revise the proposal.
Demonstrate that your firm
has the capability to perform the job.
