Business Plan Writers and Consultants in Lima, Peru
Lima is the commercial heart of Peru and the centre of a startup ecosystem that has matured fast over the last decade. Home to the country's largest banks, its most active investors and a growing roster of fintech and e-commerce founders, the city has built real momentum behind a deliberate public effort to fund innovation. From the financial district of San Isidro to the coworking floors of Miraflores, limeño founders are building for Peru and increasingly for the wider Andean and Latin American market. What turns that ambition into funded reality is a clear, credible business plan — and that is the work Avvale does for founders in Lima.
A straight word about us first. Avvale is a London-based business-plan and pitch-deck consultancy. We do not have an office in Lima, and we will never claim otherwise. We work with Peruvian founders remotely, exactly as we do across 30 countries, and it is the quality of the plan that travels. If you want a team that understands both how a Peruvian bank or development agency reads a projection and how an international investor weighs a Series A, that is precisely the gap we fill.
Business plan services for Lima businesses
Peruvian capital is layered between strong public institutions and a deep private banking sector, and each wants the plan presented its way. COFIDE, the development bank of Peru, has become a catalyst for venture capital through its Fondo de Capital para Emprendimiento e Innovación — the country's first venture fund of funds — which channels capital into funds that back Peruvian startups. ProInnóvate (the national innovation program, building on the work of Innóvate Perú) runs Startup Perú, co-financing high-impact, innovation-led ventures with seed capital awarded by competitive selection. These public sources are scored against defined rubrics, and a plan that wins a Startup Perú grant is a different document from one that clears a bank.
On the banking side, the major commercial banks — BCP (Banco de Crédito del Perú), BBVA Perú, Interbank and Scotiabank Perú among them — extend working-capital and expansion credit on cash flow, collateral and repayment capacity, so a bank-ready plan needs a month-by-month cash-flow model, sensitivity analysis and a repayment narrative a credit committee can approve cleanly. For founders raising from venture investors, especially internationally, we build the plan to the structure the round demands, which for cross-border raises often means projections in US dollars and a holding-company arrangement above the Peruvian operating entity. And for founders pursuing investor or startup visas abroad, we prepare the long-form business plan immigration authorities require, with the market analysis, hiring plan and capital schedule those applications are graded on.
Lima's startup and funding ecosystem
Lima anchors Peru's startup activity, and the support infrastructure has deepened considerably. Startup Perú, run through ProInnóvate under the Ministry of Production, has become the backbone of early-stage public funding, co-financing innovative ventures with the potential to scale regionally and globally. COFIDE's fund of funds is steadily closing the financing gap above seed stage, working alongside the local venture community — including the industry association PECAP — to strengthen the pipeline of fundable companies. Fintech is the leading vertical, reflecting Peru's large underbanked market, with strong activity also in e-commerce, logistics, agritech, edtech and SaaS.
The practical takeaway is that capital is reachable across the journey — seed co-financing through Startup Perú, fund-of-funds capital catalysed by COFIDE, bank credit through BCP, BBVA, Interbank and Scotiabank, and venture rounds from local and regional investors. But the channels do not share a rulebook. The plan that wins a Startup Perú grant is not the deck that lands a venture term sheet, and neither is the document a BCP credit officer signs off. We tailor each one to the specific reader, so the right audience always gets the right story.
Why Lima founders choose Avvale
The track record makes the case. Avvale has helped clients raise over $1B in funding and worked with more than 300 companies across 30 countries. Our plans and decks have supported founders who went on to appear on Shark Tank and Dragons' Den, and our work carries a 4-star rating across 150+ reviews.

Pricing is transparent. Most engagements run between $1,000 and $3,500 depending on scope and complexity, and we open every engagement with a free consultation so you can decide we are the right fit before spending anything. And the honest framing once more: we are London-based and we work remotely. For a Lima founder, that often turns out to be the advantage — you get a team fluent in the international investor language a cross-border raise depends on, while still building a plan that respects how COFIDE, Startup Perú and Peruvian banks actually evaluate a business.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a different plan for Startup Perú versus a bank loan?
Yes. A Startup Perú grant through ProInnóvate is scored by a competitive selection process on innovation, impact and scalability, while a facility from BCP, BBVA, Interbank or Scotiabank is judged on cash flow, collateral and repayment capacity. We build the version that matches your funding path, and many Lima clients ask us to prepare more than one.
What role does COFIDE play, and does it change how my plan should read?
COFIDE acts mainly as a fund of funds, channelling capital into venture funds rather than investing in startups directly, so reaching that capital usually means convincing one of the funds it backs. That makes a clean, investor-grade plan and model important, which is exactly what we build — framed for the venture audience that ultimately makes the call.
If I raise internationally, should my plan be in soles or US dollars?
For domestic credit through BCP, BBVA, Interbank or Scotiabank, we model in soles. For a cross-border raise, projections are best in US dollars, often through a holding-company structure above your Peruvian entity, which is how many international rounds in the region are arranged. We can model the plan either way, or both.
Do you work with Peruvian founders given that you are based in London?
Yes, regularly. We are a London-based, remote consultancy and Lima is one of the active startup cities we serve. The whole engagement runs over video calls and shared documents, on a schedule that fits the time difference.
How much does a business plan cost and how do I start?
Most projects fall between $1,000 and $3,500 depending on scope. We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to scope your needs and confirm fit. You can book that consultation or review our packages and pricing using the links above.
