The Vancouver and Seattle business plan firm has helped entrepreneurs in 90+ countries win bank loans, investor capital and business immigration approvals.
For small-business owners and aspiring immigrants who have ever felt their funding application was just another piece of paper in a stack, a new milestone from Mikel Consulting suggests the right plan can be worth billions. The business plan writing firm, which serves clients across Canada, the United States and internationally, announced that its clients have now secured more than $1.6 billion in funding using business plans, financial models and pitch decks prepared by its team.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — That staggering figure comes from more than 4,000 business plans and accompanying financial projections. Among those, over 1,900 plans were designed for bank and government-backed financing, more than 1,000 targeted investor funding and commercial growth, and over 1,000 were tailored for business immigration applications. The firm boasts an average 4.9-star rating from more than 1,000 verified client reviews and reports a 97% client success rate.
Also worth a look: EB5AN’s Wyoming project repays millions on EB-5 loan more than three years early and Main Line luxury home prices jump 11.6% as single-family median hits $1.2 million.
Co-founders Kelin Ainsworth, MBA, and Mitch Fillman have personally delivered more than 3,500 of those plans together. Kelin leads business plan strategy and writing, while Mitch handles the financial modelling behind each plan, drawing on accounting and financial analysis experience with BDO.
“Every one of those dollars represents a business owner who walked into a bank, an investor meeting or an immigration interview with a plan they could stand behind,” said Mitch Fillman, Co-founder and Partner at Mikel Consulting. “Each plan is built around the client’s business, their numbers and the person who’s going to review it, and that approach is what got us here.”
Real Results for Real Businesses
The firm’s work has produced concrete wins across a range of industries. Recent client outcomes include up to $5.5 million in provincial funding awarded to Mako Wood Furniture, $2.15 million in bank financing secured by MapleCures, and a $1 million bank loan for Sempre Uno. Additional financing successes include $500,000 for Playground Pilates, a $250,000 CSBFP-backed loan for Crack Burger, and $128,475 in bank financing for Chic Nail Lounge.
On the investment side, OwnersBox raised a $1.72 million Series A with backing from NFL legend Drew Brees, while Core Impact secured $450,000 using investor materials prepared by Mikel Consulting. Lunata Beauty also raised $250,000 in seed funding and gained national exposure through CBC’s Dragons’ Den.
These results span manufacturing, healthcare, technology, hospitality, fitness and consumer products, demonstrating the firm’s experience supporting businesses of different sizes and stages of growth. More examples are available in the firm’s case studies.
