“ A business proposal is a written document sent to a prospective client outlining the service you are offering, and explaining why you are the best person or entity for that job. It should also highlight how the service will be conducted and how it will benefit the prospective client.”

A business proposal can be either solicited or unsolicited. With a solicited proposal, the prospective client will put out a request; with an unsolicited proposal, you are be approaching a client in hopes of attracting their business, even though they did not explicitly request a proposal.

It should be pointed out here that a business proposal is not the same thing as a business plan.a business proposal is created to offer a product or service to a client or buyer while a business plan is a formal statement of business goals and how they will be achieved
