Steps to writing a company profile
Step 1: Identify the profile’s purpose
Business profiles are used in a variety of settings, such as company websites, trade portfolios, and investment strategies. So, before you put pen to paper, you must first determine the profile's goal. Don't worry, you can always change it later if necessary!
Let's pretend your profile is for your company's website. Make a list of topics about your business that your audience would like to learn more about, and organize your material accordingly. You should also make sure that the tone of the article is appropriate for your intended audience. For example, you don't want to make it sound stuffy by blasting it with facts because, quite frankly, no one cares (unless you, of course)!
Step 2: Decide on a style
Now that you've decided on the tone you want to use for your profile, it's time to figure out how you'll present the content. Do you want a traditional style separated down into sections, or do you want it displayed as a timeline? Some organizations, such as Philips, seek to express their stories in a more visual way.
That said, as long as it's suitable with your brand and sector, you shouldn't be afraid to be unusual and stray from the norm. If you're an accounting business, for example, you should definitely keep to the typical structure, which includes details about previous honors and achievements.
Step 3: Tell a story
When you're attempting to get people to care about your company, you need to tell a compelling tale. It's not enough to merely give dates and figures; you must also ensure that your reader is on board when telling your company's story.
Whether you started with a lemonade stand or grew up in the family business, how you tell your story is the most critical factor. After all, not everyone's tale will be as thrilling as the next.
Take a look at Zappos' approach for some ideas, as this well-known retailer has mastered the art of storytelling.
Step 4: Outline your mission statement
If your company doesn't already have a mission statement, now is the time to get down to business and craft a compelling statement about your company's beliefs, ethos, and niche. You must explain what you provide and how you want to grow as a company to your readers, essentially telling them why they should select you over a competition.
Disney's mission statement, for example, encourages you to think that they will present you with the world's most creative entertainment experience:
 'The Walt Disney Company's purpose is to be one of the world's premier entertainment and information producers and providers.' We aim to create the most creative, innovative, and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world by using our portfolio of brands to differentiate our content, services, and consumer products.'
Step 5: Keep a consistent format throughout
When it comes to drafting a business profile, some creative types can let their imaginations run wild. So, if you're one of those people, pay close attention to the following advice!
Make sure your formatting is consistent. Use the same font and size throughout your content and in your headers, for example. Don't use distracting images or bright colours to overshadow your profile. Stick to those that are consistent with your overall brand.
For example, at CareerAddict, we use specific fonts and colours (black and orange) that are carried over into all of our products, including our social media channels.
Step 6: Write the company history in chronological order
Jumping back and forth from the past to the present will only confuse your reader, so list the company's history in chronological sequence. It is totally up to you whether this is done in the form of a timeline or paragraphs. The most important thing is to make sure it flows and makes sense to the reader.
Step 7: Include testimonials
Step 8: Include your contact information
Step 9: Add a call-to-action
Step 10: Proofread, proofread, proofread
