Can I use this plan for a funding application?

The plan includes the core business, market, operations, funding and financial sections commonly assessed in applications. You will also attach the personal, regulatory and supporting documents requested by the funder.

Can I change the startup amount and financial figures?

Yes. The Excel model is editable. Change the scale, client or transaction volumes, fees, costs and staffing inputs where needed, and the financial statements and cash flow will recalculate.

What exactly do I receive?

You receive the complete Word business plan, five-year Excel financial model, editable pitch deck and step-by-step guide as digital files after successful payment.

Can I get a refund?
