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, technical and supporting documents requested by the funder.

Can I change the startup amount and financial figures?

Yes. The Excel model is editable. Change the services or product, customers, pricing, project or subscription volumes, technology costs and staffing inputs where needed, and the financial statements and cash flow will recalculate.
