Business Plan

A document a funder asks for, carrying the value proposition, the market research behind it, the marketing strategy, and the financial projections that justify what is being requested.

The plan is what a lender or investor reads before deciding, and a stated basis for every projection is what separates evidence from optimism.

Often confused with

Pitch
