When to use it.
Business Plan is a fifteen-slide presentation for planning a year and then taking that plan to a bank, a partner or your own team. It runs from the business in one line through what you sell and to whom, the market, how you make money and your price list, into a four-year sales forecast, costs and margin, the team and the hires you need, a four-phase roadmap, the risks and the funding ask. Every number is wired to the charts, so changing the forecast changes the line and the year figures together.
