When to use it.
Business Memo is a two-page internal memo for announcing a change people need to act on, such as a new policy, an office move or a new way of working. It opens with a masthead laid out like a printed office form: To, From, CC, Date, a reference and the subject. Then it says why the memo exists, the numbers behind the change, and the decision point by point. Page two covers what changes for each group, a dated timeline, actions with owners and due dates, and who to ask. Every name, date and reference is a tinted fill-in.
Made for
- Finance and accounts teams
- Operations managers
- In-house marketing and design teams
- Founders running their own back office

Fill in the masthead: your company name, the memo number, who it goes to and comes from, the date, the reference and the subject.
- Step 2
Write the purpose in two sentences, then the background with the numbers behind the change, so people know why before they read what.
- Step 3
Set out the decision point by point and say what changes for each group it touches.
