Simple Business Plan

Description

Write a clear business plan without a 40-page template. Answer the key questions, size your market, set your assumptions and get a 3-year projection with milestones, linked to your startup costs. This simple business plan template works in Excel and Google Sheets.

What it does

• Plan sections: problem, solution, customers, competition and more
• Market size: total, serviceable and obtainable
• Assumptions that drive a 3-year revenue and profit projection
• Milestones with dates and status
• Startup costs linked in, with a dashboard of the key numbers

How it works

1. Settings: enter your business name and currency.
2. Business Plan: fill in each section, your market sizes and assumptions.
3. Startup Costs: list what you need to start; the plan reads from it.

What’s inside

Start Here guide, Dashboard (12 headline numbers and 6 charts), Startup Costs, Business Plan, Analysis and Settings sheets.

Good to know

• Excel and Google Sheets: open it in Microsoft Excel, or upload it to Google Drive and choose Open with → Google Sheets. Formulas, dropdowns and charts carry over.
• Colour-coded: blue cells are for your entries, grey cells calculate automatically, so you can’t break a formula by accident.
• Sample data included: a demo business fills every sheet so the dashboard works from day one. Clear the blue cells when you start.
• Any currency: amounts show without a symbol, and you set your currency once in Settings.
