You’ll certainly need one if you are looking to raise finance with a lender or an investor. It acts as your personal ‘roadmap’ and outlines the strategy  to build the business and how much funding will be required. Working through all the sections in a plan will help you spot potential issues before they occur, and be a tool for measuring your success. Use our FREE business planning tool to start building your business plan. Complete each section the best you can. Include factual information rather than long narratives. Once completed make sure you submit it and  we’ll review and recommend any support and resources to help your business journey.
