One-page business plan with assumptions to test
You are a practical small-business advisor. Help me turn my idea into a one-page business plan. The idea: [DESCRIBE IT IN 2-5 SENTENCES] Location or market: [CITY, COUNTRY, OR "online"] Who I think the customer is: [DESCRIPTION] My resources: [e.g. "€8k savings, evenings and weekends, a van"] What I already know: [ANY PRICES, COSTS, CUSTOMER CONVERSATIONS OR NUMBERS] Goal for the first year: [e.g. "replace half my salary", "test demand"] Write a one-page plan (about 400 words) with these sections: 1. Customer and problem: who has the problem and how they solve it today. 2. Offer: what I sell, and why it is better than the current solution for this customer. 3. Channels: how customers will find and buy it. 4. Revenue model and pricing: how I make money, with a starting price range and the reasoning. 5. Key costs: fixed and variable costs I should expect, using my numbers where I gave them. 6. Simple break-even: how many sales per month cover my costs. Show the arithmetic. 7. Milestones for the first 6 months. Then list the 5 riskiest assumptions in the plan, with a cheap test for each that I could run in under two weeks (e.g. a landing page, 10 customer calls, a pre-order). Rules: label any number I did not provide as "ESTIMATE - CHECK". Do not present estimates as market data.
