Writing a Simple One-Page Business Plan
You do not need a 40-page document. You need clarity on five things — and they fit on one page.
A plan is only useful if you actually use it. Skip the giant document and answer these five questions clearly. You can revisit and sharpen them every quarter.
1. What you do
In one sentence, what problem do you solve and for whom? If you cannot say it simply, your customers will not understand it either.
2. Who you serve
Describe your ideal customer specifically. The narrower and clearer the better — it makes every marketing and product decision easier.
3. How you make money
List what you sell, at what price, and how often. Be concrete about your offer and your numbers.
4. What it costs
Your main expenses and what it takes to deliver. Knowing your costs is what lets you price with confidence.
5. Your next goal
One measurable target for the next 90 days. A plan without a near-term goal is just a description.
