I want to finish my one-pager today. I wrote a 22-page business plan, but I won't be able to get funding yet anyway, so I might as well do a one-pager and go by that instead.
@@bplans I already finished it! Two, in fact! Your method was so easy and effective. But I'm so glad I did the work to be self-funding! 100% equity and no debt smells so fine!
@@leeanntran102 I don't know. If I want to get financing, it's going to be at least 22 pages for the business plan. Probably 30. That's just how the game works.
Thanks I been so bamboozled by business plans that expect me to want a limited company and I just want a market stall. My business plan is now on 1 page and my business advisor must be relieved to not need to read an epic novel!

Great question! We would always recommend starting with your business plan first. It can be as simple as a one-page plan and by creating it you'll cover all of the crucial information about your business. This will make it MUCH easier to summarize the most vital info in your executive summary and pitch deck.
