One-Page Business Plan

Long business plans get written once and never opened again. A one-page plan gets pinned above your desk. It forces the hard choices: who exactly you serve, why they'll pick you, and how the numbers work.

What's inside

• A 10-section, fill-in-the-blanks plan on a single page
• Guidance for every section, with weak and strong examples side by side
• The break-even math lenders read first, explained simply
• A fully filled-in example for a service business

Why it works

If you can't fit your plan on a page, the thinking isn't finished. This template shows you exactly where it isn't, and it's short enough that a lender or partner will read the whole thing.
