Wondering what goes into a 7 Page Business Plan? It's not the most common document, but in certain cases it might be exactly what you need. Sometimes referred to as an extended executive summary, the 7 page business plan is a snapshot of your past performance or objectives going forward. It includes a brief summary of your market, the targets you have for your service suite, and the specifics about the goods or service you deliver. A quick overview about the marketing initiatives you use, the people you rely on, and the competition you face should do the trick. A seven page business plan should describe in summary form:
• Your concept/product
• The market segmentation
• Threats or opportunities
• Funding requirements
• Use of funds
• Projected revenues and returns
• Exit strategy, if applicable
The specifics of a 7 page business plan will depend in large part on your desires, the needs of your audience, and the amount of capital you're seeking if any. A proposal for a significant sum of money, particularly if your business is a start-up, will most likely require a full (30 page) plan with detailed information about the market and your plans. But a quick presentation to secure seed capital, introduce a new business idea, or get expansion funding from a source already familiar with what you do should require only an extended executive summary like this one.
