Looking for sample business plans that received funding? Business plans that received funding have several things in common you should seek out. For one thing, they describe a business model that investors can immediately grasp – no arcane or abstract idea that requires endless explanation is likely to attract attention. Secondly, they show a reasonable growth rate and yet still offer a highly appealing investment opportunity for the financial backers. Third, they include a quick break-even and pro forma with underlying assumptions that make sense. A business plan that receives funding, whether from an investor or an SBA-backed lender, will commonly have:
• A compelling market need that's well identified and researched
• Current data about the prospective customer base
• A cogent marketing strategy
• A 5-year pro forma with net profit and ROI clearly outlined
• A sound personnel plan, exit strategy, future services description, and more
If this sounds like a lot of criteria, that's because a business plan that receives funding is generally a spot-on proposal – something where the market need is obvious, the potential returns are strong yet reasonable, and the competition doesn't pose so strict a barrier that the risks don't seem worthwhile. Business plans that received funding are generally comprehensive without being overly long (25-30 pages should do), well written and researched, and prepared by a team of experts that knows what your industry is like.
