Are you trying to determine what sets a high level business plan from simply the status quo? While there is no question that you will find a million and one business plan templates on the Internet – and that there are even more floating around business schools – the simple fact is that most business plans simply are not that good. This is not because the entrepreneur lacks intelligence or business acumen. Rather, it is because most simply do not have a firm understanding of specifically what investors or lenders want from a business plan. A high level business plan then hits the following points, which are what investors or lenders want to see:
• An analysis of the competition
• Details about your value proposition
• Viable financials
• Streamlined, concise writing
While the first three points are somewhat obvious, the last is one that many entrepreneurs tend to overlook. In most business plans, the approach that entrepreneurs take is to cram as much information, charts, and tables as possible into the business plan with the hopes that the investor will read and digest all of it, assuming then that the entrepreneur has covered every facet of their business concept. This simply is not the case and providing too much information can make a business plan look scattered and unfocused.
