How it works

Your business plan project, in four steps

Learn

7 short lessons, each with a video and a quiz.

Start your project

We set up a project plan for you: 15 activities, starting with “Strategise” and “Prepare financial statement”.

Do the work step by step

Work through them one at a time, such as “Conduct detailed research”, “Opeations plans” and “Source quotation”, and watch your progress. You, your apprentice or your consultant can do it.

Get your reports

A status report as you go. The last activities, such as “Business Plan Presentation” and “Update business plan”, lead to a final report you accept. RMK also approves it where a consultant did the work.

The report you get

Your business plan

Who it is for: You, a bank or a funder.

Cover and business dashboard. Who you are and the business at a glance.
Objectives and funding required. What you want to achieve, and the money it needs.
Industry and competition. Your industry, your competitors and what sets you apart.
Operations. Your premises, equipment, process and what goes into what you sell.
Marketing and distribution. How customers hear about you and how you reach them.
Your people. Your staff and the key people who run the business.
Financials. Your assumptions and your projections.

Along the way you also get a status report: the three stages, anything past its date, and every activity in order.
