A working page for your next decision

One-Page Business Plan Template

Write an original one-page summary of how the business could work. Treat each statement as an assumption until evidence supports it.

Illustrative example

This example explains how to use the worksheet. It is not a real company, a recommended target or a record of results.

Customer and problem: Independent repair shops lose time reconciling approvals across email and phone.
Offer and useful outcome: A shared view of estimates awaiting approval with a traceable activity history.
How customers will find and buy it: Founder-led outreach to local shops followed by a clearly scoped paid pilot.
Revenue and cost assumptions: Subscription hypothesis. Price and support costs are unvalidated; test willingness to pay and record delivery labour.
Delivery and resources: Basic product, customer onboarding, permissions, data backup and a support owner.
Risks, evidence and next action: Existing booking tools may already solve the problem. Interview users of those tools before building integrations.

Choose one real decision and use the same customer segment throughout.
Record facts, estimates and unknowns separately. Attach source URLs and dates to claims.
Review the tradeoffs with the people doing the work, then assign the next action.
Revisit the worksheet when the evidence changes. A completed form is not proof that the business will work.
