A business plan is the physical representation of the thoughts, research, and strategies that you use to define your company. For high growth businesses, we do not suggest that you spend time building a 'long form' written plan (no '50-pagers' please!). However the work has to be done. Your best outcome will be to create a powerful pitch deck and 3+ years of financial forecasts. The pitch deck can be used for talking your business through with anyone. This includes investors, potential employees and anyone you want to connect with about your business. LivePlan is the leading cloud-based business plan software.
