What does the business plan include?
Depending on the purpose, the business plan is created more compactly or in more detail.

For the bank, development loan or financing conversation. More detailed, more numbers-oriented and usually involving 2 to 3 working days.
For programmes where a viable business model, clean planning and comprehensible documents are required.
For more clarity on offering, target group, prices, costs, risks and next steps.

Get a business plan for the startup grant
Many founders need the business plan because they want to apply for the startup grant. For this, the plan must clearly present your business idea, your personal qualifications, your target group, your customer acquisition and the economic viability.
SK Strategies creates the business plan including financial planning and prepares the documents so that they are comprehensible for the expert opinion and the employment agency.
The expert opinion is handled by cooperation partner viso360 and is usually possible within 2 to 4 working days with complete documents.
Important: The decision on the startup grant is always made by the responsible employment agency. Approval cannot be guaranteed.
If you want to develop your business idea together
If you need more than just a document and want to think through your business model together, business plan coaching makes sense.
We work on business idea, target group, positioning, pricing strategy, marketing, financial planning and preparation for meetings with the employment agency, bank or funding body.
Coaching is billed individually by time required. With an approved AVGS, startup coaching can be up to 100 percent funded.
Business plan for bank meeting, loan or funding
For banks, development loans or investors, a business plan needs to be much more detailed. It focuses more on capital requirements, profitability, liquidity, repayment capacity, risks and the personal situation of the founder.
We support you in the development and prepare you for typical questions in the bank meeting.
Depending on the situation, consulting funding programmes at federal or state level may be relevant. Whether funding is possible should be checked before consulting begins.
