About the Business Plan Generator
Business Plan Generator turns a short description of your idea into a draft plan with these sections: executive summary, problem, solution, target customers, market and competition, revenue model, marketing plan, operations, costs and funding, risks and the first 90 days. Choose a one-page summary or a fuller outline. It never invents market sizes or financial figures: where a number is needed, it leaves a placeholder and tells you what to work out. It is a thinking aid, not a replacement for research. Your text is sent to our AI service and is not stored.

What a plan is for
A plan makes you answer the questions that decide whether a business works: who will pay, how much, and what it costs to serve them. Writing it down finds the weak points while changing them is cheap. Many founders find that the plan matters less than what they learn writing it.
Go through the sections
Start with the problem and the customers, not the product. Check that the revenue model, the marketing plan and the costs all fit together: if customers pay 20 and each costs 18 to win and serve, the plan does not work yet. Mark any section where you are guessing, and plan how to test it.
- Problem and customers: who has the problem, how often, what they do today
- Revenue model: price, how often they pay, how many customers you need
- Marketing: where your customers already are
- Risks: what could stop you, and what you would do
Replace every placeholder
Square brackets show where you need facts: rent, prices, supplier costs, wages, your own savings. Ask three suppliers for quotes, check what similar businesses charge and talk to ten potential customers. Real numbers turn a draft into a plan.
Use the first 90 days
The last section turns the plan into action: what you will do in the first month, the second and the third. Make each task small and measurable, such as "sign up five paying customers". Review progress every week.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a finished business plan?
No. It is a structured draft. A real plan needs your research: customer interviews, competitor prices, cost quotes and a financial forecast. The tool gives you the skeleton and the questions to answer.
Why are there placeholders instead of numbers?
Invented numbers look convincing but mislead you and anyone who reads the plan. The tool leaves a placeholder, such as [monthly rent], and you replace it with a real figure.
Can I use it to get a loan or investment?
Lenders and investors expect detailed financial projections and evidence. Use the draft to organise your thinking, then add real data, and ask an adviser or your local small business centre to review it.
What is the difference between the summary and the outline?
The summary gives two to three lines for each section, which fits one page. The outline gives three to five bullet points per section and is better as a working document.
Does it research my market?
No. It uses general knowledge and what you tell it. Competitors, prices and customer needs in your area must come from your own research.
What should I include in my description?
What you sell, who buys it, where you operate, how you make money and what makes you different. A few specific sentences give far better results than a single phrase.
Can I get a financial forecast from it?
No. For simple calculations, try the Break-Even Calculator or the Profit Margin Calculator, and fill the results into your plan.
Is my idea stored?
No. It is sent to our AI service to write the draft and is not stored. Avoid including confidential details or trade secrets.
