Business Plans For Investors
If you are looking for investment, you need a business plan for investors that shows what your business does, who it is for, how it will make money and how their funding will be used. We write investor-ready business plans for UK start-ups and growing businesses looking for angel investment, venture capital or other private funding.
Each plan is written around your business and includes market and industry research, a five year financial forecast and a pitch deck. Your plan will be fully branded and supplied in editable Word and Excel formats, with a PDF available if required. If you have already started with a free template or an AI-generated draft, we can review what you have and turn it into a clear, professional plan that is specific to your business.

Investors want to understand the opportunity, the figures behind it and what their investment could help the business achieve. A strong business plan for investors should cover:
• The problem your product or service solves.
• Your target market and the size of the opportunity.
• How the business will make money.
• Your marketing and sales plans.
• The experience of the people running the business.
• How much funding you need and how it will be used.
• Clear financial forecasts based on realistic assumptions.
• The main risks and how you plan to manage them.
-
Our investor-ready plans are usually around 40-50 pages and are researched and written specifically for your business.
• A fully branded and editable business plan.
• Executive summary and business opportunity.
• Product or service overview.
• Target market and industry research.
• Competitor review, SWOT analysis and Porter's Five Forces.
• Marketing, sales and growth plans.
• Key success factors and business risks.
• Five-year cash flow, profit and loss and balance sheet forecasts.
• A fully editable 10-15 slide pitch deck.
The documents are supplied in editable formats, so you can update them as your business develops or as you receive feedback from investors.

The information an investor focuses on can vary depending on the type of funding you are looking for.
An angel investor may be particularly interested in you, your idea and the early opportunity.
A venture capital firm is more likely to focus on the size of the market, how the business can scale and the potential for future growth.
We will shape the plan around the type of investment you are seeking and make sure it clearly explains your market, funding requirement, growth plans and how the money will be used.

Your business plan gives investors the detail behind the opportunity, while the pitch deck helps you explain the main points clearly in a meeting or presentation.
The pitch deck included with your plan will cover the business opportunity, target market, business model, growth plans, financial forecasts and the amount you are looking to raise.
It is fully editable, so you can adapt it for different investor conversations.
If you would like extra support before speaking to investors, our business development sessions can also be used to work through the figures and prepare for the questions you may be asked.
