Business plan writing for every funding route
Most plans get rejected for a dull reason. They were written for nobody in particular. We start by asking who will read yours, then write for that person.
Start Up Loan plans
The government-backed Start Up Loans scheme lends up to £25,000 per founder. It wants a plan and a cash flow forecast. We write both.
Bank loan plans
Bank managers read the numbers first. We make repayments, security and cash flow easy to check on the first few pages.
Investor-ready plans
Angels and VCs want market size, traction and a clear use of funds. We keep it short, sharp and easy to skim.
Innovator Founder visa
Endorsing bodies look for innovation, viability and scalability. Your plan has to prove all three with evidence, not adjectives.
Financial projections
Profit and loss, cash flow and balance sheet forecasts for 1 to 5 years, built in a spreadsheet you can change yourself.
Franchise and grant plans
Franchisors and grant panels each have their own checklist. We follow it line by line so nothing gets bounced back.
Why founders choose our business plan writing service
You could write the plan yourself. Plenty of people do. The trouble starts when a lender asks why your month-three cash flow goes negative, or an investor wants to know where your market figures came from.
We write for cafés, software start-ups, care agencies, import firms and plenty in between. That range matters. It teaches you which questions each reader asks, so the plan answers them before they come up.
- Real research. Market sizes, competitor checks and pricing are sourced and referenced.
- Numbers that add up. Your forecasts link together, so a change to sales updates profit and cash flow.
- Plain English. No padding, no buzzwords. A busy reader can follow it in ten minutes.
- Editable files. You get the plan in Word and PDF, plus the editable Excel model with Extensive and Visa & Investor plans.

How our business plan writing works
Our business plan writing process has four simple steps. You can talk to your writer by email or WhatsApp at any point.
Tell us the goal
Send a few lines about your business and who will read the plan. A bank? An endorsing body? An angel investor? That answer shapes everything.
We research and write
Your writer studies your market, competitors and costs, then drafts the plan and builds the forecasts in Excel.
You review it
Read the draft and tell us if anything misses your original brief. We fix that free. New requirements can be quoted separately.
Submit with confidence
You get the final plan in Word and PDF, ready to send to your lender, investor or visa panel.
How much does a business plan cost in the UK?
Quotes in the UK run from about £300 to well over £5,000. Big consultancies charge for meetings, travel and layers of sign-off. We don’t. A small, focused team and a clear process keep our business plan writing affordable, starting at £150 for a 15-page plan with a year of forecasts.
So what pushes the price up? Length, research depth and the number of forecast years. A Start Up Loan application rarely needs more than our Essential package. An investor round or a visa application usually needs Extensive, because the reader will test every assumption.
What goes into a plan we write
Every plan is built around its reader, but most include these sections:
| Section | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Executive summary | What you do, what you need and why it will work, on one page |
| Company and team | Who is behind the business and why they can deliver |
| Market analysis | How big the market is, who buys and how it is changing |
| Competitor review | Who you are up against and where you win |
| Marketing and sales plan | How customers find you and what it costs to win them |
| Operations | Premises, suppliers, staff and milestones |
| Financial forecasts | Profit and loss, cash flow, balance sheet and break-even |
| Funding request | How much you need, what it pays for and how it gets repaid |
Business plans for UK funding routes
Each lender reads a plan differently. Start Up Loans, run through the British Business Bank, cares most about affordability and your personal budget. High street banks look at security, repayment cover and trading history. Innovate UK competitions score applications against published criteria, so we map each section to the scoring guide.
Then there’s the Innovator Founder visa. Here the plan goes to an endorsing body, not a bank, and it must show the idea is new, workable and able to grow. Get it wrong and the cost is far higher than the price of the plan.
Want to try drafting your own first? The GOV.UK business plan guide is a good free place to start. Plenty of founders write a rough version, then hand it to us to rework into something a lender will take seriously.
Business plan writing across the UK and Europe
We work remotely, so a founder in Aberdeen gets the same service as one in Brighton. We also write for companies entering the UK from Europe, and for UK firms expanding into Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands or Spain. Funding bodies, tax rules and market data change from one country to the next. Your plan should reflect that.
