Plan Cruncher – Generate a One-Page Business Plan

Plan Cruncher is advertised as a service for start-ups, but it seems like a good exercise for any business to go through. The thought behind Plan Cruncher is that they you answer a few questions about your business, select appropriate icons to match your business philosophies, and then sit back and watch it generate a one-page, one-sided business plan.

The implications for this in the start-up community are obvious – shorter business plan, better chance of it getting read. But even if you aren’t seeking investor money, it is still a good idea to have a quick business plan to occasionally share. It’s also a good exercise to go through if only to refocus yourself or your team.

The first step is to identify your idea, followed by discussing your team and product. Then Plan Cruncher asks you about your revenue plans and how you are currently funded.  Finally it asks you about your partnership interests before you generate your final plan, which gets emailed in PDF format to you.

The site is built by a Venture Capital group and you have the option of sending them the plan at the end of the process. This is not required to complete the plan.
