Bankable Business Plans

This is a practical guide to developing a business plan that communicates effectively with lenders and other financial stakeholders. Traditional business plans should not replace customer discovery, but many small-business borrowers need coherent written projections, operating plans, and repayment explanations.

Founders learn to describe the business, market, management, operating requirements, risks, financing need, use of funds, and repayment capacity. Mentors can use the book to help founders prepare for lender discussions without inventing unsupported forecasts.
