The plan results in better operational decisions and
actions by everyone involved. It also provides an external presentation vehicle
for testing business ideas with an immediate “community” consisting of the
board of directors, partners, bankers, investors, and employees. It provides a
context for evaluating new ideas, and a process for organizing events.

And What They are Saying: “The One Page Business Plan is an out and out winner. Period. It makes great sense to me as a so-called ‘business thinker’. But the acid test was applying it to a start-up I co-founded. We spent several days drafting our one pager — and have been editing it ever since. It is a powerful, living document, the very nature of which has led us to important new insights. One Page Business Plan = the proverbial better mousetrap!”
