What is a Business Plan Presentation?

We know a business plan as a formal document that includes your business goals, mission, strategy and the rest of the starting-a-business shebang. 

A business plan presentation is all that with added pressure since you’ve to convey the entire information in slides – clearly and concisely. 

Hey executives! Looking to cut design costs?

• Spend less time on presentations and more time strategizing
• Ensure your brand looks and feels visually consistent across all your organization's documents
• Impress clients and stakeholders with boardroom ready presentations

Sign up. It’s free.

Put another way, you don’t have wordy documents to convey your ideas. Instead, you’ll need to be clear about selling your idea to investors by sharing all the important details in an engaging and succinct manner. 

What Should Be in a Business Presentation?

Now that you know how your slides need to look, let’s talk about another important point—your presentation’s slides and what they need to talk about. 

The bare minimum slides you need are 10. Remember, cover only one business aspect per slide.  Here’s what your slides should be about.

Slide 1: The Title Slide

This needs no explanation — it’s your introductory page that should include your business’s name, any slogan that you may have, and a logo as well (if it’s ready). Don’t forget to add your name to the slide. 

Since this is the first slide, it needs to be an impression maker. One way to create such a slide is to rely on a powerful image that showcases your business idea. 

Take, for example, this presentation template by Visme. It pretty much speaks for itself, narrating the business idea is related to social media scheduling.

Looking for the perfect image for your presentation? Grab one from a pool of 700+ free presentation images . 

Slide 2: The Problem Your Business Solves

Dedicate your second slide to diving into the pain point your business solves.  You can use facts to make things convincing. But, there’s nothing that beats a good story. 

Here is an amazing business plan presentation example that does just that.

Additionally, make sure you let your design do the talking. For instance, this presentation template uses a few words and pairs them with icons that explain facts.

Slide 3: Your Business’s Solution

Now that you’ve introduced the problem, give the solution. 

This is the part where your story comes to its happy ending. And what’s the happy ending? Your business idea.  

Again, make sure your solution-offering slide isn’t wordy, but digestible. Try a diagram or sketch to explain your idea like here.

Slide 4: Your Pricing Plan

Okay, so investors know you’ve a great idea that you’ve delivered in an even greater story format. They’re impressed. What’s next? Your pricing structure. 

In your business model slide, go on to tell who your customers are, what your revenue sources are going to be, and how much you expect customers to pay for your product/service?

But, instead of writing it all, present your pricing plans in a simple-to-grasp chart. 

Here’s what I mean.

Slide 5: Business Operations Information

Now is the time you give your audience an inside peep into the operating nuts and bolts of your business. 

Where will your business headquarters be located? What about the staff that runs the show in the background. What equipment will you need? Answer all that in this slide. 

Just make sure you offer all this info in a chart or diagram.

Slide 6: Your Marketing Plan

Next, tell your audience how you plan to market your business. 

Nope, "TV and ads" is not the right answer. Instead, share your marketing plan including the channels you’ll use and how you plan to do so. 

Planning to make a separate marketing presentation? Dig into this guide to create one with free templates.

Slide 7: Industry Overview

In other words, this slide is for competitor analysis. Make sure you keep it clipped and use a positive approach. 

Defaming or bad-mouthing competitors won’t help. What’ll make a difference in your favor though is how well you explain your unique selling proposition (USP) or what makes your business a winner. 

Share this information in a chart or outline the key pointers like this template below does.

Slide 8: Financial Projections

Time to pull out the crystal ball that shows the future!

Answer the following in this slide: what financial projections do you’ve for the next 3 years and 5 years to come. Then, explain how you reached those numbers. 

Here’s a template that does that well:

Slide 9: Your Team

Here’s the part when you talk about the key players who’ll help you build your business. 

See how this template intros teammates.

Slide 10: Concluding Slide

This is your last slide. It’s best to close your presentation with your contact details (check out the slide below for an idea) and a sense of urgency.

But why the urgency, you ask? Because you want to tell your audience that now is the right time for your business to enter the market. 

1. Identify Your Goals

Before diving into your presentation, take a step back and clarify your purpose.

Are you seeking investment, looking for partners or pitching to potential clients. Knowing your aim helps shape your entire approach.

Then, set clear goals for your presentation. Maybe you want to secure a certain amount of funding or land a specific partnership. Having these objectives in mind keeps you focused and helps you measure success later on.

2. Research and Gather Information

Now it's time to roll up your sleeves and dig into the nitty-gritty.

Start with thorough market research—understand your industry inside out and know your competitors like the back of your hand.

Also, get a solid grasp on your target audience. Research their backgrounds, interests and what they're looking for. This insight is gold when tailoring your content.

Don't just skim the surface; dive deep. Collect hard data, compelling statistics and solid financial information that backs up your claims.

As you gather all this information, keep it organized. Use spreadsheets, mind maps or whatever system works for you. The point is to have this valuable intel at your fingertips when you need it.

For example, you can use Visme’s whiteboard tool for this purpose. Or design an engaging mind map that you can easily share with your team.

3. Outline Your Presentation Structure

Think of your presentation as a story—it needs a beginning, middle and end. And all of these parts need to flow seamlessly.

Start by mapping out the key points and sections you want to cover. Then, arrange them in a logical order that builds momentum. Make sure each section naturally leads into the next, creating a compelling narrative.

As you plan, consider how much time and emphasis each part deserves. Your game-changing product might warrant more time than your office location, for instance. A well-structured presentation keeps your audience engaged and helps them follow your vision effortlessly.

Want to learn more? Here’s a detailed guide on the different types of presentation structures you might want to use for your business plan presentation.

4. Develop Your Content

Here's where you breathe life into your presentation.

Craft content that's not just informative, but captivating. Think about what makes your business unique and exciting— that's the story you want to tell.

Develop a clear, punchy value proposition that instantly communicates your worth. As you write, keep your audience in mind. What matters to them? Align your content with their interests and needs. If you need help with crafting the perfect words, use Visme’s AI Writer for assistance.

For each slide, aim for concise, impactful statements. Back up your claims with solid data and facts—investors love numbers. And while it's good to show you know your stuff with industry jargon, remember to explain complex terms. You want to impress, not confuse.

5. Design Your Slides

Now it's time to make your presentation visually appealing. If you’re using a template, choose a design theme that's professional and aligns with your business idea.

Ideally, your presentation design should be clean, modern and easy on the eyes. Use high-quality visuals, charts and graphics to illustrate your points. We’ll discuss more about how to design a business plan presentation in the next section.

Be careful not to go overboard. Keep your slides uncluttered and easy to read. A good rule of thumb is no more than six bullet points per slide. Use them to highlight key points and provide visual interest, not to display every word you're going to say.

6. Prepare Supporting Materials

Your presentation is just one part of the package. Create handouts or leave-behind documents that reinforce your key points and provide additional details. These could include executive summaries, product specifications or financial projections.

Also, develop a one-page business plan or a more detailed one for those who want to dive deeper. These materials show you're thorough and prepared, and they give interested parties something concrete to review after your presentation.

Visme offers a bunch of business plan templates to help you in that area. Here’s a business plan template you can use right away:

The best part about using Visme is you can ensure your document design is consistent with your presentation. Simply upload your brand elements like fonts, colors and logo, and our Brand Kit will apply your unique style across any project you create.

In fact, you don’t even have to manually upload anything if you’re short on time and have a website. Input your site URL into our Brand Design Tool and let the AI pull the brand elements automatically and apply them to your designs.

7. Finalize and Polish

You're almost done! But before you call it a day, revisit and fine-tune your presentation so it’s free from any potential issues. Proofread everything meticulously and check for spelling errors, consistency in formatting and accuracy in your data and projections.

Make sure all your information is up-to-date and relevant. Also, pay attention to any animations and transitions between your slides—they should be smooth and logical.

This is also a great time to get some outside perspective. Present to trusted advisors, mentors or colleagues who can give you honest, constructive feedback. They might catch things you've missed or have ideas to make your presentation even stronger.

If you’re creating your business plan presentation in Visme, you can invite team members to review your slides, leave feedback by commenting or annotating and even work on the content with you using our collaboration and workflow features.

How to Design a Business Plan Presentation with Visme

So far, you’ve learned a lot of theory on making a business plan presentation. It’s time to put all that and more into practice. 

Start off with writing your content. And, go on to design your slides next. 

With Visme, you’ve two ways to go about creating your presentation: either start with a template or work from the scratch. 

Have you already started making your presentation in PowerPoint, but only just discovered Visme?  No worries! Nobody’s going to ask you to start over.

Instead, simply follow the steps in here to import your PowerPoint presentation in Visme .  Or, watch this video to understand how do so.

Now, let’s start designing.

1. Pick a Template

Visme offers templates in various categories, so you’ll be sure to find a template that fits your business idea. 

For instance, here’s a business presentation template.

Here’s something for those of you with an idea in the finance sector.

Plus, a template for a product idea.

Each of the available templates are editable, which means if there’s something you want to change about it, you can easily do so.

Looking for something that takes creativity to a whole new level? Pick from one of our animated presentation templates. And if you’re short on time, you can use Visme’s AI Presentation Maker to whip up a custom design tailored to your business idea and vision.

2. Adjust the Slides

Once you’ve picked your template, click  Add New Slide to bring other slides from the template into your presentation. Pick and choose any and all of the slides you need to use in your business plan presentation.

You can also bring in slides that you've previously saved to your slide library to help customize your presentation even further.

3. Customize the Template

Lastly, customize your template’s font and color. 

If you already haven’t settled on your brand colors, dive into color psychology to pick colors for your presentation that inspire trust.

If you plan to power your first slide with images, you can either select images from Visme’s stock photo library or upload your own image. You can also add icons , shapes, animated graphics, illustrations, 3D characters , gestures and more to spruce up your slides.

And if you can’t find the perfect image, whip one up using the AI Image Generator or edit existing images using the AI Image Editing tool . It can unblur, upscale and remove unwanted backgrounds in seconds.

Pro Tip : Take advantage of Dynamic Fields to always keep important data like names, dates and contact information accurate. Once you've customized the fields and assigned values , your data will be pulled in throughout your project.

Alternatively, you can create your presentation from the ground up using a blank canvas or by starting with a presentation theme .

4. Download and Share

Finally, it’s time to share your business plan presentation.

You have several options to do that in Visme. Here they are:

• Download: Save your presentation in PDF or PPTX (PowerPoint) format. You can also download in HTML5 (offline web) format to preserve animation and interactivity,
• Share online: Publish and share your presentation online using a public or private link. No need to download any files—your presentation will be hosted on Visme.
• Embed: Generate an embed code for your presentation to add it to a website or portal.

Also, fun fact: when you share your presentation online with Visme, you can track built-in analytics to understand how people are interacting with your slide deck.

With the recap out of the way, let’s talk about the fundamentals of preparing a business presentation that you need to keep front and center as you plan.

1. Draw attention to your core message.

This is the heart of any successful presentation — one that makes it a winner. To ensure your message comes off coherently, explain your business idea to yourself.

The stronger your grip on your idea, the better you’d be able to explain it in a few sentences, or paragraphs at most. 

In other words, make sure you can summarize your plans into an elevator pitch. Also, don’t forget, use simple language — can a child understand your business idea? If so, you’re in the right direction. 

2. Make your slides easy to read and understand.

If a clear message is the heart of a prizewinning (read: investor winning) presentation, good readability and ease in understanding are the lungs, working to keep your presentation alive and breathing. 

The question now is, how do you go about creating digestible slides? Here are a couple of things that can help.

3. Stick to one or two fonts.

Garamond, Helvetica and Gill Sans are some of the best fonts to use in a presentation .

And while you’re at it, select a readable font size. 30 points is a good benchmark size to keep in mind like we discussed above. 

Take a look at how well the font size is adjusted in this template. The changing font size also creates a visual flow that navigates viewers’ attention.

4. Pick a nice color scheme.

Know those bright colors that hurt the eye and are hard to look at? Steer away from them. A subtle color combination works best like in the Visme presentation template below.

5. Use minimal text.

To do so, read each word carefully and ask yourself: can I do just fine without this word? If you find yourself replying in the affirmative to this question, remove the word. In short, make each word earn its keep.

Here’s a template using only as many words as needed to get the message across.

6. Pay attention to the visual elements in each slide.

The goal is simple: you’ve got to use design elements smartly without overdoing them. Sure, you’ve heard a picture is worth a thousand words, but nailing visual components in your presentation can take some effort. 

Put another way, it isn’t about throwing in a bunch of thumbnail images and icons to each slide and calling it a day. Instead, it’s about adding them thoughtfully so they’re impactful rather than extra baggage. 

Check out this template from Visme to get an idea of what we’re talking about here.

On the whole, aim to create a business plan presentation that’s readable, comprehensible and clutter-free. 

Before we wrap this up, here are some tips to help you deliver more memorable presentations:

Keep Your Presentation Concise

Short, powerful messages leave a far deeper impression than long, rambling presentations.

Follow the 9-minute rule —originally for salespeople but equally valuable for presenters—to deliver more impactful presentations.

Aim to deliver 2-3 slides per minute, keeping your key points within about 9 minutes. This helps maintain your audience’s attention and ensures your core message is communicated without overwhelming the listeners with excessive information.

Add Interactivity to Your Presentation

Breathe life into your business presentations and stand out by incorporating interactive elements, such as animated icons, popups, clickable buttons, embedded videos and more.

Interested in creating an interactive business presentation? Here are 20 tips to get you started.

You can also take a look at how to create an interactive quiz within your presentation below.

Create engaging interactive content with Visme.

• Add interactive pop-ups and hover effects
• Increase interest and engagement on your design
• Lead your audience to specific content with interactivity

Pay Attention to Your Presentation’s Design

Not only is visual design an important component of any presentation , but it’s also what hooks your audience. It takes about 50 milliseconds for your audience to assess a design’s visual appeal so aim to leave a strong visual impression. 

Use a powerful image as this template does.

Or try a color-based design with a modern layout like the one in this business presentation template:

Incorporate Data Visualization

Wherever possible, use any of the various chart types at your disposal to present your data. These could be line or bar graphs, pie charts, Gantt charts, Venn diagrams, pictograms, population pyramids and much more.

But why should you use charts to share your data? Simple: data visualization makes complex numbers easy to understand at a glance and more interesting to look at.

Check out this funnel chart template by Visme that you can add to your business plan presentation:

Or this cool gauge chart to track the achievements of your sales staff:

With a few clicks of a button, add creative infographics to your Visme presentations and take them to a whole new level.

Q. How Many Slides Does Your Business Presentation Need?

Aim for 10-12 slides in your business presentation. This aligns with Guy Kawasaki's 10-20-30 rule: 10 slides max, presented in 20 minutes, using at least 30-point font. This approach helps you stay focused and keep your audience hooked to your presentation till the end.

Made with Visme Infographic Maker

  If absolutely necessary, you can stretch to 13 slides, but try not to go beyond this to prevent overwhelming your audience. Remember, a concise presentation often has more impact than a lengthy one.

Create a Business Plan Presentation That Wins Investors

Creating a business plan presentation really isn’t much of a tough nut to crack. Consider half your work done if you’re cent percent clear about your business idea. This way your presentation’s content will come easy to you.

As for the design? Leave that to Visme. Our online presentation software makes it easy to create a beautiful and professional business plan presentation that leaves a solid impression on your audience.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Creating a Business Plan Presentation

Faqs about business plan presentations, want to extend the guide to creating a business plan presentation.

Let’s start by clarifying the business plan definition.

A business plan is a document that describes your business in terms of what it does, the products and services it offers, your business strategy and business goals, and your action plan outlining how you plan to achieve your goals and earn money.

The main purposes of a business plan are to

• Show the future financial performance of the company and its economic situation for the owners and investors.
• Help identify risks that may affect the growth of the company and provide strategies to overcome them.
• Help make predictions about market trends, competitor behavior, customer requirements and define and prioritize key business objectives .
• Serve as a key resource for developing budgets

Clarity and Communication

A business plan presentation helps you communicate your business idea, goals, and strategies with clarity. It allows you to distill complex information into concise and visually appealing slides, making it easier for your audience to understand and grasp the key points. Presenting your business plan in a structured and organized manner enhances clarity and ensures that your message is effectively communicated.

Engaging and Persuasive

A well-designed and well-delivered business plan presentation can be highly engaging and persuasive. By using visual aids, such as graphs, charts, and images, you can capture the attention of your audience and create a memorable impact. Effective storytelling and compelling visuals can help you convey the value proposition of your business, showcase market opportunities, and convince investors, stakeholders, or potential partners to support your venture.

Feedback and Interaction

Presenting your business plan allows you to receive immediate feedback and engage in discussions with your audience. This feedback can be invaluable in refining your business strategy , identifying potential gaps or weaknesses, and addressing questions or concerns. The interactive nature of a presentation enables you to have a dialogue, gather insights, and build relationships with key stakeholders. It also provides an opportunity to demonstrate your expertise, passion, and confidence, which can further strengthen your credibility and increase the likelihood of securing support or funding for your business.

The Key Elements of a Business Plan

A business plan should contain the following key components.

• Executive summary
• Company profile
• Market analysis
• Marketing and sales strategies
• Organizational structure and management
• Services and products

Although this comes first, it’s smarter to write it at the end. The executive summary of your business plan should explain what is great about your business model and its products or services.

It should be concise and appealing to the reader. And it’s easier to write a meaningful summary once you have filled in the rest of your plan.

Your company profile should provide details on,

• Company history
• Overview of the company
• Mission Statement
• Key resources
• Business contact information
• Products or services
• Location details
• The market you serve
• Your key customers
• The customer issue you seek to solve

All these details can be presented in a much nicer way with an infographic like the one below. It’s easier to read and understand and more compact and clearer than paragraphs of detail.

Market Analysis

Through a market analysis , you can find enough detail to define your target market, its size, customer segments, and their needs.

Your market analysis should also include a competitor analysis, where you will research your key competitors in terms of their influence in the market, their strengths and weaknesses, the threats they pose to you, their products and services, their pricing plans, their marketing strategies etc.

SWOT analysis is a great way to determine the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors and the opportunities and threats they bring to you within the industry. You can also use it to assess the capabilities of your own company.

For a business plan presentation, you can use a digital database of your financial information with a simple Creately mind map. You can link up all your financial statements on your mind map.

This way anyone who refers to the mind map can easily access the linked resources from one single place.

Overloading with Information

One of the most common mistakes is including too much information on each slide. This overwhelms the audience and makes it difficult for them to follow along. Keep your slides concise and focused on key points. Use bullet points or visuals to convey information effectively.

Lack of Visual Appeal

A presentation that lacks visual appeal can fail to engage the audience. Avoid using too much text and opt for visually appealing elements such as images, graphs, and charts. Use a consistent color scheme and fonts that are easy to read. Make sure your visuals support your message rather than distract from it.

Ignoring the Audience’s Needs

It’s essential to consider the needs and interests of your audience when creating a presentation. Tailor your content to address their concerns and provide relevant information. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that your audience may not understand. Focus on presenting the most compelling aspects of your business plan that align with their interests.

Lack of Practice and Rehearsal

Presenting a business plan without sufficient practice and rehearsal can lead to a lack of confidence and a disjointed delivery. Practice your presentation multiple times to become familiar with the content, timing, and transitions. Rehearse in front of a mirror or a small audience to receive feedback and improve your delivery.

By avoiding these common mistakes, you can create a compelling and effective presentation that effectively communicates your business plan to your audience.

What to include in a business plan presentation?

A business plan presentation is your chance to delve deep, showcasing not just the what and the how, but also the why of your business. It's your strategic playbook that can persuade investors, guide your team, and set the foundation for your business's success.

11 essential slides of a business plan presentation:

Opening slide: Set the tone with an engaging first impression.

Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Define what sets your business apart.

Business overview: Offer a concise snapshot of your company.

The challenge you're addressing: Describe the problem your business solves.

Market analysis: Demonstrate your understanding of the industry and market trends.

Your solution: Detail how your product or service addresses the problem you’ve identified.

Marketing and sales strategy: Outline your approach to winning and keeping customers.

Goals and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Specify your objectives and how you’ll measure success.

Team composition: Introduce key team members, their roles, and expertise.

Funding request and allocation: Explain your financial requirements and how the funds will be utilized.

Next steps: Guide the reader on the next steps after reviewing your plan, whether it's a meeting request, further discussion, or a specific action you want them to take.

What does a business plan presentation look like?

In today's fast-paced business world, static business plan presentations are losing their edge. Imagine having to constantly pinch and zoom on a mobile device just to see the details. It's frustrating and distracting.

People also get disengaged when faced with walls of text. They're there to hear a story, not read a novel.

Interactive presentations, on the other hand, bring your business plan to life. They encourage audience participation, adapt to the flow of discussion, and make complex ideas more digestible and memorable.

You can see what an interactive business plan presentation looks like below:

How to turn a business plan into a presentation

Transforming your business plan into a presentation is a crucial step in bringing your vision to life. It's not just about having a plan; it's about presenting it in a way that resonates with investors and partners.

Start by distilling the essence of your plan, focusing on key points like your mission, market analysis, and financial projections. Use engaging visuals and a clear narrative to make complex information accessible.

How to make a business plan presentation in 6 easy steps

Crafting a business plan is about blending vision and strategy into a narrative that captivates your audience. With Storydoc's AI business presentation maker, creating this narrative becomes intuitive and easy.

In the guide below, we'll show you how to turn your plan into an engaging presentation in 6 simple steps. Stick around to see how seamlessly Storydoc can bring your business story to life.

1) Describe your presentation’s objective

Kick things off by sharing with our AI the type of business plan you're looking to create. This is like setting the GPS for your journey, ensuring every part of your plan is aligned with your end goal.

2) Give an overview of yourself, your organization, and your offering

Introduce the essence of your business - who you are, what your company stands for, and the unique value of what you offer. This sets the stage for a personalized and relevant presentation.

3) Select a suitable design template

Dive into our collection of design templates and pick one that resonates with your business's personality.

4) Tailor your business plan presentation to your needs

Now, here’s where you add your personal touch. Fill in your details, tweak the design, and watch the magic happen as the template adapts to your content. This is where your business plan presentation starts to take on a life of its own.

Then, you can either upload your own multimedia elements or sit back as our AI assistant generates some for you.

5) Add personalized elements

Next up, sprinkle in some personalization. It works just like personalizing a newsletter - you can insert dynamic variables that automatically fill up with your recipient's data.

This level of customization not only makes your presentation feel tailor-made for each reader but also adds a layer of engagement. As a matter of fact, it can get 68% more people to read your deck in full , and share it internally 2.3x more often!

6) Review and refine your business plan presentation

Finally, take a step back and review your plan. Ensure it looks good, flows well, and clearly conveys your message.

The beauty of Storydoc is that it's a living document – if you spot a mistake or need to update information after sharing, you can. You're in control, ensuring your audience always sees the most polished and up-to-date version of your business plan presentation.

Business plan design principles to turn average into impressive

Designing a business plan presentation is about more than just putting words on a page; it's about creating an experience that captures and holds attention. In today's digital age, the way you present your plan can be just as important as the content itself.

Let's explore how to design a business plan presentation that stands out in the modern business landscape.

1) Move from static to interactive

Gone are the days of static, text-heavy business plan presentations. Today's plans are interactive, engaging readers with clickable elements, dynamic charts, and even embedded videos.

This interactivity not only makes your plan more interesting but also allows readers to engage with the content in a more meaningful way.

Here's a great example of an interactive business plan presentation:

2) Use scroll-based design

Forget the hassle of pinching and zooming on a PDF. A scroll-based design, similar to a modern website, offers a fluid reading experience.

It's straightforward and aligns with how we naturally consume content online, making your business plan presentation easier and more enjoyable to read.

Here's an example of scroll-based design:

3) Make sure your business plan presentation is mobile-friendly

With so many people reading on their phones, your business plan presenttion needs to look good on any device.

Responsive design means your plan is easily readable on a phone, tablet, or computer, ensuring that your message is clear no matter how your audience accesses it.

4) Shift from local files to online documents

Step away from traditional Word docs or PDFs and embrace online documents. They're great for sharing, updating in real time, and collaborating with others.

Plus, they're accessible from anywhere, which is perfect for busy investors who are always on the move.

For more information, check out our comparison of the best business plan document types .

5) Embrace visual storytelling

Use visuals like infographics and charts to tell your business's story. They can turn complex data into easy-to-understand, engaging information. A well-placed visual can often do a better job of explaining your points than text alone.

Here's a great example of visual storytelling:

From Idea to Investment: How to Make a Business Plan Presentation

Renderforest Staff

26 Sep 2023

13 min read  

Companies that have solid business plans are 129% more likely to grow beyond the startup phase and develop into successful enterprises. 

Moreover, a business plan is the driving force that makes those with business ideas 260% more likely to actually take steps toward launching their ventures .

Why’s that?

We can call it a power of knowing what you’re doing . A good business overview presentation dispels ambiguity and defines a clear path towards success. 

A thorough introduction business plan is a well-oiled and highly organized machine behind the scenes that makes companies thrive and move forward regardless of the competition, changes in the economy, or other forces.

So, if you’re an aspiring individual looking to conquer the business world with your new idea and make investors believe in it, you need a business plan presentation.

This practical how-to guide will help you with that and provide you with top-notch business presentation examples to use as a ready-to-go template .

Business Plan Presentation: Goals and Applications Explained

A business idea presentation is a written, formal, and detailed document that outlines a company’s goals and objectives, strategies, financial projections, and operational plans for achieving success and sustainability.

• The key reason why you need a business plan slide deck is to attract external investors and raise capital for your project . With most early-stage companies striving with the shortage of financial resources, this task is critical for your startup’s survival and success. 
• The secondary objective of the business plan presentation is keeping your internal team focused, motivated, and on track . The plan ensures everyone involved in the project has an understanding of where they’re heading and what the company’s goals are.

Focusing more on the first goal, you should clearly understand that potential investors will first evaluate your business plan’s real chances of generating a return on their investment. So, your first task is to have a presentation plan that shows how you’re going to achieve profit. First things first, you’ll want to have a catchy brand name, and for that, you can use the AI business name generator .

Among other factors that can motivate investors to approve your project , some are critical. 

• You need to be detailed and clear . Investors tend to engage in projects in the industry that are well-familiar to them or explained to them in great detail. They also need to see a logical flow of action items you plan to implement to reach the desired goal.
• Your team should be reliable and professional . Investors put resources into teams they believe in. So ensure your team, their expertise, and clear priorities are represented and explained properly in the business overview slide. 
• Market validation evidence is needed . Investors need to see that the product you try to create is in demand. Given the current market trends and customer behavior, people need to have tangible proof that you are able to feed their needs with your product or service.
• A clear cost breakdown is a must . Your potential investors need to understand what costs are necessary and how much is allocated for each part of the project. Pay close attention to this part, and be realistic with the expenses and estimations. 

Well, you guessed it. Regardless of which business plan presentation template you choose, your presentation should translate your ideas into convincing facts, plans, and actions for the investors to see. 

Consider This While Creating a Business Plan Presentation

You can have a sea of business presentation ideas, but a typical audience’s attention span is 7 minutes . Well, 10 minutes at most if you have a super-engaging presentation or talk like Steve Jobs used to reveal Apple’s new products. 

Based on the short time frame you have, Guy Kawasaki introduced a 10/20/30 rule – a must-follow answer to your “how to make a business plan presentation” question. 

• Have up to 1 0 business plan slides .
• Structure your business model presentation to fit a 20-minute timeframe at most.
• Choose a font size no smaller than 30 . It is better to focus on easy-to-read and professional-looking fonts like Helvetica or Garamond.

Choose a Business Project Plan Presentation Template from Renderforest!

Eliminate the need to spend time creating a business plan presentation from scratch. With Renderforest’s online template library, you can choose any ready-to-go business plan slides template that’s designed with all the key features, creative elements, and professional approach. 

Choose anything from creative, modern, and sleek presentations to minimal or flat designs. Customize in a few clicks to have a personalized, unique presentation. 

Here are the key principles you should keep with your business plan presentation.

Have Clear Objectives

There are different company presentation examples based on the specific objective you chase with your business overview. You may ( and ideally should ) have one core business plan presentation, including all the key sections and details and a few different versions of it based on the key audiences and places you’re going to present it.

Let’s make it clear. 

Say you have a meeting with investors on Monday, another one with your marketing team on Tuesday, and you’re also invited as a speaker to the business event on Saturday. Each of these events has different audiences you need to captivate. And even though the primary idea you want to get across doesn’t change, you need to adapt your visual business plan for each audience. 

• For investors , you should have a thorough business plan presentation outline with a strong emphasis on the financials part. 
• For your marketing team , focus more on the strategic part and ideas for brand recognition you plan to implement. Here, more concentration is needed on motivating the team and having a clear breakdown of responsibilities.
• Finally, for a business event , it’s better to remove some sensitive business plan slides like finance, risks, etc., and replace them with more general and inspiring slides about your company’s vision and story. 

It may take you a few minutes to create a slightly modified version of your presentation, but the audience you’re addressing will appreciate it. 

Try to appear with an adjusted presentation for each audience and place. 

Keep It Clear and Concise

We should probably apologize for overusing the words “clear and concise,” but that’s what really working business slideshow examples are about. 

So, we can’t stress this enough: be as brief as possible. Remember, an overloaded business plan presentation is your no-go area!

• Choose 1, max two font styles, and ensure they go well together.
• Pick colors that form a good contrast together, avoiding too many bright shadows.
• Ensure your business plan slideshow has a healthy portion of negative space.
• Have as much text per page as can be read and digested by the audience without rushing.
• Keep a healthy balance between visuals and text.

The template below is a brilliant business presentation example, considering all the above tips. 

Maintain Visual Consistency

A cohesive, professional, and unified structure across all slides is essential . This means every slide in your business plan presentation should follow the same layout and design principles.

Colors, fonts, graphics, background, and buttons – all should follow the same rules . This will create a holistic, consistent experience for your audience while conveying your message clearly. 

In some cases, certain slides can have different colors than others, but they should all have the same general look. When you look at your business plan presentation, there should be a feeling of congruence across all slides. 

Otherwise, you risk leaving an unorganized, messy impression. 

Template Packs Are Your Best Friends for Creating Visual Consistency

What are business plan slide template packs from Renderforest, and why are they the best solution for a consistent look?

Packs are a collection of different slides – intro, overview, summary, budget, team, mission & vision, etc. that are all designed to work together . No matter which ~10 sample business plan presentations you will choose from them, the final result will be a unified look.

The Title Slide

Hello, it’s me!

The title slide is the very first impression your audience will get from your business plan presentation. That’s why it should be catchy, intriguing, and not too overloaded with information.

Keep in mind – the title slide of your business plan doesn’t have to include all the text; a few headlines or statements can be enough to captivate the audience.

The best business plan presentation tips say the title slide should include all or some of the following.

• Company/product name
• Presenter’s name
• Short motto or statement
• Catchy photo

Executive Summary

Consolidate all the high-level insights of your presentation here – this is the part to grab the audience’s attention and get them interested in the details.

The goal of an executive summary is to raise interest without revealing too much or giving away all your secrets. 

You should be concise and clear here, focus on the top priorities that make you stand out from the competition, and share insights about what has been achieved and what business goals are ahead.

You can also share a few success stories from your industry or your own company, show how your current strategies have worked well in the past, and use them as an example to move forward. 

Statistics, facts, numbers – these are all great attention grabbers. 

Business Problem and Your Solution

The most successful businesses effectively solve the existing problems which don’t have successful solutions yet. So it’s no surprise a problem & solution is your business plan pitch presentation’s fundamental block.

Describe the issue you’re solving, explain why it’s a major problem ( backed up by relevant statistics ), and show how your product or service can overcome the difficulty.

Include visuals – images, infographics, graphs, and diagrams to emphasize on the issue. You can also highlight customer reviews or success stories to further illustrate the issue. 

Depending on how convincing you are at this stage, you can make or break the whole pitch. 

Your Value Propositions

So, what’s all the buzz about you? It’s time to showcase the unique features of your business and what makes it stand out from the competition. 

Value propositions are the distinguishing features of your product/service that should differentiate you from others in the market.

You can discuss such elements as quality, price, usability, support services, customization opportunities, and other factors of your provided solution that make you better than anyone else and what should drive people to choose you. 

Value propositions can be presented in the form of competitive advantages, service catalogs, benefits, or a simple list of features. 

The golden rule here is to avoid generic phrases and be as specific as possible. 

Market Analysis, a.k.a. Industry Overview

Investors will trust you if you prove you know the field you’re in. Knowing what you and your team are ready to do and knowing what the industry demands or how it works – are two different things. 

So, however deep is your approach to presenting your company’s value propositions, be twice as deep and detailed when it comes to market analysis or industry overview part. 

Explain the size of the market, its development over time, and the competitive landscape. Provide a full list of competitors, their strengths & weaknesses you should consider.

A good practice is to add trends & drivers in your industry – different components that shape the current state of affairs and will impact your future decision-making.

We highly recommend you proceed with your own research here, as publicly available stats ( though very useful ) don’t completely reveal your initiative and dedication to the project.

Even a small survey with your target audience or a focus group can be a great asset for your business ideas presentation. 

Go-to-Market Strategy

Reaching the paramount section – market strategy. When presenting a business plan to investors, that’s your chance to explain what business tactics you’ve chosen and why they are likely to work well.

For this part, you should outline the strategies, tactics, and approaches that will be used to acquire customers. Mention channels you’ll use for customer acquisition (SEO, PPC, social media campaigns, etc.) and their advantages and disadvantages in different markets. 

Talk about pricing models – how will you charge users for different plans/packages, and how are they tailored to attract customers from different market segments? 

Timeline format is one of the best practices when it comes to business plans for presentations . Picture your planned activities in chronological order, with estimated timelines to accomplish tasks. You can also include milestones in the timeline – significant events that will determine the success and development of your business.

Financial Projections

You also need a detailed accounting business plan presentation, where you show a thorough picture of how your company will be making money. 

To make it work, you need to provide a realistic estimate about the amount of money that could be brought in from different areas: sales, investments, grants, etc., and then calculate expenses – salaries for key personnel, office rent & utilities, travel costs.

Try to think outside the box when it comes to financial projections. Include the cost of any external services required, such as virtual assistants, accounting personnel, or marketing campaigns that will be necessary. 

Financial projections are the part where most startups fail because while many know how to scale their business, few can predict future expenses. If you don’t have a proper financial education to carry out this step, consider consulting an experienced financial analyst or accountant. 

Risks and Mitigations

Your business decisions have potential outcomes depending both on external and internal factors. Predicting those outcomes and including them in the business plan presentation for potential investors is called risk assessment or risk analysis – a crucial element without which your business plan presentation can’t be complete. 

The risk assessment part should include an overview of the potential risks, your reserve plan to mitigate them, and the steps you will take for each risk.

Usually, businesses analyze external ( economic, political, and technological ) risks that are beyond their control and internal ( operational, legal, financial ) risks that can be managed and controlled. 

It’s also common to calculate your business’s debt-to-equity ratio as a common financial risk evaluation tool . As debt is a potential risk for your company, and equity is your main resource to cover it, this ratio helps investors measure the financial stability of your business. 

Competitive Landscape 

Where do you stand in the competitive landscape? Here, you need to provide a full list of your competitors, their strengths & weaknesses. 

Besides that, it’s important to explain how you’re different from them and what makes you unique – this is where your value propositions come into play. Show investors how your solution can solve a problem better than others through compelling evidence or experiences related to previous cases. 

The two common ways to include competitor information in your business presentation outline are SWOT analysis and competitor analysis framework . 

In the SWOT analysis, you should talk about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats your company has and how it compares to your competitors. 

The competitor analysis framework requires you to compare, evaluate, and rank each of the different business strategies they are using against yours. By doing this, you can identify potential areas and opportunities for improvement in the future. 

Team Overview

When presenting a business plan, don’t forget to honor the people who help you build your business. Investors care about who is on the team and how capable they are of performing their tasks, so it’s important to introduce them in an appropriate way. 

If you’re a small startup, list all key personnel – founders, CMOs, CFOs, etc., and talk briefly about their experience & achievements. Describe the combination of skill sets that makes your team unique and provide evidence to support it. 

If you’re a larger organization, focus on introducing key executives. Show investors how each person is important to successfully make decisions, drive business growth, or innovate in their areas of expertise. 

Also, mention if you have any experienced mentors, advisors, or board members who can help you move your business forward.

Conclusion and Call to Action

If you ask how to present a business plan that leaves a lasting impression, your conclusion and call to action are the key. Basically, you need to explain what will put everything together and leave investors with an overwhelming sense of enthusiasm. 

Summarize your main points and emphasize how all the previous parts create a powerful vision for potential success. Show them why it’s the right time to invest in your business and how they will get a return on their investment.

Finally, explain what you need from them – investments in cash or resources, board memberships, mentorship, etc., and give clear instructions on what investors should do next. 

Tips to Create an Ideal Business Plan Presentation with Renderforest

It’s time to create your new business presentation, and it’s easier than you may think with Renderforest. 

Follow the below quick steps to create the actual presentation of a business plan to your potential investors to secure funding.

Step 1. Choose a Business Plan Presentation Template

Head to our library of business plan presentations to find anything from financial and marketing to startup pitch decks, and choose the one that fits your business best. 

Each business plan presentation pack has a different number of scenes. You can check out which ones have enough slides to include all the important information and pick the best one. 

We recommend picking all your scenes from the same example business presentation pack, as each one differs in design and style, and keeping consistency can be tricky when mixing different packs.

Click on the pack you like the most, and choose “ Create .” All the scenes available in the pack will be accessible to reorder, add, or remove as many business slide examples as you need.

How to Create a Quality Business Plan Presentation

The Art of Perfect Pitch

• April 18, 2024
• 13 Min Read

Want to hook potential investors to your business idea? A compelling business plan presentation will do that for you!

Do you wish to create a business plan presentation that’s not only visually attractive but also contextually enriching and sound? Well, it takes a detailed understanding of the subject matter and little effort on your end to create a professional presentation for your investors.

Don’t fret. We are here to help you out with this blog post. It includes everything you need to know about business plan presentations and outlines an efficient way to create yours.

Ready to get started? Let’s dive right in.

What is a Business Plan Presentation?

A business plan presentation also known as a pitch deck is a concise yet detailed presentation of your business idea.

It explains your business objectives, concept, solution, target market, operations, and strategies through attractive visuals and bite-sized simplified concepts.

A great pitch deck successfully communicates your business plan and your purpose of presentation, whether it is to raise funds, demonstrate traction, or grow your network.

It is quite helpful when you want to familiarize people with your business idea without diving into extreme details.

Translating your promising business idea into a presentation is quite a challenge. However, is it worth the effort? Let’s take a look.

Benefits of having a Business Plan Presentation

Having an insightful professional pitch deck is an asset for your business. If you don’t believe it, here are a few benefits to change your mind.

1. Secure the funding

The most obvious benefit of having a pitch deck.

Investors want to know the viability and feasibility of your business idea to consider funding your business. A well-crafted pitch deck with a strategic layout will make it easier for you to prove the worthiness of your business idea.

2. Explain your business plan

No one has time to dive into your detailed business plan, at least initially. A quick presentation or an elevator pitch is what you need when you want to tell your audience about your business idea in a couple of minutes.

You can enhance your networking considerably by having a pitch deck that’s ready to be presented anytime.

3. Keep the audience engaged

It’s easy to keep the readers engaged in a presentation with its powerful visual components. After all, charts, graphs, and pictures are easier to decipher than complex blocks of text.

By adopting a storytelling approach, you can easily convey your business objectives and strategies without risking the attention of your readers.

4. Gather feedback

Presenting your business plan allows you to gather feedback from seasoned entrepreneurs and experienced investors. Such feedback helps you to identify potential gaps in your planning and refine the strategies accordingly.

Convinced now? Well, then let’s learn what a visionary business plan presentation should include.

What to include in your Business Plan Presentation?

Whether you create a presentation using an advanced tool like an AI pitch deck generator or Microsoft PowerPoint—here are 10 essential components to include in your business presentations.

1. Title slide

It is an introduction slide including basic business information such as name, logo, and tagline. Additionally, it must include the name of the presenter and contact details so that readers can reach out.

You can also consider adding an extremely crisp and short one-line summary of your business to show what your business does or aims to do. Remember, it has to be much more concise than your executive summary.

While the entire presentation needs to be visually appealing, the first slide plays an extremely crucial role in capturing and retaining the reader’s attention.

So make sure that you incorporate appropriate brand elements in a neat design and present your business in a strong light.

The most brilliant business idea is the one that solves some real-life problems. And if that’s not the case with your business, reconsider your idea.

This slide is your chance to put your storytelling skills to use. Weave a compelling narrative and talk about the problem your target market is facing. Make people relate to the problem even if they are not the ones facing such issues.

Here’s an example of how a home cleaning service provider would illustrate the problem:

3. Solution

After talking about the problems, it is now time to push forth your solution.

Introduce your products and services and explain how they will solve your target customers’ problems.

Highlight the competitive edge of your solution and illustrate how yours is a solution filling some unmet demand.

Instead of wordy long texts, translate your solution into easy-digestible text blocks and visuals.

Continuing our previous example, here is how you can add a solution to your pitch deck.

4. Market Analysis

Market analysis is quite extensive and you can take up to 2-3 slides to convey essential information.

Now, you can filter and decide what to include in your presentation. However, ensure that your market analysis includes details about the industry overview, target market analysis, and competitors analysis.

Industry Overview

In this slide, you will describe the state of the industry, its current market size, emerging trends, and the market share of your business.

Ensure that you collect data from highly authoritative sites like BLS and industry publications to increase the reliability of your research.

Present your data through visually enriching graphs and charts and prove the potential of your chosen marketplace to the readers.

Target Market Analysis

In this slide, you will tell the readers about your target market and what your potential customer looks like.

Introduce your target market and describe what your ideal customer looks like. Talk about their age, gender, income, problems, interests, and spending capacity in this slide.

The easiest way to do so is by creating a visual customer profile or a buyer’s persona of your ideal potential customer.

Here’s an example of a buyer persona for a cleaning services company:

Target Market

Age: 35 Occupation: Full-time professional Income: $90,000 annually Lifestyle: Suburban family Problems: Struggles to balance work, family, and house cleaning Goal: Minimize time on chores and maximize family time

Looking for easy-to-book and convenient high-quality cleaning services

Competitive Analysis

Readers want to know about the state of competition in your market and this slide is something they look forward to.

Include a SWOT analysis of your competitors or simply describe the competitive landscape for your business. Show your competitive advantage over the competitors in terms of pricing, product offerings, target market, and related business components.

Ensure that your slides explain all this information through flowcharts, diagrams, images, infographics, and crisp text blocks. The idea is to offer everything that your audience might need to make informed decisions.

5. Business Model and Pricing Strategy

This is one of the most important sections where you explain your business model to the audience.

Demonstrate how you would be making money with your business. This can be quite simple or complex depending on your service offerings, revenue model, and pricing strategies.

Use images and visuals to explain this section and charts to present your pricing plans.

For example, a cleaning services company can present its pricing plans as depicted in the image.

6. Traction

Any sort of evidence that supports your business idea can be used here to gain the confidence of investors.

This could be early recorded sales, a Kickstarter campaign, an MVP of your software, social proof, strategic partnership—literally anything that proves that your business is a success.

In case of an in-person presentation, you can show the practical demo of the product while presenting.

However, if you are going to send a presentation through email you have to find a way to attach proofs in the mail itself.

7. Sales And Marketing Strategies

In this slide, you will talk about your sales goals and methods to achieve those goals. Moreover, you will also talk about your strategies to market and brand your business.

Introduce different marketing streams and your marketing budget to reach your target audience. Instead of listing it all down, find a way to create self-explanatory visuals with minimum text.

Also, include details about your existing marketing strategy if any, and the results it is generating.

8. Operations Plan

Investors want to see the practical aspects of your business. They want to know if you have the skills and understanding essential for running a business.

Give them an insight into your day-to-day business operations. Explain your business processes. Demonstrate all the essential resources and equipment you need for your business.

Introduce the prospective investors to your team. Present your key personnel and management team on this slide. Describe their core competencies, key skills, and achievements through graphical representation.

Introducing your team shows the investors that you have the right people to drive the business on a successful path.

10. Financial Plan And Projections

This is again the most important section, especially, if you are presenting in front of investors.

Instead of adding your detailed financial plans here, just add important figures and highlights.

This could include details about your ROI, sales projections, revenue milestones, cash flow, and aspects that offer an overview of your business’s financial health.

Newly founded startups can show financial projections and back them with claims and proof. The idea is to excite the investors about your business by offering adequate financial information.

11. Funds Being Raised

Ensure that your pitch deck offers concrete information about the funding you need for your business.

Instead of offering one fixed amount, give a range of options and show what you can do with different amounts. Explain core areas where your funding will go. Do you require funding for marketing, diversification, staffing, expansion, or product development?

Also talk about the returns investors can expect on their investment and back those figures with calculative predictions.

With that, end your pitch deck with a call to action to drive necessary action from readers.

And those are all the sections a business plan presentation must include. Let us now explore some tips before you kickstart making your own presentation.

Tips to Create a Winning Business Plan Presentation

Translating your idea into a presentation gets much easier if you stick to these handy tips:

1. Use online resources

It’s a huge struggle trying to structurally and contextually fit your ideas into a 10-slide deck. Instead, get yourself a subscription to a pitch deck generator to create stunning pitch decks.

However, if you don’t want to spend a penny, you can use a free PowerPoint template as well.

2. Know your audience

Before you start, know the purpose of your presentation and your target audience. This will help you identify information that is actually essential for your audience, thereby making your pitch decks more nuanced and specific.

3. Focus on clear writing

Explain your complex business ideas crisply and concisely in a simple easy-to-understand language.

You can use AI tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, QuillBot, and Writesonic to translate your ideas into words. However, such tools may lack a contextual understanding of business planning.

Instead, use tools like Upmetrics that specialize in business planning and offer advanced AI assistance to write pitch decks and business plans.

4. Recheck your Fonts

Choose simple and clean fonts to design your presentation. Avoid using too many different fonts as well.

Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, and Gill Sans are among the popular fonts for presentation. They are pleasing to the eye and make content scannable.

Set the font size to at least 30 points. Fonts smaller than that will look messy on the slide.

5. Balance the Visual Elements

Adding visual elements to your PPT templates and business presentations increases the audience’s ability to grasp your business concept.

However, too many visual elements without a purpose will create clutter. Know the difference between clutter and sophistication and remember that presentation needs to reflect your business idea in the best possible light.

6. End with a CTA

Don’t leave the reader hanging midway. Guide them with a CTA telling them exactly what you want them to do.

Add contact details and a link or document to a detailed business plan. This will help investors to connect and discuss further opportunities with you.

How to Pitch to Investors?

Now that you have learned the fundamentals of creating a compelling business plan presentation, it’s time to present it to your potential investors.

Here are a few things to bear in mind while delivering your presentation.

1. Tell a Story

When you practice your presentation, ensure that there is a narrative binding everything together.

This can perhaps be the most difficult task. However, you must find a hook to keep the readers engaged.

Now, figures and brilliant ideas can overpower your narration if you don’t have a simple, humane story at the core. So take your time, practice the pitch, and find ways to engage your readers with a compelling story.

2. Practice Your Pitch

A little extension of what we said earlier.

Making a presentation and presenting a presentation are completely different things. While you already know how to make a presentation, learn how to pitch to investors to be able to attract funding for your business.

Now, you might not be a great presenter. However, a little practice can fix everything.

Know what you are going to say on each slide, make notes of it, and practice it several times till you get it right.

Practice even when you get comfortable explaining the contents of your pitch deck. This will help you polish your presentation skills.

Record yourself and look out for minor details to refine your presentation delivery. Reviewing yourself critically might be great for your presentation.

3. Get Realistic

Even after presenting a hundred pitch decks, your presentations may go off-route. You can never predict or control the exact environment of a new investor pitch. Be ready for untimely interruptions, unplanned questions, and glitches.

Understand your business idea thoroughly to get realistic and comfortable with uncertainty in the presentation. Create a checklist from an investor’s perspective and see if your presentation has every detail one needs before investing.

And there you have it. Now, let’s make you a stunning pitch deck to get your funding.

FAQs About Business Plan Presentation Templates

What is a business plan presentation template.

A Business Plan Presentation Template is a pre-made design framework meant to showcase a business plan in a well-structured, visually appealing manner. These templates provide a standard layout that aims to present the content of the business plan efficiently and compellingly, making it easier for the audience to understand and retain key information.

These templates often include slides for detailing the company overview, mission statement, market and competition analysis, marketing and sales strategy, financial projections, etc. Since they are customizable, they allow personalization to cater to specific business needs or personal preferences.

Why should a company use a Business Plan Presentation Template?

Using a Business Plan Presentation Template comes with several advantages for a company. Firstly, it saves time and effort since it eliminates the need to create a presentation from scratch. Companies can instead focus on just inputting accurate, insightful information about their business plan.

Secondly, the professional design of the template ensures a positive impression on the target audience, be it potential investors, partners, or employees. The standardized format allows for easy understanding, making the presentation more effective in conveying the message.

How can I customize a Business Plan Presentation Template?

Typically, Business Plan Presentation Templates come with editable elements. These range from texts to images, graphical elements, color schemes, and more. You can modify these as per your business needs. For instance, you can substitute placeholder texts with your company's real data, change colors to match your brand identity, or adjust graphs to represent your financial figures.

Most editing can be done directly in the software tool where the template was created (like MS PowerPoint or Google Slides). For more complex modifications or if you're unable to do it yourself, you can hire a graphic designer or use design platforms like Canva.

Where can I find Business Plan Presentation Templates?

There are many platforms on the internet where you can access Business Plan Presentation Templates, both free and paid. Online office suites like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace offer a wide variety of business-related templates, including those for business plans. Other platforms like Canva, Template.net, and SlideModel specialize in providing professionally-designed presentation templates.

Before selecting, ensure that the template is appropriate for your business type and model, and that it includes all the necessary sections required in your business plan. Also, check if the template is compatible with the software you intend to use for your presentation.

What should be included in a Business Plan Presentation Template?

A comprehensive Business Plan Presentation Template should include several key sections. These typically comprise an Introduction or Company Overview, Executive Summary, Mission and Vision Statements, Detailed Business Description, Market Analysis, Organization and Management Structure, and Description of Products or Services.

Furthermore, it should include sections for Marketing and Sales Strategy, Funding Request (if applicable), Financial Projections, and a Conclusion or Summary. However, the sections might vary depending on the needs of the business or the specific purpose of the plan.

Business plans are essential for any company. Start with a business plan to ensure your business idea is promising and feasible.

It can be much easier to understand with business plan slides and attractive visuals. Hence, it is best to include them in your business plan presentation so that the target audience will welcome and internalize them without confusion.

What is a Business Plan Presentation?

The business plan presentation PowerPoint is an animated document describing your company’s activities, the services and products offered, your company’s business goals and strategy, and the action plan you have defined. A business plan must outline how you plan to make money and achieve your goals.

The main objectives of a business plan PPT include:

• Assistance in identifying risks affecting the company’s growth and strategies to overcome those risks.
• Demonstration of the company’s financial performance and the state of the economy to investors.
• Help predict competitors and major market trends and explain key business objectives.
• An essential resource for various development budgets.

Ten tips for creating a business plan presentation:

• Add your company details: name, headline, name, and tagline to the first slide of your business plan. When introducing the slide, you can describe your actions in one sentence.
• Imagine a specific problem. Make sure it relates to your target audience. You can also add statistics to this part of a business plan to clarify how you influence others.
• Describe the solution in simple terms. Offer a solution to the problem mentioned in slide 2. Offer a unique approach.
• Explain how you want to make money. Indicate the pricing structure, customers, sources of income, and ways of making a profit.
• Add some details to your business plan. Explain how it works and make a summary. Add a visual slide to show how it all works.
• Briefly outline the strategy. Briefly explain how you can plan for your company to go to market. Provide specific details to your audience. Publish your marketing plan and budget.
• Tell about your main competitors and indicate how and how you differ from them.
• Name something about your team. Highlight each participant’s business experience.
• Provide your audience with a clear and concise financial forecast for several years. Tell about the methods by which you have reached the current numbers.
• Show where you are now. Presentation of the business plan must share what you have done, what you are looking for, and how you plan to achieve your goals. On the last slide, call your audience to action.

How to Create a Business Plan: 16 Components of a Business Plan

You can make a business plan summary at the end or do it first. However, it would be better to generate it in the episode. It is where you need to explain the benefits of your business model and present your products and services.

It should be attractive and concise for the reader. After you complete the rest of the plan, it’s easy to write a meaningful resume.

Company Profile

In your company profile, tell readers certain information:

• The customer problem you want to solve;
• History of the company;
• Business contact data;
• Services or products;
• The market you serve.

It would be better to use an infographic to show all these details in the business plan. Much easier to understand and read more clearly and concisely than tons of paragraphs of additional information in your business plan.

Market analysis

With market analysis, you can add many bright details to the business plan presentation PPT: determine customer segments, their needs, your target market, or its size and present them with graphs, pies, and charts.

Add competitor analysis to your business plan

There, you research your most important competitors. For example, you can indicate your strengths, weaknesses, and influence on the market. Learn about specific threats and explain products and services, pricing recommendations, and marketing strategies.

Client profiles

Here, you should summarize all the results for your clients, e.g, their problems, needs, and responsibilities.

Perception map

This method will assist you in presenting or analyzing your target group. You should get to know other brands and their products well. This way, you can find out the primary purpose of your competitors’ products or services. You can post research data in a business plan as you see fit.

Porter’s five forces

You can use this device to assess your position relative to competitors and a company’s competitiveness. With it, you can find out if your new service or product is profitable.

SWOT analysis

Use a SWOT analysis when you create a business plan to find out the strengths and weaknesses of competitors, as well as the threats and opportunities they pose to you in the industry. You can also use it to assess your company’s capabilities.

Pest analysis

It is short for political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological factors. It is a great way to learn how the outside forces of your market can affect your business. You can also develop a risk management plan and a marketing strategy to include in the business plan.

Competitor profile

One more critical point of the business plan presentation outline requires all data about your competitors can be collected here, such as suppliers, partners, strategies, sales figures, etc. Use this method to organize information about your competitors to include in your business plan presentation.

Competitive Intelligence/Intelligent Map

You can also transfer this information to a mind map. Add it to business plan presentations, wikis, intranets, websites, or online documents. You can view and quickly navigate all the links in the mind map.

Marketing and sales strategies

It is the part of a business plan where you describe how you will sell and promote your product. It is now easier because you understand your competitors, target customers, and the market well.

• When you have a marketing strategy described in your business plan, you can consider factors such as your resources, marketing budget, marketing goals, communication channels, etc.
• When you have a sales plan , you should pay more attention to your resources, tools, goals, etc.
• Use mind maps to ensure that all this information is visible to your target audience.
• Use two smart cards to show your marketing strategies and sales separately or one smart card to showcase both.

Organizational structure

Tell us about the key personnel who work for the company in your business plan. Mention them in this section and share your knowledge.

Use an organization chart to represent your team and their roles. It can also help you highlight the hierarchy of the organizational structure.

Products and services

This part of the business plan tells about your product or service and how customers can use it. You can use several visualizations to make this piece more appealing to your audience.

Product canvas

Use this device to display, describe or design a specific product strategy. It considers your target customer, the required product features (from models, sketches, epics/sprints, design systems, and storyboards), and the tasks you need to complete to create the entire product.

Core value proposition

Use this device when you want to clarify whether your product or service meets a specific customer need. It will help you learn the following:

• What customer problems are you trying to solve?
• What profit can you provide to your customers through your services or products?
• What customer needs do you want to satisfy?
• What is your product’s job to help a buyer complete it?
• What different products do you offer to each customer segment?

Financial plan

Provide all financial data related to your company. This part is essential when presenting a business plan to investors. It includes historical information such as profit and loss statements, profit and loss statements, cash flow statements, etc., as well as financial projections based on the impact of the new product.

Whenever you offer investors a new service or product, you can also add your own funding requirements. You can use your financial database with a handy mind map to make a great business plan presentation. Anyone accessing a mind map can easily access your linked resources from your business plan when you do.

10 Tips for Creating a Winning Business Plan in PowerPoint If you're presenting your business plan in PowerPoint format, read this first.

By Teresa Ciulla Feb 10, 2015

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

In their book Write Your Business Plan , the staff of Entrepreneur Media offer an in-depth understanding of what's essential to any business plan, what's appropriate for your venture, and what it takes to ensure success. In this edited excerpt, the authors offer some quick-hitting tips that can help you create an effective PowerPoint presentation for your business plan.

Creating a PowerPoint presentation, or deck, for your business plan is a quick, to-the-point means of revealing your best selling points to those reviewing it, while still sending over your more detailed plan.

The question is, how do you organize and minimize the breadth of a business plan into a short PowerPoint presentation? First, it's recommended that you use the 10–20–30 rule: 10 slides, 20 minutes and a minimum 30-point font.

Follow these additional tips to create a winning deck:

1. Your first slide is your title slide, which provides the name of the business, your name, title and contact information, plus a slogan if you have one. During the presentation, you can read the slide and add in a sentence that describes what it is you do.

2. The next slide should introduce a problem that persists and is relatable to your target market. Statistics can help you support your comments, but cite only a couple at best. You want the audience to relate to the problem or at least understand how it affects others.

3. The third slide should get to your solution. Briefly describe in simple terms how your business has figured out how to alleviate the problem you mentioned in slide 2. Make sure the audience understands that you have a unique approach. You might also add a few words to support your overall value proposition.

4. Next, you want to explain how you'll make money. What are your revenue sources? Who are your customers? What is your pricing structure? Then talk briefly about how you expect to profit.

5. Now present a little more detail on your operating plan. How does it all work? Self -service? Kiosks? Personal service? From buying the goods to marketing them to sales and shipping, give your audience a short summary of how it all works. Include a little technology—remember, "a little!" This is where you may need a second, visual slide to show how it all works.

6. Now it's time to present your marketing plan in a few short words. After all, if you're going to create dynamic advertising and promotional campaigns, what better way to start than briefly explaining how you plan to market the business? Give some specifics, rather than saying "on the Internet" or "on TV." Let your audience know you have a plan for marketing and can keep it within a reasonable budget.

7. Mention your key competitors—but be nice. Then explain what gives you the competitive edge.

8. Talk about your team. Remember, people invest in other people. This is where you introduce your team, with a few very brief highlights (one line) of each member's background that relates to the business at hand.

9. This next slide should show a clear financial projection with a three-to-five-year forecast. Explain the method you used to arrive at your numbers.

10. Finally, show them where you are at present. What have you done thus far, and how are you looking to move forward sooner rather than later? Present a positive call to action based on what you've accomplished to date and what you'll accomplish in the future.

There are many ways to go about putting together your deck. And yes, if you need to go to 12 slides, do so, but try not to go longer.

A few additional tips:

• Don't use jargon. Not everyone is deeply embedded in your industry.
• Don't post slides, then read them word for word. Your audience can read. Show something that's easy for them to digest, and use your comments to provide a little deeper explanation. This way, you present more information, some printed and some verbally.
• Take a breath between slides so you don't start motoring along.
• Don't focus on technology, technology and more technology even if you're a technology company.
• Don't overload slides with too much material—people can only read and digest so much.
• Remember, less is more. Don't try to pack too much into a PowerPoint presentation—your listeners can always read the full plan for more details.

It also contains an analysis of the current status of the business and outlines the potential risks and rewards associated with pursuing its goals.

However, it can also be used as a tool for fundraising or for acquiring loans and investment capital . In order to be effective, a business plan must be well-written, clear, concise, and persuasive. It should also be based on thorough research and analysis. When properly executed, a business plan can be an invaluable asset to any business.

There are many different types of business plans, but all share certain common elements.

Other essential components include the company description, market analysis, competitive analysis, product/service line, sales, and marketing strategy, financial projections, and appendix . While there is no single template for a successful business plan, these elements need to be addressed in any well-written document.

However, with so many different free business plan PowerPoint templates available online, it can be difficult to know where to start.

Here are five tips to help you choose the perfect template for your needs:

• Consider your audience. Who will be viewing your presentation? Make sure to choose a template that is appropriate for their level of sophistication and knowledge.

• Keep it simple. A complex template with too many bells and whistles is likely to distract from your message. Choose a clean and streamlined design that allows your content to shine.
• Make sure the template is versatile. Can it be easily customized to fit your specific content? Look for a template that includes placeholder text and graphics so that you can easily insert your own slides.
• Test the template before you use it.

According to Small Business Trends , a  third of small businesses get started with less than $5,000, and 58% got started with less than $25,000. 26% of business owners started because they were willing to be their own boss; 23% because they wanted to pursue their passion and 19% because the opportunity presented itself. Other reasons to start varied from being not ready to retire to dramatic life events such as divorce or death. 

Out of all small businesses   started in 2014, 80% made it to the second year (2015). 70% made it to the third year (2016). 62% made it to the fourth year (2017), and 56% made it to the fifth year (2018). A bit more than half of all startups actually survive to their fourth year. As of then, the startup failure rate is about 44%.

When it comes to the main reasons for failure, 42% of them fail because of a lack of market needs; 29% due to lack of cash and 23% because they hire the wrong team. 19% get  outcompeted or face pricing/cost issues and 17% because of un-friendly product or lack of a business model. Poor marketing and relationship with costumers also have an impact on 14% of unsuccessful ventures. 

If we read between the statistics, there is room for hope. Almost 50% of all new business make it through. And  82 % of successful business owners didn't doubt they had the right qualifications and proper experience to run a company.

Statistics  indicate that experience plays a role in the success of a business enterprise. Founders of previously successful business   have   a 30% chance of success with their next venture. Founders who have failed at a prior business have a 20% chance of succeeding versus an 18% chance of success for first-time entrepreneurs.

However, successful entrepreneurs are increasingly  encouraging  new generations to start a business  as soon as possible .

"Start as soon as you can: you can learn as you go and you have nothing to lose," says Filipa Neto, managing director of  Chic by Choice . " I have a three-skill motto: preparation, persistence, and no fear of failure. And preparation can come from everywhere."

All experienced entrepreneurs had to start from somewhere. One place where to start from is the beginning: the business plan . This is the basic structure you can follow when you do not know how to go about it.

1. Cover page

Small but important, it should include the name of the business and your name and contact information.

2. Table of Contents

How to Create Business Plan for a Mobile App

September 17, 2024

Having an idea for an app is easy, but planning the business side of it can be tricky and important. A business plan for app development gives you a clear way on how you should proceed further in the market. It helps you get good investors.

However, if you dive right into app development without sufficient analysis, you could be delivering an app to audiences who lack the necessity or desire for it. For example, 42% of startups fail due to the absence of demand for their product in the market .

That is why developing a business plan for an app is so crucial. It is useful when setting up a plan and developing it because it allows you to trace what you have to do and reminds of what might be overlooked.

Now, let’s get into the main topic: The stages that the entrepreneur should follow when developing a mobile app business plan.

Why Create a Business Plan for Mobile App?

A business plan for an app is an important tool that is the backbone of any business enterprise. It has been described as a plan or a route chart that starts from the inception stage or the identification of the idea and leads to the destination or success while ensuring that you do not reach a point like the financial management point.

In other words, it becomes your map for creating the app , managing the financial resources, and making sound choices as you progress through the development phase.

By creating a well-structured mobile app business plan, you’ll be able to:

• Competitive analysis and an understanding of the conditions in the market opt for rational choices when it comes to marketing and communication.
• Come up with a good financial management plan for the business to help it survive.
• The other is a management function of evaluating performance so as to properly allocate resources.

Additionally, a business plan helps in aligning your team:

• Makes all people have a common goal or ambition Defines objectives, targets & focus
• As much as a good business plan supports the proprietor in his day-to-day operations, it can also be an important tool in getting investors and stakeholders on board.

A survey by Palo Alto Software with 2,900 respondents revealed that business planning helped the business succeed and claimed that an entrepreneur with a business plan is nearly twice as likely to succeed as one without one. It was quantified in business growth, raising capital, and obtaining loans as the form of success.

In short, a business plan is more than a formality—it’s a critical tool for driving growth, gaining financial backing, and keeping your team on track.

Steps to Create a Business Plan for a Mobile App

The idea of launching the mobile application business is thrilling, however, if one does not have a strategy it is like beginning the voyage with no compass. Having an effective app business plan when launching an app is very crucial to making your app business successful.

Your business plan is your map for the future, no matter if you need money, partners, or just an orientation for your startup.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create an effective business plan for mobile app.

• Executive Summary

The executive summary will give a general description of your specific field and the mobile application, including the vision of the company as well as the business objectives and value proposition of the app.

Despite the fact it goes at the start of your business plan, it is usually written at the end, as it is the summary of points that identify your position.

It is in this case that this section should give prospective investors an overall view of exactly what your application entails and some of the opportunities it presents. Here’s what to include:

App Name and Description

Write a simple statement in layman terms to explain what the app does, and then explain the issue that the app addresses. This informs users the core functionality of the app and the rationale behind it hence making it clear what value the users will derive from the app.

Target Audience

Determine the most suitable application of the app to target as well as the category of users in this application. Who your app will be most appealing to and why they should be interested Whether it is consumers, established businesses, or a niche. Select the target audience and explain to them why they should be interested in using the app.

Unique Value Proposition (UVP)

Explain how your application is unique from others that are already out there. Your UVP is important because it tells consumers and the market why your app is better than the other existing apps in terms of new idea, problem solving style, or user interface.

Business Objectives

It is also important of state both the short term and long term objectives you have for the app startup. It may contain such goals as the introduction of a product, the desired number of users, revenue increase or new partnerships. Proving that you have reasonable targets will help investors understand that you have an effective plan for business development further on.

• Market Research and Analysis

Market education is critical when it comes to the success of your app, and this area is vital in persuading potential investors that there’s need for the app . Market analysis enables you to know your client base, competition, and where you could find potential in the market.

Lenders also would like to know that you have researched and you are coming into a promising market. Take care of the below factors before going on next steps.

Industry Overview: First, you need to focus on the general trends and attributes of the mobile application market customers’ behavior in relation to mobile apps and technologies that affect the particular category of applications.

Explain how your app relates to modern trends, if it solves emerging needs, and how it might reshape or enhance the existing model. This is where you state how your app fits into the industry and is needed in today’s world.

Target Audience Insights

Defining your target market and going deeper by identifying age, location, gender, and many others, as well as their needs and behavior. Avoid being stereotyped, and help your users understand what gets them going, the problem they have, and how you can solve it for them.

Every investor wants to know that their money will be going towards something that serves the intended purpose effectively; in this case, your app’s primary users are in pain when using other applications, and your app solves this pain.

Competitor Analysis

Analysing competitors and stating their key attributes as well as their positions in the markets. Identify why these competitors are successful and where they lack strength in their industry.

This is the time to prove how your app stands out in contrast to the similar apps already available in the market, how it can complement the existing apps or how it is more beneficial than the similar apps.

Market Potential

It is also useful to substantiate your market numbers and their expected growth for your target audience. Give market signals to the investors, which prove that not only the size of the market is huge, but also it is growing up, giving long-term opportunities for success.

• App Development and Product Strategy

Below is a more elaborate structure that will be followed when creating and launching your application. These are the questions that investors need to ask to get an understanding of the technical strategy, management decisions, and product life cycle.

A clear and well-defined strategy shows that you are not just taking a random approach toward the development process but are ready to launch the app into the market in the most organized manner.

App Features

List the basic functionalities to be incorporated into your app and explain how these functionalities will help solve the users’ problems. Discuss how each feature can benefit the user, fix issues, or enhance the existing solutions available in the market.

For instance, if you are creating a fitness app, major features could refer to custom training schedules, monitoring of progress, or compatibility of an app with health-tracking gadgets.

Make a list of the features that your app is offering to its users and proceed to prove that the given features are necessary, helpful, and in response to the demand.

Technology Stack

Bifurcate the development tools that you are going to employ alongside the frameworks and the platforms. Whether you are building an iOS or Android app or focusing on cross-platform development using technologies such as Flutter or React Native, investors will always be interested in the application’s technology.

Also, mention any back ends that would be involved, as well as cloud services or APIs that will be used in developing your app. Giving this technical information gives a sense of confidence to investors that you have chosen the right tools and platforms that would support the scalability, security, and performance growth of your business in the near future.

Development Roadmap

Lay out a clear timeline that includes key development milestones. This may include the design phase, development of the prototype, alpha and beta testing phase, phases that incorporate feedback from the users, and the final launch phases.

Cite the major milestones and simplify the process into workable stages so that the employer sees that, indeed, you have a timetable in mind. It makes investors happy when you prepare a plan that includes a timeline, how you intend to spend more time on track, and what can hinder you.

• User Experience (UX) Strategy

It is very important to understand that a great app can’t be just about how well it works but how it works and how it feels to a user. Explain how you are going to design the UX of the application and how you are going to ensure that the application is easy to navigate, has good aesthetics, and is responsive to users’ interactions.

Describe how feedback from the users will be used to enhance the design with a customer focus that keeps the users interested. If you have intentions to perform usability testing, wireframing, or even A/B testing, it is also necessary to note all the above in order to stress the necessity of UX in your process.

UI/UX Strategy plays a crucial role in making a business plan for app development as it involves a lot of careful planning.

• Monetization Strategy

This section outlines how your mobile app business plan will generate revenue. There are multiple ways to monetize a mobile app, and choosing the right one is crucial for profitability.

• In-app purchases
• Freemium model
• Subscription services
• Ads and partnerships
• Pricing Model : Discuss pricing for premium features, subscriptions, or one-time purchases.
• Long-term Monetization Strategy : How do you plan to scale revenue as the app gains users?

• Marketing and Customer Acquisition

Again, even the greatest app would not be popular if people do not use it, and hence, there is a need to develop a clear strategic marketing and customer acquisition approach.

Here, you’ll dive into how you plan to drive traffic to your app, ensure users not only download it but keep coming back, and most importantly, why they’ll choose your app time and time again over competitors.

Investors have a lot of questions, and they need to feel confident that your business plan for an app goes beyond just acquiring downloads—it also focuses on building long-term user loyalty. Here are the key points to discuss with your team.

Marketing Channels

Determine the selected media that will provide the best access to your target group. Think about where your users are engaged the most, whether through platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn, or even through the app stores through ASO or any other form of marketing like email, SEO, and content.

The key here is to market your product according to the daily routines and habits of your targeted users; this convinces investors of the best places to find the targeted users.

Growth Strategy

Explain how you will be going about it and the specific strategies to be taken in order to enhance the download of the app as a part of your business plan for mobile app.

Some of the growth techniques can be Google AdWords or Facebook advertisements, Influencer or Affiliate Marketing, Referral Marketing- motivating existing customers to bring in more customers, and Public Relations by placing Articles and Blogs in Magazines and Newspapers and the like.

Make sure to emphasize scalable strategies that will not only increase initial downloads but also sustain growth over time. Providing examples of successful campaigns in your niche or similar apps can further strengthen your approach.

Retention Plan

Getting the users is always an achievement, but they must constantly come online to participate and be productive. Explain how you will maintain users’ retention every now and then by releasing updates, new features, or personalized content or integrating engagement strategies such as push notifications, in-app messages, or loyalty/rewards programs.

Retention can also be created when the app provides some form of value over time, improves content updates, and provides better functionality or by developing an association through community feeling.

Another aspect to guarantee long-term traffic is offering users a great experience and giving feedback by providing frequent updates.

KPIs and Metrics

To assess the effectiveness of the marketing and obtaining of users, it is necessary to know the list of KPIs and the metrics to be used. These might include:

• App Downloads: The total amount of users who download and launch your application.
• Daily Active Users (DAU): The number of users who just opened this application every day, pointing to ongoing consumer curiosity.
• Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV): The overall dollar amount that the user is to generate in the lifetime of his/her association with the app, relevant in determining the extended returns on investment.
• Churn Rate: Users do not continue using the app: the share of consumers who decided not to use the application during some time span.
• User Retention Rate: The proportion of those consumers who maintain and keep on using the application beyond the initial days when the installation was done; it could be 30 or 90 days among others.

Without these metrics, it becomes rather difficult to know what is doing well in the marketing strategy and where some changes need to be made. Specifically, investors will be keen to know how you track as well as manage user acquisition and user retention costs.

• Financial Projections

This is where you’ll show the financial viability of your app startup. Investors will closely scrutinize your numbers, so be detailed and realistic.

• Revenue Projections: Estimate how much revenue your app will generate over the next 1-5 years.
• Cost Breakdown: Include the costs of app development , marketing, operations, and customer support.
• Break-even Analysis: When will your business become profitable?
• Funding Requirements: If you’re seeking investment, clearly state how much funding you need and how you’ll use it (e.g., development, marketing, hiring).

• Team Structure

Investors bet on people as much as ideas, so highlight your team’s qualifications and experience.

• Founders : Provide bios of the founders, including relevant experience in app development, entrepreneurship, or your industry.
• Key Hires : List other essential team members such as developers, designers, marketers, and project managers.
• Advisors or Partners : Mention any advisors, board members, or strategic partnerships that bring value to the business.

• Risks and Challenges
• Market Risk : Will users adopt the app? Is there a market for it?
• Technical Risk : Will the app be built on time and within budget?
• Competition Risk : How will you stay ahead of competitors?
• Monetization Risk : What if users don’t convert to paying customers?

Lets go one step deeper into these risks. It will give you better idea on what type of risks are involved in your idea.

Every business always has some risks that it is bound to encounter, making it very essential for the business owning the app to reveal to potential investors the potential risks that could be encountered in future.

A solid app business plan addresses potential challenges and offers solutions to overcome them. Investors appreciate this approach because it shows that you and your team have carefully thought through the entire process and are prepared for any obstacles that may arise.

Discuss and note down the risks related to your app idea . It will help you calculate the risk involved and the ratio of success.

Market Risk

It’s important to answer a big question: Is there a real need for your app, and will people want to use it? Business leaders will want to know how useful your app is and if it’s something that people will find valuable and use regularly.

To avoid this, it is advisable to invest time and effort in market research on price-level variance, users’ needs, trends, and how the proposed app will seamlessly fill this niche. Include, for example, beta-test results proving that people would like to use your product.

Further, positioning an app as a solution to a certain problem in a given sector can reduce the risk that customers associate with using new apps in the market.

Technical Risk

Developing an app brings along its organizational problems – will it be finished on time and within cost estimates? Has it been built satisfactorily?

This is where potential investors will need to see that you have a team of developers behind your idea and a concrete time frame to launch the application. In order to decrease the level of technical risk, the project development plan should contain the following points:

• The detailed plan of project development, including the tasks that should be performed at different stages, the time to complete them, and costs that may be expected,
• The contingency plan includes information about the activities, the time, and the costs to be expected in case the project is delayed or there are some technical problems. ’
• This can also impress the investors and enhance their confidence in the project, given that some parts of the project, such as development, might have been done by an experienced team of developers or by reputable development firms.

Competition Risk

More and more players enter the market, and as a result, competition intensifies in the application market. Based on this, the investors will question how you will set your app apart from those in the market and those of competitors. To this, ensure that you state, specifically, the value that your app offers and the market space this particular app covers.

Competitor analysis also comes into play here – effectively presenting that your competitors have been thoroughly analyzed, then the targeted audience will have no option but to consider your thought-out and superior app proposition in terms of innovation or a better experience, or even the unmet needs of the public.

Further, the description of how a firm will maintain the innovative, update, and enhancement cycle also reduces investors’ concerns such that the app will remain competitive in the future.

Monetization Risk

Although you can gain thousands, if not millions, of users, finding ways to persuade them to start paying for the service can be quite a daunting task. This concept will be interesting to investors, and they will specifically want to know how you will monetize your app and how confident you are that users will be willing to pay for the services of your app.

To reduce this risk, it is important to explain in detail how you are going to generate your revenue — subscription, in-app purchases, or ads. Further, the explanation of how other apps in the same category or offering similar features have been monetized or the data from any test run or beta versions about users’ behaviors can help enhance your argument.

The other thing that is also best to categorize is flexibility in your monetization strategy, just in case you need to get on a different route depending on the response from the users or any changes in the market.

• Reviewing Your Mobile App Business Plan

It is highly advisable to analyze your mobile app business plan and make certain changes on a daily, weekly, monthly, and especially yearly basis, given the fact that you might have new goals and objectives, which the initial plan does not take into consideration. Here’s a comprehensive checklist to guide you through the review process:

• Ensure that the app’s purpose, features, and value proposition are still accurately described.
• Make sure the initial goals you set when entering the industry remain realistic in the short and long term with current vision and market environment.
• It also recommended to check for any new updates or changes in the market which may have an impact towards the application.
• Ensure that your understanding of the target audience has not changed due to new demographics or changes in user behavior.
• Follow up on competitor data to know whether new entrants or any modification in existing competitors might affect your strategy.
• Revise the market size and growth opportunities with the new information available in the markets.
• Check whether the major functions and values of the app remain relevant to the users and the overall demand at the market.
• Determine if this technology stack and applied development tools are still relevant or if some new tools or technologies should be incorporated.
• Create updated timelines, other major development milestones, and any modifications to the development process , incorporating feedback received in previous phases.
• Take a look at the employed user experience design to determine whether the improvement can still meet the user’s or customers’ demands and requirements.
• Refer to the evaluation of the effectiveness of selected marketing channels and modification of strategies as necessary based on the performance data and shifts in the users’ behaviour.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of growth strategies and look for new methods to attract more users (which may be a new platform or a new trend).
• Evaluate the retention strategies to know whether they are helping to maintain a regular engagement of the users and whether there is any other strategy that can be used.
• Revise key performance indicators and other performance data on the basis of the data for the last periods and make changes to the targets if necessary.
• Discuss the differences with the previous plan in terms of operations, such as variable changes in processes and systems.
• Integrate the feedback of the users in order to enhance the applicative tool and match the expectation of the users.
• Make sure you collect feedback from the other stakeholders and investors so that their opinion is also taken and included.
• Look for any updates in law or policies that may have an impact on your app or general business.
• For your app to survive and not be removed from the app store, see to it that your app complies with the current data privacy, security, and any industry guidelines therein.
