Be sure that the income statement and cash flow projection is in fairly good detail as accurate and realistic as possible and included in the front of the plan. Tailor your presentations written or oral to fit your audience. Debt capital people are interested in conserving and protecting capital and making repayments. Include a repayment schedule. Managers and financiers need plans but they don't want an extended 'war and peace' or a telephone directory.
Some planners think that bulk stands for merit.
This may be true for personal use but not true when presenting to financiers. Most financiers go through hundreds of proposals and will give your plan a five minute glance and decide whether to invest or not and more often to ask for more information. Therefore it is very important to have a very good executive summary of about four to six pages. It should be condense, factual and touching on all the key points. If you have covered these items in your presentation you stand a very good chance of winning the finance that your business needs.
