“Need is the mother of inventions.”

The first step towards writing a one-page business plan is to write about the description of the problem your customers have. Basically, at this step, you are going to write about the identification of need of your target customers.

For example, you can think of making a product like three wheelchairs for disabled people that can help them crossing the stairs and such hurdles etc. So at this point write about the problem your customers have, and they can’t cross the barriers easily with standard Wheelchair.

Writing the Solution

After the identification of the problem, the next step is to move on to the solution. As a problem is not a problem if you have the solution. So write about your product or service which is going to solve the problem.

Also, write how it is going to solve the problem. For example, in our model of a Wheelchair (given above), the solution to the problem is to introduce a three-wheeled chair. Because of three wheels, it will help the disabled persons to move smoothly. Write in brief about your solution to the problem which you have written in step 1.

Business Model

Once you have figured out the problem as well as the solution, the next step is to move forward to making a business model. Don’t worry; it is not going to be rocket science. All you have to do is to write down that how you will make money, and You will simply write the answer to this.

For instance, in our example mentioned above at this step, we’ll determine the cost of making one Wheelchair and the price we are going to charge for one Wheelchair. And simply price – cost = Profit margin.

It is important to note that while determining the cost also include the selling cost; you are going to make for the product.

Target Market and Competitive Advantage

At this step, you have to think about the market which you are going to target. And also about the competitive advantage, you might have. To answer the question of how to identify the target market, simply identify your broad audience. Or in simple words, determine who is your customer and how many of them.

For example, for a three wheelchair, our customers are disabled persons, and there is a vast market for the disabled ones (in a supporting context). To analyse the competitive advantage, you have to keep in mind your strengths and your competitor’s weaknesses.

Financial Summary and Funds Requirement

Last but not least is mentioning the financial summary and the funds’ requirement. At this point, simply include the economic matrix, cash flow, balance sheet and forecasting of sales. Also, analyse that do you have sufficient funds to make the specific product or do you need fundraising. You have to be clear and specific about this at this point.

If you need to raise the amount from investors, then how much is required and from where you can have the deficit amount to support your business plan.
