The Business Plan is an essential tool for attracting an investor's attention. They receive hundreds of plans every week and spend no more than ten minutes on each one before deciding if it is of further interest. This means that the plan needs to be a short, snappy document that conveys the facts about your business quickly and clearly.

David Bateman''s template has developed through years of successful deals and in just 15 slides, with just a few sentences on each, it provides everything an investor needs to know. No more long business plans full of text – this is a ''one-size-fits-all'' solution avoids confusion and keeps it simple but successful.
