  For example: Sales | 152,000 | 146,000 | 4 percent above Gross margin | 9.8 percent | 11 percent | 1.2 points below Operating costs | 118,000 | 120,000 | 2,000 under Customer complaints | 14 | 10 | 4 above

• Cash and money owed

  For example: Bank balance 212,000. Customers owe 38,000, of which 6,000 is more than 30 days late. Nothing is due to suppliers beyond terms.

How long should a business plan be?

As short as it can be while it says what you sell, to whom, how you earn money and what you need. Ten pages is plenty for most small businesses.

Will a plan get me funding?

It cannot promise that. A clear plan helps a bank or an investor understand you, and they decide by their own rules.
