Wins

Finished Mill Road two weeks early. Signed a three-year contract with the city school trust.

Problems and what we learned

Timber and steel costs rose faster than our quotes. We need price review clauses in contracts.

Customers and market

Three clients asked about solar panels. A competitor opened in the north.

Risks to watch

Supplier delays, a shortage of skilled bricklayers, and a late-paying client owing EUR 85,000.

Priorities for next quarter

1. Raise margin to 17 percent with fixed supplier prices.
2. Hire two bricklayers.
3. Win 6 new clients.
4. Collect all debts over 60 days.

Decisions needed

Approve EUR 40,000 for the new site software.

Most are. Fill in and download them for free as Word or PDF, with no account. A few longer documents are premium: free to fill in, paid once to download, and marked with their price.

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.
