I will write executive summary business plan executive summary writing

executive summary | business plan executive summary | one page business summary | executive summary for investors | executive summary for lenders | funding request summary

Busy lenders and investors often read only the executive summary, then decide whether to open the rest. If the ask, the market and the numbers are not on that first page, the plan may never be read.

WHAT YOU GET:

The funding ask and its use stated in the first paragraph

The problem, your answer and who pays, in plain words

Key figures taken from your plan, with nothing new invented

Your team's strengths in two or three lines

A version shaped for the reader you name

One or two tidy pages in US or UK English

WHERE MOST EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES FAIL:

They are written before the plan's numbers exist and never updated. They open with company history instead of

the ask. Their figures differ from the ones in the financial section.

I write the summary last, from your finished plan, and check every figure against your spreadsheet before delivery.

Tell me who will read the summary and how much you are asking for and I will suggest an opening line.
