After you finish plan application in Stage 1, the next step is to develop your business plan. The business plan is a document that you attach to your plan application.
We recommend you use the BiD Network templates to create your business plan. These templates can be found at the bottom of this page. Please make sure you first read the instructions carefully for using these templates.
If you use your own templates, please make sure to provide us with all information that is necessary for us in order to assess your plan.

Please note that the BiD Network crew might refer to your application in a later stage to interest partners, coaches and investors in your business. Therefore please make sure your application is always attractive and up to date.
If you participate in a business plan competition, please bear in mind the competition deadlines.
You can only create one plan at the same time. If your application has been accepted, it will stay visible to BiD Network visitors for at least a year after your last editing date.
The BiD Network Business Plan form is an easy-to-fill in spreadsheet for inserting all the written information and data pertinent to your plan. The purpose of this form is to help the BiD Network team assess your plan, as well as provide you with a basis for the final business plan which you will eventually present to investors.
In addition to the BiD Network Business Plan form, BiD Network also provides you with a Business Plan Presention document. The purpose of this word document is to allow you to present the data you entered in the business plan form in an attractive way to potential investors. Also, the presentation document allows you to edit any information you imported from the BiD Network Business Plan form, as well as enables you to include additions such as photos, charts, etc. Please follow the following instructions for using these forms.
Download the BiD Network Business Plan form located below and fill it in.
Upload your filled in form and submit it according to the instructions above (see: Steps to take to submit your business plan).
Step 3 is optional. After you have filled in the Business Plan form, you may use the Business Plan Presentation document to edit your business plan form and add additional information, photos, etc. This will allow you to make your business plan more attractive to potential investors. Should you wish to include this Business Plan Presentation document to your application, you may do so at any time by including it as an attachment to your application.
