Read the guideBEFORE YOU BEGIN
Start with the example.
Look closely at what is inside.
A readable business plan, an explanation of the financial assumptions, an annual financial-report PDF and a full pitch deck. Cedar & Saffron includes 12 plan pages, 7 financial-report pages and 10 slides. Those counts belong to this example.
They are calculated results from a saved illustrative model for a fictional business. They are not actual trading results. Inputs, public references, first-year losses and proposed funding are disclosed on the example page.
Yes. All three Cedar & Saffron PDFs are available to view and download without an account. The complete plan is also readable directly on the page.
Your own forecast assumptions are edited in the BPLAN AI application. The example’s downloadable financial document is a PDF report, rather than an editable spreadsheet.
Start a project in the application, answer seven questions, build your forecast and review your plan and pitch. Preparing and exporting your own documents follows the terms available in the application. Opening the application does not copy the example or replace an existing project.
