Summary of the Three Tips for an Engaging Business Plan

Tip 1 — Keep Your Company Summary Short and Clear

Underwriters review dozens of plans per week. If they can’t understand your business in the first 100–150 words, they move on.
Dr. Paul stresses:

  • Avoid long backstories
  • Avoid family history or origin stories
  • Focus on what you do, who you serve, where you operate
  • Keep wording clean and direct

Many plans get rejected simply because lenders cannot determine what the business actually does.


Tip 2 — Use Visuals to Break Up the Monotony

Business plans are text-heavy documents. Visuals make them engaging and easier to understand.
Recommended visuals include:

  • Revenue charts
  • Startup-cost pie charts
  • SmartArt for SWOT analysis
  • Tables for pricing and services
  • A professional logo on the cover

Visuals improve comprehension, boost professionalism, and make your plan look lender-ready.


Tip 3 — Tell a Logical, Easy-to-Follow Story

The structure of your business plan matters.
A strong narrative flow keeps the reader grounded and reduces confusion.

Dr. Paul’s recommended structure:

  1. Company Description
  2. Products & Services
  3. Industry Analysis
  4. SWOT Analysis
  5. Marketing Strategy
  6. Financial Projections
  7. Funding Request

Never start with financials before explaining the business—they won’t make sense to the reader.
