What a good plan contains
A lender or investor looks for: executive summary (the idea in half a page), problem and customer, market size, competition, product or service, marketing and sales, operations, team, and financial projections: start-up cost, monthly expenses, pricing, break-even point and 3-year profit forecast. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit). For loan applications such as MUDRA, banks also want a project report with means of finance, margin money and repayment schedule.
Worked example
Break-even example for a bakery
| Fixed costs per month | ₹60,000 |
| Price per box | ₹300 |
| Variable cost per box | ₹180 |
| Contribution per box | ₹120 |
| Break-even | 60,000 ÷ 120 = 500 boxes a month |
