financialmodels.com.au exists for one reason: most business plans sold online are templates that don't tie out, written by people who haven't actually built the business. We took a different approach.
We built this for buyers who care about return and risk, not just the narrative. Every plan ties the story to a financial model where the numbers actually link, and to an honest view of what could work and what could not.
We built this business because we've been on both sides of the table. We've written business plans to raise capital - some that worked, some that didn't. We've also reviewed business plans as investors, as lenders, and as board members. The pattern is almost always the same: the plans that fund are the ones that treat the reader as intelligent and aim to pre-empt his or her concerns and perceived risks.
That means:
Every plan is a set of three documents:
Select plans also include a what-if scenario testing - a separate Excel workbook that runs 1,000 iterations across 14 input variables and gives you a probability distribution of outcomes. It's the honest answer to “how likely is this to work?”
We're transparent about what these plans are and what they aren't. They're a starting point - a high-quality frame for your business thinking, benchmarked against real Australian market data, written the way a CFO would write it. They are not a substitute for your own judgment, your own customer discovery, or your own financial advice.
If you're unsure whether our plans are right for you, email us and ask. We'd rather talk you out of a purchase than have you leave a bad review.
