How to write a business plan with Corey: step by step
To write a business plan with Corey, brief it on your idea and goal, then let it research the market, draft each section and build a simple financial model. You review and refine like an owner, and once it is done Corey keeps the plan current as your numbers and learnings change, so it stays a working document rather than a one-off.
Most business plans are written once, under pressure, and then never opened again. That is a waste, because a plan is most useful when it is current. Corey treats it as a living document: it researches, drafts and models the plan, then keeps it up to date as your business moves. Here is the order that works.
1. Brief Corey on the idea
Start with what the business is, who it serves and what you need the plan for - investors, a bank, or your own clarity. The purpose changes the emphasis, so Corey settles it with you before drafting a word.
2. Research the market
A plan is only as good as its evidence. Corey sizes the market, maps who you are up against and gathers the data the plan needs to be credible. You get the sources behind the claims, so you can stand behind every number.
3. Draft the sections
Corey drafts the full plan - summary, problem, solution, market, model, go-to-market, team and risks - in plain, confident language that reads like an owner wrote it. Each section is a draft you accept or push back on, not a final word.
4. Build the numbers
Corey builds a simple financial model: revenue, costs, runway and the assumptions underneath. Change an assumption and the rest follows, so you can pressure-test the plan instead of hoping the maths holds.
5. Refine like an owner
Read the draft and tell Corey what to sharpen - “the market section is thin”, “the summary is too soft”. It revises and reships until the plan sounds like you and holds up to a hard question. You own the strategy; Corey does the drafting.
6. Keep it current
This is the part templates cannot do. A plan goes stale the day it is filed, so Corey keeps yours live - updating the numbers, the market view and the milestones as real data and learnings come in. When an investor or a bank asks, the current version is ready.
That is how Corey changes writing a business plan: not a document you dread and then forget, but a working one that stays true as your business grows.
