# 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.

## Steps
1. Brief Corey on the idea: Tell Corey what the business is, who it serves and what you want the plan for - raising money, a bank, or your own clarity. The purpose shapes the plan, so Corey settles it with you first.
2. Research the market: Corey sizes the market, maps the competition and gathers the evidence the plan needs to be credible rather than wishful. You get the sources, not just the claims.
3. Draft the sections: Corey drafts the full plan - summary, problem, solution, market, model, go-to-market, team and risks - in plain, confident language. Each section is yours to accept or push back on.
4. Build the numbers: Corey builds a simple financial model - revenue, costs, runway and the assumptions behind them - so the plan adds up. You can change an assumption and watch the rest follow.
5. Refine like an owner: Review the draft and tell Corey what to sharpen - "the market section is thin", "make the summary punchier". It revises and reships until the plan sounds like you and holds up to scrutiny.
6. Keep it current: A plan goes stale the moment it is filed. Corey keeps yours live - updating the numbers, the market view and the milestones as real data and learnings come in, so it is ready whenever you need it.

## FAQ
Q: Can AI write a business plan?
A: Yes, a credible one. Corey researches the market, drafts every section, builds a simple financial model and keeps it current. The judgement - the strategy, the assumptions, the story - stays yours; Corey does the research, drafting and upkeep.

Q: Will it be specific to my business?
A: Yes. Corey works from your idea, your market and your numbers, not a generic template. You brief it, review each section and push back where it is off, so the finished plan reflects your business rather than a fill-in-the-blanks form.

Q: Is it good enough for investors or a bank?
A: It gives you a credible, evidence-backed draft with a financial model and clear sections. You should still own the strategy and check the numbers - Corey does the heavy lifting and keeps it current, but the plan is yours to stand behind.

Q: How is this different from a template?
A: A template is a blank form you fill in alone. Corey does the research, writes the sections around your specifics, builds the model and then maintains the plan as things change - so it stays useful instead of going out of date in a drawer.

Q: How much does it cost to write a business plan with Corey?
A: Corey is £49 a month or £490 a year, with a 28-day probation at no cost and no card to start. The same subscription keeps the plan current afterwards, rather than paying again every time the numbers move.
