"Used by students at Vogue and creative professionals across the industry to plan, launch, and grow their businesses."
The exact framework used by fashion and creative professionals to build businesses that last.
Most business plans never get finished. Not because the idea isn't good — but because people don't know where to start.
This template changes that.
The Business Plan Guide Template is a 24-page, structured framework built for creative entrepreneurs and small business owners who need to get their ideas out of their head and into a plan that actually works. No business degree required. No jargon. Just the right questions, in the right order — so you finish what you start.
I built this template for myself first, then refined it through years of teaching at Vogue. Students used it to launch real businesses, pitch to investors, and get clarity on ideas they'd been sitting on for years. It works because it doesn't ask you to write an essay — it asks you to fill in the boxes. One at a time.
If you have an idea and you're serious about building it, this is your starting point.
WHAT'S INSIDE
(use as a section below the description — Squarespace lets you add additional text blocks)
24 pages covering everything you need:
Business & Objectives — define what you do, how you do it, and why it matters
Vision, Mission & Values — the foundation every serious business needs
Short, Medium & Long Term Goals — so you know exactly where you're going
Skills & Experience — map what you bring to the table (and where to fill the gaps)
Target Customers — build your ideal customer profile and understand your market size
Market & Competitors — know your landscape before you launch
SWOT Analysis — honest assessment of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
Sales & Marketing Plan — how you'll actually find and keep customers
Operational Plan — the day-to-day structure behind the business
Back Up Plan & Risk Assessment — because smart founders plan for what can go wrong
Example Template — a completed reference to guide you through each section
WHO IT'S FOR
This template is for you if:
You have a business idea and don't know where to begin
You've started a plan before and never finished it
You're a creative professional who wants to formalise what you're already doing
You need a plan to pitch to a bank, investor, or partner
You're a student or recent graduate ready to build something of your own
