Claude Business Plan Prompt for Startups and Small Business
THE PROMPT
Act as an experienced startup consultant who has helped more than 100 small businesses write business plans that won funding. Write a complete business plan for my business idea below.

MY BUSINESS IDEA:
- Business name (or working name): [your business name]
- What I sell: [product or service, in one sentence]
- Target customers: [who buys this, age group, location, income level]
- Price range: [your prices]
- How I will sell: [online shop, physical store, services, marketplace]
- Startup budget: [amount you can invest]
- My experience in this field: [brief background]

YOUR BUSINESS PLAN MUST INCLUDE THESE SECTIONS, IN THIS ORDER:
1. Executive Summary — a one-page overview that explains the business, the problem it solves, and why it will succeed.
2. Problem and Solution — the exact customer problem, and how my product or service solves it better than current options.
3. Target Market — size of the market, customer segments, and the specific group I should serve first.
4. Competitor Analysis — 5 realistic competitors, what they do well, where they are weak, and my clear advantage over each one.
5. Products and Services — what I sell, pricing for each item, and what makes each one worth the price.
6. Marketing and Sales Plan — how I will find my first 100 customers, which channels to use, and a realistic monthly marketing budget.
7. Operations Plan — daily operations, suppliers or tools I need, and the team roles required in the first year.
8. Financial Projections — monthly revenue, costs, and profit estimates for the first 12 months, plus a simple break-even calculation.
9. Risks and Solutions — the 5 biggest risks for this business and one practical solution for each.

RULES:
- Use simple, professional language a bank manager or investor can understand.
- Every claim must connect to the details I gave you. Do not invent fake market statistics; where a number is an estimate, clearly label it as an estimate.
- End with a short checklist of the 5 next steps I should take this month.
