About Plan4Business
Plan4Business is a collection of planning material for owner-managed online companies. Everything on the site is written to be used on a working day, not to be admired.
What is here
- Plans: the five documents that are worth writing, in the shortest form that still works
- Models: six calculations, with the structure and the mistakes that come with each
- Metrics: seven figures, defined precisely enough to be compared over time
- Checklists: four lists for the moments when something has to be complete
- Cycle: how often to plan, review and look at the numbers
Who it is for
Owners of online shops and other digital businesses that are past the first year and small enough that the owner still knows every supplier by name. Some pages are equally useful to buyers looking at such a company.
Where transactions happen
Where planning ends in a sale or an acquisition, listings and services are published at Businessforsale.eu (https://www.businessforsale.eu/).
Corrections
Definitions differ between countries and between advisers. Where a page states something that does not match common practice, a short note by e-mail is enough to have it reviewed.
