Thank you so much, this content is very helpful for someone who is just getting started! At the stage of the business plan, I decided that I needed help. I found a Firmao company that offered me the CRM system. Now I run my own company. It is much simpler as the system is tailored to my business. I still use it today and recommend it :)

Great. But the lean business plan template is not available for download.

I've written about 20 plans, and the shortest time it took me was a full day because the pro forma or forecasting requires enough data to make sure it's close enough to roll out and transition. But yeah, to get the content in, an hour will get you started.
