A practical fit
For people with a business to develop
Starting something new
Clarify who you serve, what you offer and which assumptions need testing before you commit further.
Building an existing business
Step back from daily work to examine the model, strengthen the plan and choose priorities for growth.
Developing a proposition
Give a business, asset or project a clear story and supporting material for the next conversation.
Local businesses, service companies and online merchants belong here alongside new ventures.
What you leave with
Useful work that belongs to your business
A business plan you can explain
Download a business plan in PDF and HTML, built from your submitted work. Bring your proposition, reasoning and priorities into one coherent document.
Supporting work you can revisit
Keep your submitted step documents together with available assessment and evaluation reports. Review the decisions behind the plan as the business develops.
Financial projections you can work with
Export a financial projection CSV when the required inputs are valid. Use your assumptions as a starting point for a more informed financial conversation.
A graduation business pack
Download your plan, supporting documents, available reports and completion certificate together. Choose what to share and with whom.
Your pack reflects the work you complete. Financial projections use your inputs; the programme helps you examine assumptions and prepare materials, rather than guaranteeing a business or funding outcome.
How you work
Guidance while you do the thinking
Work through the programme at a pace you can sustain. Read, apply the ideas to your business, save your drafts and refine your documents before submitting them.
An AI tutor with business context
Ask questions about the current step and your business. Use the guidance to challenge assumptions, explore alternatives and improve your own work.
Room to revise
Drafts and submitted document versions are separate, so you can develop your thinking and keep a record of earlier submissions.
Evidence behind the story
Build supporting materials alongside the plan, making the next discussion with an adviser, partner or investor more concrete.
After graduation
Keep moving with Your Next 90 Days
A finished plan is a starting point. Set an outcome, choose priorities and turn them into thirteen weekly plans with review checkpoints.
Record results manually, learn from what happens and decide what to change. Supported app connections can offer optional data imports that you preview and confirm.
Choose the next route for your business
Graduation also unlocks WealthBridge access at no extra cost. Prepare a private opportunity draft for owner review before publication—whether the conversation is about investment, a sale or a strategic partnership.
Operational apps such as BUY and CRM have their own pricing and access requirements.

Business Catalyst for institutions →Questions before you begin
Do I need a finished business idea?
You need a proposition or business you are willing to work on. It can evolve as you examine customers, delivery and the assumptions behind it. Existing businesses can use the same process to reconsider their next stage.
How much time should I allow?
There is no single completion time that suits every business. Set aside regular focused sessions for the reading, research and document work. The depth of your existing material and the questions you need to investigate will affect your pace.
Will the AI write the business for me?
The AI supports your thinking with guidance and feedback. You provide the business context, review suggestions and remain responsible for the claims and decisions in your documents.
Is this only for businesses looking for investment?
No. You can use the programme to launch, improve operations, clarify a proposition or prepare for a partnership. WealthBridge is an available next route; you can also focus on executing your 90-day plan.
Are my business materials published automatically?
No. Sharing and opportunity publication are separate choices. Review what you want to disclose before preparing a shared portfolio or a destination opportunity.
