Business plans built for real decisions
Yapqero produces structured, investor-ready business plans for companies at every stage - from pre-revenue startups to established firms entering new markets. Each document is built around your actual numbers, your specific sector, and the audience reading it.
What we offer
Six distinct service types, each addressing a different planning need. They can be commissioned individually or combined into a single engagement depending on scope.
Since 2016Investor-Ready Business Plans
Structured for equity investors and venture funds. Covers market sizing, competitive positioning, financial modelling over three to five years, and a clear narrative around the founding team and opportunity. Formatted to match the expectations of Irish and EU-based investors.
Bank & Loan Application Plans
Prepared specifically for credit institutions and government lending bodies. Emphasises cash flow viability, debt serviceability, and collateral context. Includes sensitivity analysis showing how the business performs under different revenue scenarios.
Grant & Public Funding Applications
Aligned with Enterprise Ireland, Local Enterprise Office, and similar public funding criteria. The plan addresses eligibility requirements directly, frames the project around job creation and regional impact where applicable, and follows the narrative structure reviewers expect.
Internal Strategic Plans
Designed for internal use rather than external audiences. Focuses on operational clarity - team structure, departmental targets, quarterly milestones, and resource allocation. Useful when a growing business needs a shared reference document to coordinate decisions across departments.
Feasibility Studies
For businesses evaluating a new product, location, or market before committing resources. The study examines demand signals, cost structures, regulatory considerations, and break-even timelines. Delivered before a full plan is written, it informs whether the opportunity is worth pursuing at all.
Plan Review & Revision
For businesses that already have a draft plan but need it strengthened before submission. Covers structure, financial consistency, narrative coherence, and formatting. Commonly used when a previous plan was declined or when the business has changed significantly since the original was written.
How a plan gets built
The process is structured, not templated. Every engagement starts with a discovery call and ends with a document your team can actually use.
Most business plans fail not because the business is weak, but because the document doesn't match the audience reading it. A bank loan officer and a venture investor are looking for very different things, even when evaluating the same company.
At Yapqero, the first step is always to identify who the plan is for and what decision it needs to support. That shapes everything - the financial depth, the narrative tone, the level of market detail, and the length of the document itself.
Discovery Call
A 45-minute session covering your business model, funding goals, and the specific audience for the plan.
Data Collection
You provide existing financials, market context, and team information. We identify gaps and request what's missing.
Draft & Review
A full draft is delivered within the agreed timeline. Two rounds of revisions are included in every engagement.
Final Delivery
The finished plan is delivered in PDF and editable format, with a brief summary of key assumptions made.
Plans that hold up under scrutiny
Reviewers at banks, grant bodies, and investment funds read dozens of plans each month. The ones that move forward are consistent - the numbers match the narrative, the assumptions are documented, and the structure is easy to navigate.
Each plan produced by Yapqero goes through an internal consistency check before delivery. Financial projections are cross-referenced against the market data in the plan. Assumptions are stated explicitly rather than buried in footnotes.
Frequently asked
Each plan covers an executive summary, market analysis, financial projections, operational structure, and strategic milestones. The depth of each section depends on the service type and the audience the plan is written for.
A standard investor-ready or bank plan typically takes 10 to 18 working days from the initial consultation to final delivery. Feasibility studies are usually faster. Timelines depend on how quickly client data can be gathered and reviewed.
Yes. Every engagement includes two structured revision rounds within 30 days of delivery. These cover content adjustments, financial data updates, and formatting changes. Additional revisions beyond that window can be arranged separately.
The service works across all stages. Pre-revenue startups seeking seed funding, growing companies applying for bank loans, and established businesses planning expansion have all used Yapqero plans. The approach adjusts to where you are, not a fixed template.
The entire process runs remotely. Discovery calls, data exchange, and reviews all happen online. Clients are based across Ireland and occasionally in other EU markets. Physical location has no bearing on the engagement.
"The plan Yapqero put together was the clearest document I had seen for our sector. The financial model held up through three rounds of questions from the bank. We got the facility approved."
