Build a Loan-Ready Business Plan From Your Real Numbers (No Hallucinated Financials)
Interviews you for the actual numbers and facts of your business, then writes a tight, funder-ready business plan with financials…
AI Prompts for First-Time Founders
A generic AI business plan reads well and falls apart the moment a loan officer or investor asks how the numbers actually tie together, because the model filled every gap with plausible-sounding, made-up figures. These AI prompts for first-time founders work the other way around: the AI interviews you for your real numbers and facts first, then writes the plan around what you actually gave it.
The result is a plan built for the conversation that follows it, not just the document itself: financials that connect to each other, and language a bank, SBA lender, or investor will take seriously instead of a polished template that reads as generic. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Frequently asked questions
Will a lender or investor accept an AI-assisted business plan?
What matters to them is whether the numbers hold up under questioning, not who typed the document. A plan built from your real revenue, costs, and assumptions survives that conversation; a plan full of AI's default placeholder figures does not. Use AI for structure and drafting, and make sure every number traces back to something real.
Can AI make up realistic financial projections for me?
It can make up plausible-looking projections, which is exactly the problem: they will look internally consistent but have no basis in your actual business. Good prompts force the AI to ask you for your real revenue, costs, and assumptions first, and build the projections from those answers instead of generating default numbers.
What should I have ready before asking AI to write my business plan?
Your actual numbers: current or projected revenue, cost of goods or services, fixed costs, how much funding you need and what it is for, and any traction you already have. The more real numbers you bring, the less the AI has to guess, and guessing is where hallucinated financials come from.
