Business plan and financial model for a startup?

I've had one idea for a year now. I worked out almost all the logic and drew the design of the service. The next step is to find an investor. I have read and studied this subject a lot. I concluded that investors need numbers, calculations, income, losses, and so on. How much will they invest and when will they receive the nth amount. And so you need a business plan and a financial model. There is one person here, a professional and asks for a deep business plan and a financial model for 70,000 rubles. Do you think it's not expensive? But I will say right away that I am confident in the project, it is only a matter of time and a good advertising budget.

Money down the drain.
An investor doesn't need you with a bare idea. No matter how beautiful the tables and pictures are, the
Investor is interested in you with MVP.
Sell/mortgage an apartment, a car, etc.
If sure.
PS:
However, non-professional investors (people who simply earn a little more than they spend) in the way that you plan can really be deceived.
The problem is that non-professional investors are very nervous people. They want to invest 3 kopecks today and get 3 rubles profit tomorrow. And this is almost a real tomorrow. For example, after 3 months.
A professional investor, able to invest for a couple of years - will not lead.

If you have been giving birth to an idea for a year now and are sure that it will pay off - you should already have a development plan, monetization and other things, and a lot of numbers taken from reality. Otherwise, what is your confidence based on, dreams and fantasies?
You can give money for a business plan only if you have already found an investor with whom you have agreed that you are doing a business plan and receiving investments.
Now talk to at least one investor and find out how it really is.

The investor does not need interfaces and product structure.
You need a normal whitepaper, crypto% would spoil the attitude to this document a little, it was not made for them, but just to explain the essence of the business or its model in order to be able to "transmit" the description once in an understandable and minimally sufficient form for the other side (investor).
I will insert a piece of my material on this topic on vc:
/// the beginning of the quote from the article
strategy is a set of tactical actions (blanks) on a certain landscape (environment) and with the definition of threats (expected events as goals) and ways of responding to these situations.
The roadmap allows you to see the entire project at once and forms a communicated and discussed form of your idea. Displays cause-and-effect relationships, milestones and options for the development of events.
I consider the goal to be what you need to get from the outside world by completing the task. This wording allows you to focus better.
When all teams write documents for investors telling how they are going to make the world cooler with their product, none of the teams offers options for the development of events in the format of answering Semyon Slepakov's question - what if not?
Any investor asks just this question looking at the proposed roadmap - he wants to see that you understand how you will achieve the stated result if something goes wrong. And something goes wrong.
A good roadmap/strategy/plan checklist:
Outline everything that is in your head about the project immediately on the map

If everyone has a business plan, you need to draw it up yourself, and if not, then no one will help you.
70,000 for financial settlements are of good quality. There are at least a couple of weeks of work.

Make an MVP and try to sell your product for at least 3 kopecks... Will they buy? Until you have real sales, at least some, you are unlikely to be of interest to an investor. Investors generally don't give money for product development. Develop at least something yourself, start selling at least somehow ... Then you can count on the money that you use both for product development and marketing.

70 thousand rubles for a startup business plan is expensive. The startup has something to spend this money on.
Finmodel (probably - to order) + make a presentation yourself - that's what you need.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
