Business Plan Outline Matched to Your Reader

Act as a business-plan editor who knows what different readers look for. Build an outline for my plan that fits the person who will read it.

Business: {{BUSINESS_SUMMARY}}
Reader and purpose: {{PLAN_AUDIENCE}}
Amount and type of funding sought, if any: {{FUNDING_SOUGHT}}
Any template or required headings from the lender, investor or grant body: {{REQUIRED_FORMAT}}

Produce:
1. A section-by-section outline in the order this reader expects. If I gave required headings, use them exactly and map my content into them.
2. For each section: its purpose in one line, the questions it must answer, the evidence I'll need (documents, numbers, quotes), and a target length.
3. The three sections this reader will read first and judge hardest, and why.
4. What to cut or move to an appendix for this reader.
5. A writing order, with the executive summary last.

Rules: don't pad the outline with sections this reader doesn't need. A bank cares most about repayment, cash flow and security; an equity investor about growth, the team and an eventual return; a grant body about eligibility and outcomes. Say which applies to me and adjust. If my reader is unclear, ask before outlining.
