Foundher Success Kit
We are passionate about entrepreneurship and ways that female business-owners are making an impact – and we’re here to help. We’ve created and collected resources to help all founders organize, strategize, and reinvest in their businesses and themselves through tools, information, and insight that inspires us.
As entrepreneurs, we’ve learned that a business plan, the right financial reports, and effective technology are key to building and sustaining a successful business. We also know the value of using good advice to invest in our own learning and growth.
We’ve designed the FoundHer Success Kit to provide these valuable resources all in one place.
Business Plan Template
Whether you’re planning, starting, growing, or changing your business – and even if you’re simply focused on the day-to-day – a business plan is critical: it’s an at-the-ready summary of your company to show supporters, banks, and investors. It reminds you where you are and where you’re headed.
As part of the FoundHer Success Kit, we’ve created a comprehensive business plan template to help make the process easier.
This plan is downloadable and can be edited and customized for your business.
DownloadFinancial Templates
Entrepreneurs need the right numbers on hand to forecast their profits and losses, gauge when and how much to pay themselves, and envision what the next year will look like. Boundless Futures Foundation has put together financial templates for founders to track finances and make projections.
These templates can be downloaded and customized.
