Quite a few documents are required to produce a business plan. These vary depending on whether you are creating, expanding or restructuring the company.
To create a comprehensive business plan, a whole series of appendices is needed.
For setting up a new business:
Finances
- Excerpt from the debt collection register
- Planned balance sheet and profit and loss account

- (potentially) Guarantees, filing excerpts, real estate valuation
Generally
- Excerpt from trade register (if company already exists)
- Brochures for other companies, products and potentially, the competition
- Market analysis
- Schedules
- Reference letters, certificates of employment
For expansion of commercial activity or restructuring
- Certified annual financial statements containing balance sheet, profit and loss statement and appended notes
- Interim statement with indication of debtors and creditors
- Cash flow statement
- Business plans (machines, locations, etc.)
- Contracts (holdings, cooperation, licenses, trademarks, etc.)
