Book Four deals with BUSINESS PLANS! So, your project is ready to go... Now you just need to find some funding to get it made! To do that, you'll have to sell your project to some investors in order to attract that vital production financing that you need. It all starts with a great business plan! Whatever stage you're at in the process, whether early in development or just looking for that final chunk of equity, a business plan is the crucial document that you need to sell your vision to an investor. It doesn't matter whether you are raising millions of dollars for a feature film, or just a few thousand dollars for a short film or web series pilot. A business plan is the best way for you to look professional and competent, and to make investors take you seriously.
