At GoSME, we ask every company to complete a Business Model Canvas (BMC) before seeking investment — and for good reason. The Business Model Canvas is a visual tool that helps you map out the core elements of your business on one page. It’s like a blueprint — a fast and effective way to clarify what needs to be in a business plan before you write one. Instead of a long document, the BMC gives you a snapshot of your:
• Value propositions
• Customer segments
• Revenue streams
• Channels and marketing
• Key partnerships
• Cost structure
• Activities and resources
The BMC makes sure you’re clear on the building blocks of your business, and this not only helps organise and grow your business, but can also act as a silent signal to investors. Our GoSME platform is home to investors who want to see clarity and structure. They don’t just want a long proposal — they want to see that you understand how to create a business plan and how your operations, revenue, and brand align. A polished BMC can fast-track you to serious investor conversations.
