HZZ business plans for the self-employment measure
A business plan tailored to HZZ criteria — realistic projections, clear structure and a defensible argument for viability.
The HZZ business plan is evaluated against clear criteria — the committee judges viability, realism of projections and the link between the business description and the financial plan. We prepare documents built for those criteria, with no generic filler and no numbers that fall apart in conversation.
What changes after we work together
- A generic plan template with an unclear structure.
- Projections without logic — numbers that can't be defended in front of the committee.
- Weakly justified costs and no clear link to the activity.
- A plan aligned with HZZ committee criteria.
- Realistic projections with assumptions behind every number.
- Clear cost rationale and a brief for the oral round.
When this service makes sense
- Unemployed candidates applying for the HZZ self-employment measure.
- Founders starting a sole trade or company as their first business.
- Applicants whose first plan was returned for revision.
- You have approved status for the measure and are preparing the file.
- You need a structured plan in the format the committee expects.
- You are unsure how to justify costs and financial projections.
What HZZ actually wants to see in a business plan
HZZ does not evaluate writing style — it evaluates how realistic, consistent and executable the idea is. These are the criteria the plan must meet.
- Clarity of the business idea
A single, clear answer to what you sell, to whom and why now.
- Realism of revenue and costs
Numbers driven by market assumptions, not by the desired outcome.
- Market and customers
A concrete target segment, route to the customer and grasp of competitors.
- Sustainability
A plan that holds after the grant is spent, not only in year one.
- Justification of the investment
A clear link between the requested amount and the steps it enables.
- Ability to execute
Experience, skills and resources that make the plan credible to the assessor.
