Critique a Draft Business Plan Before Showing It to Anyone

The plan feels solid because you wrote it. This reads it the way an investor or lender will: looking for the missing evidence, the unsupported assumptions, the numbers that do not add up, and the question that will be asked in the first five minutes. Then it tells you what to fix before you send it.
