QuickTenders

Business Plan Builder

A business plan that actually gets funded.

Most business plans get rejected because they read like templates. QuickTenders builds yours around your real numbers, your sector, and the specific funder you are approaching — SEFA, NEF, or IDC.

A funder-ready QuickTenders business plan with financial projections

Stop staring at a blank page

AI writes each section from your actual business.

Eight guided sections — from executive summary to funding request — drafted with AI using your sector, province, trading history and team. You review and refine; it is never generic placeholder text. Ask it to write, improve, or suggest realistic revenue streams and cost categories for your kind of business.

Different funders want different things

Tailored to SEFA, NEF or IDC — and reviewed like they would.

Pick your funder and every section is written to what they weigh most — SEFA's affordability and repayment, NEF's transformation and B-BBEE, IDC's industrial impact. Then an AI reviewer scores your plan, flags contradictions between your story and your numbers, and lists the exact questions a committee will likely ask — before you submit.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a QuickTenders subscriber?+

No. You can build one plan on a pay-per-plan basis, or get it included on a QuickTenders subscription (one plan every 3 months).

Which funders does it support?+

SEFA, NEF and IDC each have a tailored mode, plus a general development-finance mode if you're approaching another institution.

Does the AI write the whole plan for me?+

It drafts each section from your business details and can improve what you write, but you stay in control — review and refine every section before you export.

Does it include financial projections?+

Yes — an income statement, cash flow and balance sheet generated from the revenue and cost figures you enter, recalculated as you change them.

Is the exported plan branded as QuickTenders?+

No. The PDF export is clean and unbranded, so you can submit it directly to a funder.
