Test your business plan before you bet on it
A business plan is a prediction written as a spreadsheet. SparkTower turns it into a market you can play: your prices, costs, staff and starting cash against real customers and rivals who answer back, so you see where the plan holds and where it breaks.
Your plan's numbers, in a market
Open the simulator closest to your business and put in your own prices, costs, hours, staff and starting cash. Or upload a profit and loss or a month-by-month sales history, and the simulation is fitted to your real figures.
Play it forward
Run it month by month, quarter by quarter or year by year. Each period you set price, marketing, product, hiring, capacity and financing; a forecast shows what each decision does before you file it.
Find the breaking point
See the month the cash runs out, how many customers you need to break even, and what a rival's price cut or a bad season does to you. Change one thing at a time and see what moves.
Rivals that answer back
A spreadsheet assumes the competition sits still. Here the rivals hold most of the market on day one, cut prices, spend on marketing and react to what you do.
Against a steady plan
Every simulator shows what a careful, ordinary plan ends up with. Put your plan beside it: if yours does worse than steady, find out why before the bank does.
For a business that already exists
Owners use it to test the next move — a second location, a price rise, a new hire, a loan. A project on SparkTower can also ask "what if I hire, borrow or raise prices?" and see three ways it could go against its own numbers.
What is a business plan simulator?
A tool that turns a business plan's numbers into a market you can play forward. SparkTower runs your prices, costs and cash against simulated customers and rivals, period by period, so you see whether the plan's money lasts and what breaks it.
Can I test my plan without an account?
Yes. Every simulator page lets you try your own price, marketing, team and strategy beside a steady plan, signed out. Building your own copy and previewing it is free with an account; starting it is $10.
Does it work for an existing business?
Yes. Several simulators start a business as it stands today, at its real size, and you can upload a profit and loss or monthly sales history to fit the simulation to your own figures.
Is it a replacement for a financial model?
It is a test of one. A spreadsheet tells you what happens if everything goes to plan; a simulation tells you what happens when customers, rivals and the economy don't.
