Do the judges read the business plan in its entirety?
It depends on the judge. Most judges will read the Executive Summary to get an overall feel for your business venture. Then they will look at the estimates of market potential and sales as well as your financial projections. If these are not realistic, then they probably aren’t interested in an in-depth review of your plan. If the projections are realistic, then they will look at the plan more closely to formulate the questions they would like ask you. They are really asking themselves—Would I invest in this proposed company or not?
