Pitch Builder
Write your business pitch
Use a real idea or a safe practice example. Short, specific answers are easier to present than long paragraphs.
Simple numbers
Add your costs and sales
Estimated sales£300.00
Estimated monthly result£160.00
Sales to cover monthly costs8
At these example figures, 30 sales at £10.00 produce estimated sales of £300.00 before all real-world costs and obligations.
Keep the claim honest. These are learning estimates, not a forecast. A real venture may involve tax, fees, delivery time, returns, insurance and costs not included here.

Useful answers
Pitch questions
The activity builds communication and business thinking. It never requires a child to approach investors or enter a financial agreement.
Does a young person need an existing business?
No. They can use a simple idea, a school or community project, or a practice example. The purpose is to learn how to explain an idea clearly and respond to useful questions.
Does this page ask children to seek real investment?
No. This is a learning and communication activity. It does not introduce young people to investors, request money or recommend that a child enters a financial agreement.
What does the Pitch Builder produce?
It creates a concise pitch outline covering the problem, customer, solution, evidence, simple numbers, funding purpose and next step. The visitor can copy, download or print the outline.
Can someone review the completed pitch?
A parent, educator or youth-work professional can use the prompts on the page. Nu FOCUS can also be asked about suitable pitch feedback or mentoring, subject to fit, availability and any price confirmed before booking.
Can a pitch contribute to an accredited project?
A pitch, planning notes and reflection may be useful evidence within an eligible project. Certification is separate and is available only where Nu FOCUS has offered a suitable validated AQA UAS unit and all evidence requirements are met.
