# Uploading Your Business Plan

> Learn how to upload, write, or choose a template for your business plan.

Your business plan is the starting point for everything Transmuter builds. You can upload an existing document, write one from scratch, or start with a template.

## Supported file formats

Transmuter accepts business plans in the following formats:

| Format         | Extension | Notes                                                |
| -------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| PDF            | .pdf      | Most common format. Text is extracted automatically. |
| Microsoft Word | .docx     | Full formatting support.                             |
| Markdown       | .md       | Great if you write in tools like Notion or Obsidian. |
| Plain text     | .txt      | Simple but effective.                                |

<Note>
  The maximum file size is 10 MB. If your document is larger, try removing embedded images or
  splitting it into sections.
</Note>

## Upload a file

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your project">
    Navigate to your project from the dashboard and click on the business plan section.
  </Step>

  {" "}

  <Step title="Choose Upload File">
    Click the **Upload File** option. You can either drag and drop your file onto the upload area, or
    click **Browse** to select it from your device.
  </Step>

  {" "}

  <Step title="Wait for processing">
    Transmuter reads and processes your file. This usually takes a few seconds. You will see a
    progress indicator while the document is being analyzed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the extracted content">
    After processing, Transmuter shows you the extracted text and an AI-generated summary. Check that everything looks correct -- sometimes PDF formatting can cause minor issues with text extraction.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Write in the editor

If you prefer to write your business plan directly, Transmuter includes a built-in markdown editor with live preview. Features include:

* **Auto-save** -- your progress is saved automatically as you type
* **Live preview** -- see formatted output side-by-side as you write
* **Version history** -- go back to any previous version of your plan

## Use a template

Not sure where to start? Our template library offers structured starting points:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="SaaS Product">
    Best for subscription-based software. Includes sections for pricing tiers, user roles, key
    features, and integrations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Marketplace">
    For two-sided platforms connecting buyers and sellers. Covers listings, search, transactions,
    and review systems.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Internal Tool">
    For custom business tools. Focuses on workflows, dashboards, reporting, and role-based access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Mobile App">
    For mobile-first products. Includes sections for user experience, notifications, and offline
    capabilities.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="E-commerce">
    For online stores. Covers product catalogs, shopping cart, checkout, payments, and shipping.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Each template gives you a structured outline with placeholder text. Fill in the details with your specific product information, and you are ready to go.

## Tips for a strong business plan

The more detail you provide, the better your final product will be. Focus on:

* **Clear feature descriptions** -- what should each part of your product do?
* **User types** -- who will use your product, and what are their needs?
* **Business model** -- how will you charge? Subscriptions, one-time payments, free tier?
* **Design preferences** -- any specific look and feel you have in mind?

<Tip>
  After uploading or writing your plan, Transmuter's AI reviews it and may suggest improvements.
  These suggestions are optional but can significantly improve the quality of your final product.
