Statement of Justification

The final step in this section of your business plan is to prepare a Statement of Justification that explains how your organization will make a difference and why you are uniquely capable of introducing this new SBCC product, service or intervention in response to the challenge.

A Statement of Justification is much like an "elevator pitch.” It is a mechanism for crystallizing and broadcasting your organization's intent.
