# Business Plan

Create and submit a business plan in the Partner Portal to set business, turnover, and sales targets in collaboration with your Partner Account Manager (PAM).

In the Partner Portal you can create a business plan in collaboration with your Partner Account Manager (PAM). This allows you to set business, turnover, and sales targets in a standardised way. This article explains how to create a business plan.

## Create and submit a business plan

1\. Log in to the Partner Portal with your credentials.

2\. Click **Projects & Sales** > **Business plans** in the left-hand navigation.

3\. Click **Create business plan**.

4\. Complete the individual sections of the business plan. It is automatically saved temporarily. You can interrupt the creation at any time and continue at another time.

5\. Click **Check and send** to send the business plan to <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> for review.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Result:** The business plan is submitted to <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> for review. You will be notified as soon as the review is complete. This can take up to a few days.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**

* You can only have one business plan at a time. To create a new business plan, you must delete the old business plan. You can only create one business plan per calendar year.
* Once you have submitted the business plan, you cannot make any changes yourself. You can also no longer change old business plans. Changes can only be made via your PAM.
  {% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/partner-program/working-with-partner-portal/business-plan.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
