What it means
A business model describes who the customer is, what value they get, how it is delivered, and how the business earns from it.
Why it matters
Two businesses selling the same thing with different models — one-off sale versus subscription, direct versus channel — have completely different economics and are worth different multiples.
What it looks like in practice
The Business Model Canvas is a useful one-page framework: segments, value proposition, channels, relationships, revenue, resources, activities, partners and costs.\n\nThe revenue model is the part most worth examining: one-off, recurring, usage-based, licensing, or a mix.
What to watch out for
Confusing the model with the product. Changing how you charge is often a bigger change than changing what you sell.
Where to get proper advice
Your own unit economics, which is where a model is proved or disproved.
