In this series, we are looking at what we can learn from entrepreneurs about restarting our businesses post-lockdown. A business model is “a representation of how an organization makes money.”

A business model can be summarized as: customers, channels, customer relationships, value proposition, what you have and do, partnerships, revenue, and expenses.
