Business Plan

This page is a short list of what goes in a business plan. I culled this list from Squidoo, and I encourage you to check out that web site for more useful tips.

  1. Executive Summary (your elevator pitch, no more than 3 paragraphs)
  2. Investor Relations (What you want from other people)
  3. Description of Business (about 1 page)
  4. Sustainable Competitve Advantage (The only thing anyone will read other than the executive summary)
  5. Description of Competition (a full page is about right)
  6. A list of competitors with a the strengths and weaknesses of each in about a paragraph per.
  7. A timeline for what you want to do and when
  8. SWOT chart (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
  9. Financials (make up some numbers and use them to make excel graphs)
