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