Inquiry Monday: Where Can I Find Help Writing A Business Plan?

A sound business plan is a necessity for any business, big or small. Often, as a business owner, you will be presenting this plan to banks and investors, in hope they will give you the money you need to operate or expand. Unless you are completely inept at copying your company info into a template or writing a few paragraphs, writing your own business plan is a managable task. The following are links which provide additional resources and terrific examples of business plans you can customize to fit your company's profile:

1) SBA Business Template - Review and complete each section of the template. At the end of the program you will be able to generate and save a formatted business plan which can later be further modified or presented as a final product.

2) Score - There are several templates for different stages in business development.

3) Business.gov - Many great resources for writing your plan.

4) LDS Employment Resource Services - An outline for constructing a business plan.

If you require additional information, just Google "business plans" and more websites will be provided to you. Creating a business plan is one of the first major steps when forming a business and with the assistance of these resources, you can build a solid foundation for your company.
