Custom Business Plan (Basic)

The process of writing down what is involved in bringing your idea to reality requires dealing with the why, what, who, how, where, when, and how much of your venture. Writing a business plan forces you to take a deep look at your idea and how you will turn it into a business.

Doing so helps you recognize areas that need rethinking or support. Your business plan will typically include the following.

Business description—What do you plan to do; why are you starting the venture?

Market analysis—Who will be your customers; what do they want from you?

Competitor assessment—Who will you compete against; what do these competitors offer?

Marketing plan—How will you reach your customers?

Operating plan—How do you plan to implement your idea?

Financial plan—How much money will it cost, and where will you get the necessary funds?

Executive summary—What are the fundamentals of the venture?
