Good Business Plan?

[mark_hadfield]

All,

I'm looking for a good template for a business plan. I need to write one for an idea I have and am looking for someting to get me started... If I have the business plan I can then start to think about all the things I need to think about...

Thanks all

the best (and possibly most cost effective) way of doing it is to purchase the business plan production software from Palo Alto (about £100 I think). If you search for business planning software I think you may find some sites that discount it.

Other than that if you e mail me I can provide you with a basic word template and some general instructions :D

Ignore the bloke that says anything about how to research your plan though - he's a donut : )

Hi

Haven't you got a local Chamber of Commerce who give monetary assistance or a local business support unit? They are only to happy to help and talk you through it all. Alternatively, if you request a start up pack from the high street banks, they give you guidelines.

Good luck Mark.

HSBC has an excellent one on floppy disk. You have to open an account though :(
