Hello all,

I can't get the newest "did you write a biz plan" thread to open, so I started a new one ~ not sure if that's OK or not? Here's another blank biz plan in Word that you can copy & use. Typically, the original "business plan" was required by the bank if you went to start a business and needed a loan. But they've evolved greatly due to the wealth of businesses like ours. I'm finding it's a great place to start because it forces you to consolidate all your notes, thoughts & ideas about your new biz in one place.

Good Luck!

Wow, that is the most comprehensive outline I've seen! Fabulous. Thanks so much! I especially like the Refining the Plan part at the end.

SCORE is pretty amazing, isn't it?

I agree. I found a pretty good one somewhere that I was using and I think it had the same basic outline. But this one seems to go into much more depth and I like that it bullets items to think about. Great for idea generation. I'm definitely saving it to my VA folder!

Thanks!

Hi all,

Great to anyone who can use this SCORE plan ~ they do have a lot of good info on their website on basic business startup. I found time yesterday to work on my plan, and finished my list of services ~ that's progress!!

This is so helpful! Thank you. I had no idea where to begin with a business plan but now I have plenty. This is great, thanks.

Awesome tool! Thank you! Business plans are pretty stressful, I love how this one pretty much puts in ABC format.
