Click on one of the following for more information, or simply scroll down to view all the information. Remember, your business plan is a road map for your business.

Presentation is important, and so is content.
The more homework you do on your business, the better the Business Plan. Make your financial projections as realistic as possible. Do not overestimate sales and operating results, or the time it takes to get things done. Do not underestimate capital requirements to start up or expand your business. SEED is also in the process of establishing a small business technical assistance program in collaboration with the Southeast Business Network .
