Description: "Whenever the word 'Business Plan' is mentioned most people freeze! What follows are the words 'I don't know how to write one'. This is why I have taken the lid off and written in plain English what needs to be considered and included in a business plan. This book has been written to help those who are writing plans for the first time or for those who write business plans infrequently (Even seasoned business plan writers will learn one or two things, I promise!). I have included two types of Business Plan Templates. The first one is for those who feel they need a very 'Comprehensive Business Plan' and the second template is what I have called a 'Power Point template' that can assist you in writing a business plan in just a few hours. Whichever one you choose to use, I want you to know that the information contained in this book has been used to help many start-up and growing businesses and I am confident that it will be of tremendous value to you."--Back cover.
