Request for Question Clarification by easterangel-ga on 15 Jul 2003 03:07 PDT

Hi! Do you need sample business plans or tips on how to make one? Plus
if you need samples, what types of businesses do you have in mind?

Thanks.

Greetings Irvind:

My favorite source for business plans is http://www.bplans.com.  They
offer business plan software for sale *and* they also offer free
samples of complete business plans that may be accessed from
http://www.bplans.com/sp/  The directory with links that appears there
is

Business Plans - 50 samples  http://www.bplans.com/sp/index.cfm?a=bc

Marketing Plans - 70 samples  http://www.bplans.com/sp/index.cfm?a=mc

Web Strategy Plans - 5 samples 
http://www.bplans.com/sp/index.cfm?a=wc

Advertising Plans -  15 samples 
http://www.bplans.com/sp/index.cfm?a=ap

When you visit a sample such as West Pacific Marketing at
http://www.bplans.com/c/sp/d/?s=1018&sh=1 you will see the index for
the plan appearing like this:
 
  1.0 Executive Summary 
    Highlights 
    1.1 Objectives 
    1.2 Mission 
    1.3 Critical Success Factors 
      1.3.1 Internal Factors 
      1.3.2 External (Business Environment) Factors 
  2.0 Company Summary 
  3.0 Services 
  4.0 Market Analysis Summary 
  5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary 
  6.0 Management Summary 
  7.0 Financial Plan 

Each section named is a live link to whatever part of the plan you
wish to view.  They vary in content size depending on the type of
plan.
