Have you researched your idea. Do you know?

  • Your target market

  • Your potential customers

  • Your target markets' needs

  • When/Where they will buy your product/service

  • How will your customers find you

  • What is your competition doing


A Business Plan will help you focus your proposed business venture and should include:

  • A summary

  • The market and competition - your research

  • Promotion and pricing - how you are going to get your business

  • Management - is it you, your experience, who is involved?

  • Operations - the structure of the business

  • Finances - your cashflow forecasts

  • Financial Requirments - how much money do you need


Keep your business plan short and to the point.
