Writing a Business Plan
A business plan serves as a road map to the future of your small business. A good business plan will help you secure financing and credit for your business, provide a guide for managing operations, finances, promotion and marketing and clarify goals and objectives.
The Small Business Administration can give you advice on the elements of a business plan, sample business plans and how to get the most out of your business plan.
