Many small business owners needing to prepare a business plan for the first time feel overwhelmed .... a template may be just the thing to get started.
Here's a few resources to look over and see if any are a fit for what you need:
* Score Template Gallery
* To do it on your own you can also go to the Small Business Administration website (www.sba.gov) and enter business plans. They have myriad tools for folks. You can follow the step-by-step instructions to prepare your plan.
It can easily take 100 - 200 hours but you'll find it very worthwhile, short and long term.
* Business Plan Pro by Palo Alto Software. It comes with hundreds of sample plans.
* I would recommend Teach Yourself Business Plans by Alpha
* Free-Plan, which includes section-by section guidance in accompanying help and manual. It is free!!!
* Finally, if you've never done a business plan before ... you NEED to read Guy Kawasaki's "The Art of the Start."
That ought to be enough options to get you started.

Hi all,
A business plan template may not be the absolute best way to complete your plan. A good template can really help you get your thoughts organized. It can provide a guideline, so that you're not stuck looking at a blank page trying to figure out where to start and show you the general layout of a standard business plan. Thanks a lot!
Opening your own business is an exciting venture. One of the first things you should do to ensure your success is write a business plan.

As nice as business plans are, they can sometimes be difficult to make and they can even be time consuming. That is why a large number of individuals make the decision to use business plan templates. If you are looking for a relatively easy way to develop your next business plan, you may want to think about using the internet to find templates. Although you can create your own business plan, all on your own, there are a number of benefits to using the business plan templates that you can find online.
