Planning Your Business
Planning is critical to starting and building a business. We've provided a link to an assessment, and information on the local organizations that can help you get ready—from developing a business plan to developing a business network.
SCORE
Information you gain from research, workshops, articles and conversations will help you understand things necessary to start and manage your business. Frequently, answers lead to more questions. Evaluation is an ongoing process, even for long-standing businesses. As you address and eliminate unknowns, you greatly increase your chances of success.
A business plan gives you an organized approach that can guide an entrepreneur in understanding the various aspects of beginning and managing a business. It provides an outline of the critical aspects of a business that must be thoroughly considered, and gives templates for financial analyses that can help make a business successful.
Many landlords, most investors, and most lenders require a complete business plan from prospective clients.
The SCORE website has templates that can be downloaded, at no charge:
