What is a business plan?

Ira Porietis: I am in the same boat. A business plan is a plan about your business that you want to start. Everything from the finances to what products you want to sell. I would go to SBA.gov they is give a lot of help. the small business administration can help a lot. Many cities have a group of people to help you through the process. The banks will use the business plan to figure out if they will give you a loan. That is why it is so important, plus it is a good idea to keep it because it keeps your business in perspective. Again, I would start at SBA.gov. If you need more help, I would got to barnes and noble and get a book to help you out. One that will tell you step by step. I hope this helps....Good luck...Show more
