Business Plan Examples

What kind of format should I use for my business plan?  How should I get started researching my industry?  What information should be included in my business plan?  These were just a few of the questions I had when I decided to write a business plan for a new coffee shop in my hometown.  Little did I know about the amount of time, research, and energy I would expend over the next several weeks to get the plan on paper and in front of the decision-makers. 

After scouring the internet for business plan examples it was clear I would have to figure it out on my own so I took what I could find, bought books on writing a good business plan and went to work developing a plan from scratch.

Creating the Business Plan

All the research I had done meant nothing if I wasn't able to communicate the knowledge that myself and my partner had gathered over the previous weeks.  Having the right format and knowing that we were including all the important topics the investors were looking for made the difference in a successful meeting for the future coffee shop.

Today that coffee shop is still running strong and is a focal point of the community that it serves.  Being able to view some business plan examples would have saved us a lot of time and energy in the development stages of our planning process.  If you are looking for some good business plan examples take a look at our site and even view the actual small business plan that we used to plan and develop the coffee shop that is still in operation today.
