Business plan

[chiefs1okie]

I am needing to write a business plan and have gone to several 'FREE" sites only to find that I need to purchase the actual software or workbook etc etc etc..... does anyone here know where I can actually download a business plan template or know of a site I can get business plan samples?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Uh, a library? Try a book. They still exist.

I am not an expert in this but did you try google docs?

Mine are usually scribbled on a cocktail napkin.

If you can't do one or the other, you're probably not ready to own and run a business.

Business Plan Pro. It is the gold standard, from what I know.

You mean the paper kind? That people take in the bathroom?

Perhaps it is for school.

If you are trying to get a loan from usbank I suggest it not include mspaint stick figures

I doubt it. Schools provide you the tools you need to complete the projects. I'm guessing its for financing of some sort.

Are you needing like a budget spreadsheet or just a general quarterly plan?

Depends on what it is for. In school, I had to write several of them. I can give you the topics you typically discuss in a business plan. If it is for your personal business, and you don't know enough off the top of your head, find a SBDC and have them help you.
