What exactly would a business plan contain?
Quoting Zanny:
I own my own business, and work at one too... I would suggest starting a business plan to be able to get a loan.. Bookstores are a hard business to run, on account of the big corporate stores like Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc...
It's exactly what it sounds like... You write up a plan, proposal, etc of what kind of business you want to run, how you will run it, with what product, your goals, deadlines, marketing etc..
No bank is going to give you a nickel for a business unless you show them a plan.. Plus, it is to your advantage to have a plan to keep yourself on track, and see where you need improvement, and how to accomplish your goals.
This is Business Management 101. Please tell me you have at least taken ONE college level class inthis regard. Please tell me you have at least taken that, and maybe Marketing 101.
