The elements of a business plan can be broken down into three basic components. First, there is the overall concept of the business. .
This describes what the business does and how it will operate. This includes the location and structure, marketing plans, analysis of competition, number of personnel required, and any governmental or legal requirements.
The second element includes accounting statements, equipment and inventory lists, open loan applications and capital-on-hand report. Also include detailed month-to-month projections, a three-year summary, and cash flow projections.
The third element includes: building agreement, bank letters, supplier letters and supporting documentation for any required license or governmental regulation should be included. This segment should also include resumes and personal financial statements for each business principal.
