Business Plan Part 1

Insert Name of Your Business

Instructions:

Part 1 of your business plan consists of Sections 2, 4, 5 and 6 below, which is consistent with the readings for Module 2.

Note: The numbers are purposefully out of sequence. You will fill in the rest of the information in future modules.

1. Retain the numbers/headers.

2. DELETE ALL INSTRUCTIONS, so your business plan is not structured in question and answer format.

3. Submit YOUR OWN WORK! Do not copy/paste content from the Internet or from a pre-written b-plan. If you do, you will be at risk for plagiarism and the consequences.

4. When you incorporate outside research, be sure to reference your resources. Either the footnote method or APA (in-text and end Reference) format is required.

After receiving feedback, you will amend and incorporate these segments into your final business plan.

2. Mission Statement

Provide the purpose of the organization and identify key values.

4. Industry Profile and Overview

Examine trends, environmental factors, barriers to entry, and keys to success. 

5. Competitor Analysis

Identify and describe key competitors, including specific considerations about what will make your company different. Both present and future competitors should be evaluated.

6. Business Strategy

Identify type of company and a general overview of the business model.
