Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

The group of investors who saw your presentation several weeks ago seemed impressed and believed your business had potential. However, they gave you some feedback that you needed to hear. Your presentation did not include financials, organizational structure, employee skill sets, your background and brief bios of others involved, as well as who your stakeholders are and the nature of your commitment to them from an ethical standpoint.

Using this input plus the feedback you received from your instructor on the first part of your project, complete the finished version of your business plan presentation. You will update your MS PowerPoint presentation developed in Week 3 and prepare an additional 6 – 9 PowerPoint slides to address the following:

· Financial projections

· Sources of capital

· Organizational structure

· Key roles and the bios of those filling them.

· Employee skill sets needed

· Statement of commitment to the stakeholders.

Feedback from my instructor regarding the first part of the project.

Comments: thank you for your PowerPoint Presentation.   While you have done an effective job with the talking points on your slides, you have included very limited speaker notes, which act as your "script" when presenting to an audience. Some of your slides have no speaker notes at all.  Please review the assignment directions as well as my classroom announcement regarding speaker notes.   Additionally, you have not included any cited research, as required for all assignments. You should have scholarly research with in-text citations in your speaker notes/on your slides, as well as a reference slide formatted per APA guidelines.   I enjoyed viewing your presentation.

When creating your business plan presentation, include the following:

Business Plan Part II

· Estimate of the amount of startup capital you will need, and examples of how the money will be used.           

· Projected income – how much money you intend to make over the next year, month by month.

· Sources of finances – where you intend to get your startup funds

· Functions within the business.

· Key owners/staff and brief bios to include skills and qualifications needed for the business functions.

· Ethics and social responsibility statement.

· List of references using APA format of sources you used to research the business plan. Include at least three resources one of which may be your textbook.
