For many, this is a formidable task.  The consultants at the Asheville branch of SCORE want to make it easier.\nIf you have not already done so, you may find considerable benefits in attending one of SCORE’S seminars on this subject. “Great Beginnings” and “Your Business Plan” will give you many ideas.\nThis document offers a ready-made, easy-to-use format.  Under each heading, questions are asked that are intended to trigger the type of information that should be included in your Business Plan.  Every attempt has been made to make this a comprehensive tool, designed to assist in a variety of types of businesses.  Therefore, subjects may be included that are not pertinent to your business. Don’t feel you must include information simply because a heading is provided.  Delete the sections that are not relevant and if you’ve covered a topic under one heading, it isn’t necessary to repeat it under another.  However, if there are subjects that have not been included or adequately covered, add what you believe will give a fuller, more cognizant picture of your particular business. Your personal SCORE consultant can help you by reviewing what you have written and making suggestions for changes.\nIt is suggested that you begin by making a copy of this document so that you always have an “intact” version should you accidentally delete something you later find you need to include.  You can also accomplish this by copying the document on to your hard disk and preserving your information/answers by clicking on “Save As” and creating a new file.\nThe first part of a Business Plan consists of a written description of the important elements that affect your particular business.  The Appendix should include the “proof” of your assertions in the form of tables, charts and figures.\nIt is not essential to begin filling in information in the order in which it is presented.  Pick out those sections that include the information that you feel most comfortable and confident in providing. Place your cursor under the heading you are going to complete, pressed the “insert” key so the words you input won’t erase the questions you are answering, and begin typing.  After you’ve finished that section and answered all the relevant questions, delete the “directions.” (We suggest that you do not delete the questions under each heading until after you have completed each section.)  “Save” as you go along.  Eventually, you’ll be left with a clean Business Plan that is all yours.  Change the page numbers on the Table of Contents (deleting or adding sections as necessary) and the job is done.\nMicrosoft’s Word 2000 has been used so that it will be compatible with most word processing programs.  That means that you can change the typeface, size, add colors, your own logo, or whatever you want to do to personalize your business plan.\nGood luck and feel free to contact your personal SCORE consultant should you have any questions, need help, or would just appreciate some moral support.\n\u000f\n\u0001Place your logo here\nYOUR COMPANY’S NAME\nStreet Address\nCity, State, Zip\nTelephone Number\nFax Number\ne-mail address\nweb-site\n\u000f\nTable of Contents\nI.
