-
In 1985, thousands of would-be business owners discovered that "planning ahead" is a prerequisite for "getting ahead" in Harold McLaughlin's Building Your Business Plan. Now, this best-selling business author has revised his popular guide for the '90's in The Entrepreneur's Guide to Building a Better Business Plan. The Guide details every requirement for an effective business plan. You'll learn how to lay out information on market size and growth rate; industry pricing policies; and market analysis and competition. You'll also get valuable information on department plans, personnel requirements, and more. This revised edition also includes new chapters on nonmanufacturing businesses and revising your business plan and partnership.
In each chapter of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Building a Better Business Plan a single case study illustrates the topic under discussion, from the company charter through market analysis and financial reporting. An appendix contains actual business plans you can compare with your own. And an entire chapter recounts and analyzes business plan successes and failures. With entrepreneurship booming, the competition for financing is tougher than ever. Your business plan, like your resume, creates the first impression. It's also the blueprint that your business will follow for years to come. With more riding on your business plan than ever before, The Entrepreneur's Guide to Building a Better Business Plan helps you make the most of the document that is essential for the life and health of your business.
