Business Planning
Thinking through your business idea carefully and putting together a solid business plan is essential for every entrepreneur. This is true whether or not you need to raise money to start up your business—even if you don't need to approach a bank or other lender, putting your business plan into writing is a key step in the path to success.
Despite what many people think, business plans do not need to be complicated or intimidating. To help you get started, WESST offers a business plan template and a sample business plan, both downloadable from this page. Feel free to adapt the template to suit your own unique business needs.
