Business Plans 101- Free 10 Step Business Plan Tutorial Online

So what's the plan?

Not everyone has one, and quite possibly, not everyone needs one. But there is this thing out there actually called a business plan.

What do you do if you need one?

If you are looking for a clue on how to approach the task of writing a business plan, try visiting the Startup Journal online. In their toolkit, they have a section on business plans. You will need to register so that you can save your information, but registration is free.

Once inside, you'll be able to actually use the resources there to create a mini-plan for no charge. You'll find a basic business plan is broken down into sections where you can complete each task at your own pace.

Check it out- you'll find topics like:

Executive summary
Objectives
Mission
Keys to Success
Market Analysis text
Market Analysis table
Market Analysis charts
Break-Even tables
Break-Even charts
Conclusion or assessment

There's also a large library of sample business plans, and even a start up cost calculator.

This is a great resource for any entrepreneur, and it's priced right too!
