Writing a Business Plan

Your business plan should be:

A well-thought-out document stating your dream and how you plan to develop and finance it.
Primarily for you, to prove that you can reach your goals - financial, as well as, personal.
In addition, for lenders, investors, even associates to fully understand what the business is to be and how it will be done.

Our online Arizona Entrepreneur’s Edge Resource Guide (Chapter 1) (pdf) has guidelines, worksheets and resources for writing a business plan. (24)
