Assignment 5: Business Plan – Final

Due Week 10 and worth 150 points

This assignment consists of two sections: your final business plan and your business plan financials. Note: You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment.

You have completed all the necessary sections of your business plan and will now create a final draft. Use any/all feedback you have received to polish your plan to the point that you could confidently show it to investors and potential partners or customers.

Refer to the outline of a business plan, beginning on page 399 of the course text. Not all businesses will include all these components in this order, but use the outline as a guide. Specifically, your plan will not require the development, milestones, and exit plan sections of the business plan.

Section 1: Business Plan – Final (MS Word or equivalent)

1. Construct a 10–30-page business plan. Note: Twentypages are sufficient for most businesses.

• Write a 1–3-page executive summary for your business plan, in which you justify the following:
  • A clear and concise business concept
  • A thoroughly planned business concept
  • A capable management structure
  • A clear-cut market need
  • Significant competitive advantages for your business
  • Realistic financial projections
  • That investors have an excellent chance to make money
  • A realistic and developed exit plan

Note:Read Chapters 4 and 18 of the course text,Successful Business Plan. Use the plan preparation worksheets on pages 58–61 and the sample executive summaries on pages 62–66 to help guide you; choose to write either a synopsis summary or a narrative summary and include highlights from each section of your business plan.

2. Combine all the sections stated below and revise your initial business plan draft, which you submitted in Week 8, based on feedback you have received.
