Simple Business Plan Workbook

Overview

Most business plan templates assume you already know what to write. This workbook does not. Each section explains what it is for, shows a filled-in example, and gives you guided prompts to write your own version. By the last page you have a complete, realistic plan you can share with a bank, a partner, or just use to run your business.

• Guided business plan workbook (46 pages)
• Filled-in example plan for a sample business
• One-page plan summary template

Who it is for

• Side-project builders deciding whether to go full time
• Existing owners who want a clear plan on paper at last
