Hi Ivory,

I have considerable experience in business (26 years plus), sarting, buying & selling my own businesses. One of the businesses I bought, built up and sold was a trucking company. It is always a good idea to get your business idea or plan down on paper. Its especially important for start-ups that may be looking for funding or investors at some point. In general Business Plans are made up of the following:

Executive Summary
Market Opportunity
Vision, Mission, & Objectives
Management
Business Strategy
Competition
Risk
Financial Plan
Capital Requirements
Summary

From my experience helping with business plans; they fall into 3 categories of use:

Internal Planning: Business Formation & Development
Internal Planning and presentation to close contacts that might want to invest in their business.
Internal Planning, close contacts presentation and presentation to experienced investors and/or sources of funding for the business.

Feel free to email me at DLowery@AdducentInc.com ... I don't mind to take a look at your business plan and give you some feedback on your plan.
