No problem!
The first thing that you need to know about a business plan is that is an ever evolving part of your business and you are going to want to do the basis right because it will be the foundation for your business as well as a starting point if you want to find any sort of financing.
The parts of a business plan are as follows:
1. Executive Summary
2. Company Description
3. Products and Services
4. Market Analysis
5. Sales Strategy and Implementation
6. Web Plan Summary
7. Management Team Summary
8. Financial Analysis
Tables and Charts
1. Sales Forecast
2. Profit/ Loss Statements
3. Personnel Listings
4. Projected Balance Sheets
5. Projected Business Ratios
6. Market Analysis Tables
Obviously you aren't going to have all of the details for all of these sections at once (certain sections may not apply to your business) and you don't need to start writing it in any particular order. When you do write it though you are going to have to elaborate on every part becuase it will be a huge part of obtaining investment if necessary.
It may seem like a lot to take in but it is something you will figure out either on your own or with some outside assistance. If you do need some assistance other than the basics I specialize in doing all of the back work of starting your business so that you don't have to. When you're ready I also research the best types of investment for your company and how to obtain them. Let me know if you need anything else!
