This template will guide you through the business planning process.  Notes under each section are points for you to consider and get the ball rolling.  You don't need to include every point but will need to complete each section and tailor the contents to suit your own business. A business plan helps you to set out your ideas when starting a business but don't forget to revisit every once in a while to see if you are on track or need to make changes.
