Business Plan Template

• A business plan is a document describing a company's core business activities and how it plans to achieve its goals.
• Businesses starting up use business plans to get off the ground and attract outside investors.
• A business plan can also be used as your guide to keep you focused on and working toward short- and long-term objectives.

This template is just a helpful guide – some of the sections may not apply to your type of business so add or remove sections to suit you. Likewise, with the tables delete or add as many rows as you like. This is your plan so go ahead and tweak it until it fits you and your business perfectly.

This template is designed to be as stress-free as possible for you to tinker with, even if you haven’t used Microsoft Word much before. So, for instance, if you delete a section, the numbering of all the remaining sections will update on their own. Also, the boxes you fill in will automatically expand as you’re typing if you need the extra space, without disturbing the rest of the table.
