A business plan is a roadmap to success and a tool to access funding from lenders or investors. It is the starting point for many new business ventures and helps capture all of your businesses research, assumptions and action plans in one comprehensive document. Knowing where to begin and what tools are available to support you is critical. 

Our small business advisors are available to help you understand what a business plan is and how you can prepare one to meet your needs. The SBEC has templates, worksheets, and business plan examples to help guide you through the business plan writing process. An advisor can provide ongoing support and constructive feedback as you work towards completing a strong, actionable business plan.
