Six Steps To A Great Business Plan

  1. Write out your basic business concept

  2. Gather all the data you can on the feasibility and the specifics of your business concept.

  3. Focus and refine your concept based on the data you have compiled

  4. Outline the specifics of your business. Using a "what, where, why, how" approach might be useful.
