Business Plan
A business plan is a way of demonstrating that you understand the opportunities for the business, you have worked out how it will generate income and make sales, and you are realistic about plans to run and develop it.

So – beyond ensuring that it’s organised in a way that makes it easy for others to read and understand, and there are no spelling errors (what does it say about attention to detail if you haven’t used spellcheck!) – the content is much more important than the design.
