Business Plan Project<\/p>\n
Goal:<\/p>\n
Using all of your chapter assignments from this class, the goal of this assignment is for you to develop a written business plan for your current\/proposed business. I have also attached all of the business planning worksheets that I used in BUSM 1640. They pertain to location, IP protection, legal structure etc. and may be helpful with your planning and writing. <\/p>\n
NOTE:\u00a0 We have covered all of the below in the chapter assignments.\u00a0 Please do not do a simple “cut and paste” from all of you assignments, as there may be duplicate information.\u00a0 Your final product should be clear and concise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have given you two sample plans, so that you can see their formatting.\u00a0 Note\u00a0that the samples do not include all of the content that is requested in your plan.\u00a0\u00a0Professional formatting is VERY important in the plan.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
