Hello, does anyone have any advise on how to do a business plan?

I've made up my mind on starting my own child care business. I was told I need to present a business plan to apply for a loan. I have no idea how to start the business plan?!

Hello, does anyone have any advise on how to do a business plan?

I would talk to a business counselor before doing anything especially spending money. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE.

The counselor at SCORE will most likely help you to write a business plan which will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a child care business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the subscribers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.

You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.

You have to assess what you have and what you will ned to perform the business functions and justify that you will see profits (ROI) to the lender. I assume they are asking for equity as well.
