How can one write an accurate O/O business plan?

MNdriver-One day I would like to meet you. What you showed is "on target". I have two plans 95 pages!! Thanks Mike-Z

 

I had to write a business plan for a business management class way back when....


Last year, I had to write mine to get some financing with an SBA loan. Because of the business plan I wrote, it made the process that much easier. I got asked VERY FEW questions on what was going to happen.

It sits in my filing cabinet and gets looked at every quarter when I do my taxes...

 

It has raelly helped me. Money will come from the Farm Service, because they will hold prop. instead of down payment. I will be ab;e to park and service truck at the dock. Now I will be able to collect rent from other boats!! Cost will be 350.000K for 20 at 2.5.

 

that's not bad....

 

you said it "In trucking you don't know as there are too many variables."

 

A business plan can be as short as a page. It can be dozens of pages long. I would try to keep it as short as possible, but make sure you cover everything. If it is too long, it won't be utilized as much as a shorter plan. There is no need to have a long business plan in this industry. You will likely have more in financial projections than the actual plan.

 

SBA.gov its free and step by step I just did one. a lot of helpful information on there
