SCORE some quality assistance

Check out http://www.score.org for some tips, consulting and on-line workshops regarding many different aspects of small business. The one I focused on this week was at http://www.tsbc.com/sbo/score/viewLesson.aspx?Lid=204 which is their form of a step-by-step creation of a business plan. They call it a "quick start business plan" and it's not really intended to replace the longer, more thorough method described in our text. But it employs text-entry boxes, downloads and tips to guide you through the process of starting your business plan.

Though I wouldn't take this result to a group of well-heeled financiers, it certainly can help frame out the necessary steps in creating a full business plan, and may help weed out a couple of potential businesses before jumping in with too little information.

  2. I agree with both of you. As you read through the text and watch the videos provided, you realize there is so much more work involved just to get the ball rolling. This is a terrific place to start for those overwhelmed by the idea of creating their ideal business plan.
