Go to your local bank, or to a few...they usually have packs that help you to write a business plan.

How do I write a business plan for a non-profit home for battered women. thank you?

We Answered:

While it may be difficult to find a sample business plan that matches your needs exactly, you should check out some other non-profit business plans to get an idea of the general format. Business plans in general follow the same basic outline, so any outline that you find that you like will work as a good starting point.

Here's one example:

Business Plan Pro actually includes a plan for a shelter for battered women, but that's not free.

For more free advice, contact your local SCORE office. You can find your local office by going to the SCORE web site: http://www.score.org/

Good luck!

Tracey Said:

I am preparing a start-up business proposal, what should I do on the financial section?

We Answered:

Your financials will be projections of future sales/expenses. Future Sales come directly from the Market section. Your Target Market numbers are where you will begin to estimate your 1st month sales, 2nd month sales, etc. You should make lists of: Fixed & Variable Expenses, Fixed Assets Needed, Miscellaneous Assets Needed. These amounts will then be placed in your Cash Flow spreadsheet. Also, do a Breakeven Analysis to calculate how many sales are needed each day/month or hour. Your local library will have some books in the reference section with examples. Good Luck
