You may want to develop your business plan on-line. There are free business plan software apps available.
Doing your bizplan on the Web makes it very efficient to share the plan document with your peers, advisers, mentors and investors.

1st steps in opening a business?

We Answered:

Go to the site I listed below (Small Business Admin.) and start reading. You DO need a Business Plan, and this is a great place to start. Remember TANSTAAFL (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!) Your Business Plan is where getting the whole idea (and figuring everything out) down on paper, where yo can see it over and over again happens. Do you need Licenses? What's your competition? How much start up Capital R U going to need? How much is Rent gonna be? Gonna start "online" or in a store front? Lots and lots of questions and the Business Plan forces yo to think this stuff through. Good Luck! After you've done one, the next one'll be a whole lot easier. And remember to follow your Gut! 90 Billion others have done this, and so can you!

business plan? HOW/WHAT?

We Answered:

Your library should have books on business plans, which have great templates you can follow.

A solid business plan allows you to project earnings, estimate growth opportunities, and most important, explain your vision to anyone you might try to interest in investing in your venture.
