Any tips for writing a business report?

We Answered:

Well, obviously, I have no idea what the report is about so I'm assuming you need help with the layout/ presentation?

First is that a business report differs from most written works as they have headings separating the sections of the report. Often, these headings are numbered.

A report will include a title page, table of contents, executive summary, recommendations, list of references (or bibliography), appendices (if necessary) as well as the introduction, body of the report, and the conclusion. Sometimes also included is a letter of transmittal and a glossary (however these are not often used).

The general layout for a report according to Summers and Smith (2006):

Letter of transmittal (not often used)
Title page
Executive summary
Table of contents
Introduction
The body of the report
Conclusions
Recommendations
List of References
Glossary (not often required)
Appendices

If you are numbering your headings, start no.1 with the introduction and number through to the recommendations. Headings outside of these areas in the report do not need to be numbered. Each section of the body of the report will also have a heading number, possibly with sub-headings, for example your table of contents may look like the following:

Table of Contents Page
Executive Summary i
1. Introduction 1
1.1 Authorisation 1
1.2 Limitations 1
1.3 Scope of the report 1
2. The current situation 2
2.1 Basis for operations 2
2.1.1 Organisational structure 3
2.1.2 Operations code 5
2.2 Sales department 6
3. Planned development
4. Conclusions
5. Recommendations
List of references
Appendices
Appendix 1 -- The organisational chart
Appendix 2 -- Competitor analysis
List of tables
Table 1 -- the financial structure

Hope this helps!

Tips in writing a business plan/propsal for an existing Tanning Salon?

We Answered:

Hire a lawyer. You need to put this into an LLC or other structure to protect yourself and your family from potential liability. Someday, someone that went to your salon is going to get skin cancer. That person is then going to come looking for YOU. You need WAY more than a business plan and a loan... you need a counselor. This is a really lousy business to be investing in right now. The insurance you need today will more than wipe out any profits you may be able to earn. You can easily screw up the rest of your life. Go get some education instead... your boss isn't selling this to you because he/she likes you. He/She is selling it because it is a crappy business. Period.
