Default Re: Biz plan

I used the sames program to write my business plan, which ended up being around 50-60 pages. Hopefully you found out that even though you and your wife have degrees in business and marketing, there are tools out there that allow you to do things much faster. The formatting is already there and all you do is plug in the info and numbers and your financials are created. I purchased several reports, two of them from Impressions Magazine. They do a very complete market survey of the decorated apparel industry for embroidery and screen printing for low-volume, medium-volume and high-volume companies. They are fairly large reports but I think I still have them on my computer if anyone wants a copy. I have an MBA, and if there's one thing I learned, get someone else do most of the work for you and then take the credit for it. I mean, get software to do most of the work for you.

Default Re: Biz plan

What I sent out was a sample plan that came with the software.

The software itself lets you input the data required, and puts in a business plan format for you.

It tells you everything you need for your plan, and gives instructions on why you need it and also some helpful tips along the way.

It's pretty good for the money. I think it's around $50-$75.

Greg,

Good morning. I keep reading this thread not knowing if you've gotten any of my messages as I haven't heard back from you. If there is any way you could help me out with that sample plan that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Best,

Craig

Sorry about that. I'm having some serious email problems with Comcast!

They have decided to block port 25, in their infinite wisdom, and I can't send any emails!!!!

And they won't unblock it!!!!!!!!

I'll get it to everybody that has requested, though. (maybe Rodney should just have a place for me to upload it, since so many people want it!)

Sorry about that. I will try to get you some stuff in the next couple days. I'll try and get the sample plan along with industry reports.

There seem to be a lot of Greg's posting a lot of posts. I think I'm going to change my name on my profile so I know when someone is speaking to me. How does Dirk Diggler sound for a new, forum name.

You could upload it to one of those free file sharing websites. Or if it's less than 97.7k the forum allows you to attach 97.7k zip files to posts.

I was wondering why you didn't just upload it as an attachment to your message instead of doing the PM thing Couldn't you zip it up and upload it? If not, let me know and I can make it work

Default Re: Biz plan

Here we go!

Also, some extra notes:

The plan is done for a screen printing company based in Montana called, "The T-Shirt Co."! It is not real for those of you wondering.

Even though it is for a screen printing company, you will get a great example of what's needed for a plan and how it all fits together.

It was not in a business plan format per se, but all of the info for every section you need is there. Since it wasn't formatted, I had to save each section as a different "WORD" document, so it would be clear.

Just open up the document entitled "Intro & Executive Summary" and you will see the order that the rest of the documents need to be in.
