Use the following template as a guide for your business report. You may delete or add other sections to this template. Create an original initial draft business report and save.

1.Title Page: Title of your report, your name, student number and your course.

2.Table of Contents: include headings, subheadings and page numbers.

3.Executive summary: Summarises your whole report, and gives your reader a clear idea of what your report says, without needing to read it. Start with the report's purpose, then give your scope, main points, and a summary of your findings and recommendations.

4.Introduction: summarises the issue or problem, its background and context, why it matters, why you're looking into it and the scope of the task. You can also introduce your approach and explain your methodology in finding and sorting data.

5.Literature Review: Some reports require extra readings on the topic. This is where you research peer-reviewed articles about the problem to let your client know what the literature says.

6.Method: Explain how you did the research. For example

Did you interview teenagers on consumer behaviour?

Did you give a survey out to 50 teenagers, and based your report on these results? Did you investigate the market trends affecting teenagers in the past 20 years?
