What I would like you to do is to develop and write a Small Business Plan. If you own or work for a small business and want to use it, that would be great. If not, please use your imaginations and create your own small business. Your plan should consist of: Executive Summary Company Description Organization & Management Service or Product Line Funding Request Financial Projections Each section should have a minimum of 100 words. I have given a brief description of what each section should consist of and contain below. Each section is worth 10 points each for a total of 60 points. Please submit your final document in either Word Format or PDF. I have included a grading rubric. Executive summary Briefly tell what your company is and why it will be successful. Include your mission statement, your product or service, and basic information about your company's leadership team, employees, and location. You should also include financial information and high-level growth plans if you plan to ask for financing.
