It seems like a daunting task: creating a business plan
for an SBA loan. And
it can be. So I've made this as easy to use as possible.
Your plan will be finished in no time, in 7 easy steps.
EASY! Don't worry about learning any
new programs to create your restaurant business plan. You will use the programs that you already use every
day: MS Word and MS Excel. The templates, both for the text
and for the financials, are set up so that all you have to do is enter
your personal information.
EASY FINANCIALS! The Excel
template is set up so that all you do is enter the data for your
business. All columns are added automatically. It even
creates a chart automatically!
EASY FORMATTING! Your headers and
text and columns are all set up for your restaurant business plan. The formatting flows right in.
Easy peasy.
EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. The
ebook that you will receive takes you step by step through building your
restaurant business plan. There just isn't an easier way to do it. For
example:
A dynamic restaurant team:
List your top 3-4
people here. Be sure to include your chef and your chief executive
officer.
LOTS OF SAMPLES! Sometimes it
really helps to see how other successful business plans were written.
So I have included lots of examples, such as

Here's the Technical Information for Your 7
Step Restaurant Business Plan Template:
You will receive 3 separate files.
They will all be in ONE downloadable, zip file. The three files
you will receive are:
~ A Microsoft Word file. This
is the actual template that you will use for the text of your
restaurant business plan. You can change it, switch it, mess it
up, or use it just as it is. Use all the formatting tools in MS
Word that you already know. 16 pages
~ A Microsoft Excel file. This
is the actual set of financial summaries that you will use in your
business plan. You can add, delete, mess it up -- or format it
-- with all the tools in MS Excel.
~ A pdf file. I hesitate
to call it an "instruction book", but it is stuffed with all the
information you need to create a dynamic business plan, rapidly and
easily. 70+ pages
I have spent decades writing all
manner of business plans. I know there is a hard way, and an easy
way. This is the easy way. Spend your time creating a great
written plan for your business, not learning new programs.
Your restaurant business plan will come
together quickly with all the resources that I have included -- lots of
organizations, websites and business plan samples. All in one
place.
I wish we could sit at your elbow and
help each and every one of you. But since that isn't possible,
this is a pretty darn good option.
p.s. --
Yes, lots of follow up!!

How To Write Business Plans.
I will be delighted to help, as will dozens of others.
