Your graphic design business plan will set you apart from the dozens of other graphic design businesses . You might be an advertising agency or a web designer or commercial artist ... or any number of other types of creative business.
A few years ago I received a business plan from an art dealer in a major city. This business plan was easily two inches thick, single spaced tight typing. All black and white. Plain. And not a single picture in sight. Not a single graphic element in the whole business plan. I still cringe when I think of it. Here this guy had some of the top talent in the west coast at his beck and call, and he didn't use any of them.
For goodness sakes, you can do better than that without reading a word about graphic design business plans!
So first, yes, show off your graphic design ability. Show it off too with work you have done for clients, lots of photos, etc. Let the banker get to know what you can do.
Quite honestly, we don't expect that you will use the business plan template that is included in the business plan software set below. That template was designed for those without your graphic skills.
But odds are pretty good you will find material in the handbook and in the financials that will come in very handy.
