"I think part of the reason that we are successful so far is that originally we didn't really want to start a business.  We were doing research at Stanford university.  Google sort of came out of that.  And we didn't even intend to build a search engine originally.  We were just interested in the Web and interested in data mining.  and then we ended up with search technology that we realized was really good.  And we built the search engine.  Then we told our friends about it and our professors.  Pretty Soon, about 10,000 people a day were using it."
Larry Page,
cofounder of Google

Look at that Restaurant business plan.  There are literally thousands of different styles of restaurants.  There are small vendors and huge convention style restaurants.  There is just no way that one sample small business plan can serve as the model for all possible restaurant business plans.

SO MIX AND MATCH

The very best advice we can give if you want to use a sample small business plan is to mix and match from all the sample business plans that we provide.

Perhaps one has a great color scheme.  Use it.

Perhaps another has a nice set of charts.  Use them.

Perhaps a third has great ideas for an introduction page.  Use it.

THE INSIDE SCOOP

One of the great secrets of professional business plan writers is that they don't look just their own category of business plan.  They look in lots of places for inspirations for style and presentation.  A business plan for credit repair may find its inspiration in a business services plan;  a graphic designer may be inspired by a business plan for a dance studio.  Look around.  Capture ideas from all over.

One of our favorite places to look isn't even in business plans.  It is in annual reports.  Companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make great annual reports.  Use the ideas that you discover there and incorporate them into a sample small business plan for your business.

FROM DAUNTING TO DO-ABLE

It seems like a daunting task: creating a successful business plan. And it can be. So we've made this as easy to use as possible. Using a sample business plan or two, your business proposal will be finished in no time, in 7 easy steps.
