The Title Page and Executive Summary
Congratulations on your decision to develop your business plan! I am excited to finally kick off the Business Plan Development Series.
This week we’ll be addressing the Title Page and the Executive Summary.
If you are interested in joining a conference call focused on answering your questions relative to the current business plan sections, please send an email to Sheri@ThePPGinc.com.
This is the perfect time to develop your plan as it is the basis for your long range goals, which should support your 2008 goals and strategy. Please contact me if I can support you in developing your goals, strategy, or action plan.
I wish you the best of success!
Title Page
The Title Page of your Business Plan should be developed in a style similar to the one I have provided. Be sure to insert the "Disclaimer" at the bottom.

Executive Summary
If you are developing this Plan for your internal organizational purposes, concentrate on gaps, weaknesses, and challenges so that you can develop resources and strategy that overcome those challenges; ultimately resulting in a plan that guarantees success.
If this Plan will be used to raise money, be sure to develop a compelling Executive Summary and within the Management and Organization worksheet, thoroughly focus on the background of each person on your management the team. This is the most important part of your Business Plan.
The Executive Summary is the first impression your reader will get of your company. Because most readers will scan through it, it must make an impact if you want them to continue reading.
By completing each of the worksheets within the business plan document prior to completing the Executive Summary, you will have all of the components required for the development of a compelling Executive Summary.
Although the Executive Summary will be completed last, you will want to download the "Executive Summary" worksheet so that as you develop the other sections of your plan you'll have an idea of what you'll need to summarize for the Executive Summary section.
Feel free to email with any questions. Until next week!
