Business Plan Part One
Well Sunday the GF came over and we got cracking on the Business Plan.
There are six main sections to a business plan according to the book “Business Plans for Dummies”. The sections are the Executive Summary, Company Overview, Business Environment, Company Description/Strategy, Action Plan and Financial Review.
Yesterday we did probably 90% of the Company Overview. There’s a small amount of cleanup work to do but we can leave that to a final draft probably. Our original goal was to try to push to do one section each day but after reading up a bit I think it’s pretty clear some sections are going to take several days of research.
I guess we’ll just push ourselves and get as much done each day as we can. I’d still like to get the site finished this week and go live this weekend if possible. We can manage to get by without a full business plan as we first start out but we really must get it finished at some point.
On the technical side I’m moving forward with getting the VDS setup. A major big thanks has to go to my friend Josetann at Arshost for setting me up with it. I’ll report on the full specs and such later but if you’re in need of any type of webhosting check Arshost out. Even if it’s something not listed on the site he will probably work something out for you personally. That’s the kind of guy he is!
