Intro to Business

First - my apologies for not being here for classes last week. After the weekend of zombie fighting, my husband & I decided to take an imprompteau belated honeymoon.


Second - Here is the current roster for this class (based on comments from the last lecture post). If your name does not appear, let me know. Classes are still open if anyone would like to register.

Third - Continuing from last week's lecture on Business Plans


How Long Should Your Business Plan Be?
Depending on what you're using it for, a useful business plan can be any length, from a scrawl on the back of an envelope to, in the case of an especially detailed plan describing a complex enterprise, more than 100 pages. A typical business plan runs 15 to 20 pages, but there's room for wide variation from that norm.

Much will depend on the nature of your business. If you have a simple concept, you may be able to express it in very few words. On the other hand, if you're proposing a new kind of business or even a new industry, it may require quite a bit of explanation to get the message across.

The purpose of your plan also determines its length. If you want to use your plan to seek millions of dollars in seed capital to start a risky venture, you may have to do a lot of explaining and convincing. If you're just going to use your plan for internal purposes to manage an ongoing business, a much more abbreviated version should be fine.

ooc: the old mun had plans to start a business, but that kind of fell to the wayside and the character she was to start it with has changed hands too (I believe).
