From the course: The 45-Minute Business Plan

Next steps

- I want to quickly break down some of the main takeaways of this course. First, it's important to cover all the segments mentioned previously and elaborate on the subsection categories. Our segments included executive summary, company summary, marketing analysis, industry analysis, product or service description, strategies and implementation, financial plan, and sales forecast. Putting in the time and research to chart this information is essential to attracting investors to your business, so you can raise the capital you need. As mentioned previously, I've included several resource handouts, which you can reference for tips on opening statements and infograph tables. Congratulations, you made it through the course and hopefully have a better understanding of how to prepare a business plan that truly articulates your vision. With the information provided to you in this course, you already have an advantage over other startup business owners.
