Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the webpage, How to Write a Business Plan (Template): 10 Steps, 5 Tips, and Examples to Guide You (Links to an external site.).
During a discussion with your new small business client, who is just starting a business, you ask him if he has developed a business plan. He responds that he does not have time for all that formal stuff, which is a waste of time. You briefly discuss the components with him, and he agrees that there are three or four areas he could use some help with.
For this discussion forum, review the webpage, How to Write a Business Plan (Template): 10 Steps, 5 Tips, and Examples to Guide You (Links to an external site.), and select three or four areas that you think are very important when starting a new business. Discuss the components of the areas and their importance.
