    I have not looked into getting funding before so have never done a full business plan I just judge it on how much profits it makes. I consider funding as debt on the company and in a way it functions in a similar way.

      Phil, you are dead on.  Most companies never need funding.  There are so many more reasons to do a business plan though!  Just going through the process of creating the document will give you insights into your business that are well worth the effort.

    speaking of funding… I downloaded the business plan template and have filled out all the mission statement and core competencies and iv got that all under control. However im stuck at the market research I need the secondary Research data however i can only find it available from big market research companies offering private company data  of which i cant afford.  im intending to start a street wear clothing lable if that helps. does any one have any suggestions where i can get data on the market share and so on I would really appreciate it.

      What are you having trouble with?  The links in this post are not downloads, but links to other content.  The episode link works if you are trying to download that, and the links for the Bplan templates are sent when you sign up to the newsletter.

      Cheers!

    Nice stuff you have here. but my concern is how to raise the fund for the startup business, can you give a link on viable VC or better still any funding link?

    Hi Ian,

    Many thanks for the start up documents, they mean to me a firm, dedicated and professional way of looking into my own business requirements. I have always been in need of some basic tools which will give my thoughts wings to fly. I have found them through you.

    Thank you once again..
