Professional Business Plan Layouts

I need to write a business plan in order that my bank will loan me some money?

Having never done anything like this before I wondered if there was somewhere on the internet that I could download some template/s that would make my proposal look a little more professional in terms of its layout. In addition useful phraseology that again would make my proposition appear to be more viable to a lender.

Hi there, I’ll talk from experience

First off, make sure you are ready to literally express every part of your business and what it is all about. Make it clear in your business plan who you’ll be targeting, why you are targeting that particular group and of course it’s competitors and finance margins etc. It’s very time consuming but if you’re as eager and I am you’ll embrace it with open arms. As far as terminology, presentation and format, it really depends what your business actually is. Seeing as you’ve not really mentioned that, I have found many free online templates to work on. If you’re from the UK, you can also approach Barclays Bank who’ll gladly send you a free information pack with information as to how to start and devise your business plan. Alternately you can visit Barclays link I’ve supplied below for more advice on the matter.

Also Barclays may or may not be the bank you wish to deal with its always an idea to get a prospective from there point of view. They’re been very prompt and good with me.

Make an appointment with your local tax office and explain your idea, I’ve also done this without disclosing any more information about what your proposed business – but they can give you general details about free courses to help you get started.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to get stuck in right now – so, with all the resources over the internet I’d download some sample templates and go from there. For a bit of brain storming, write down questions you believe a banker would ask you – lets say you had $ or £150,000 to invest what questions would YOU ask someone who wanted YOUR cash? Try to answer as much as you can, and find a place for your answers in your business plan.
After-all for a bank its all about investments and making money – terminology needs to be concise, clear but not blinding with science, it just needs to make sense, and presented well.

I’ve included some links and I hope they help. I could go on forever but I hope these webpages can help you.

Good luck!
