A Simple Business Plan Layout

Looking for a Simple Layout for Your Business Plan?

On this page you will find a simple business plan layout for you to use when you are writing a business plan for your new business.

Most business plans follow a similar format. Below, I have listed the contents of a detailed business plan that can be adopted or modified by most small business startups.

Depending on the purpose of the business plan, you might include all of the sections (i.e., if the primary purpose is to obtain finance for the business).

Or you might leave out some of the sections and produce a more streamlined or simple business plan (i.e., where the plan is for internal management purposes).

A detailed business plan would include the following sections:

• Executive Summary
• Background
• Sales Analysis
• Market Analysis
• Competitor Analysis
• SWOT Analysis
• Objectives
• Marketing Plan
• Organization and Management
• Financial Plan
• Operational Plan
• Key Milestones and Responsibilities
• Attachments
