Intro to Business Planning and Access to Capital

Starting a new, or growing an existing, business requires thought and planning to make sure you reach your goals. A well thought out business plan helps you think objectively about the key elements of your business venture and informs your decision-making on a regular basis. There are several different business plan forms you can use, depending upon your goals and whether you plan to share it with anyone, such as an investor or lender.
