How to Write a Business Plan That Attracts Funding

Description:  If you’re going to request funding, you will need a strong business plan.  The business plan tells your story and gives the reader the “Why” they should fund your vision and business operation.  It also tells the funder that you have clearly thought through and understand your business and the industry. In short, it says, “I have done my homework and I am confident I can succeed at this with your help.” You can check out these resources on Entrepreneur.com on how to write a strong business plan:
