You will need to access the Live Plan app that is included with your textbook.

Before building the plan, please watch the following three short videos at the top of the page, which explain how to use key sections of the template:

Plan

Forecast

Schedule

You will begin to fill out each of the five sections of the business plan, which are broken into subsections. The template describes what information should be included in each subsection. However, although you will provide information for each of the five sections, it is not critical to provide information for each subsection because some subsections may not apply to your product or business. Please address those areas that do apply.

Your business plan will be graded based on information provided in the following five areas, which are included in the electronic template:

Executive Summary

Opportunity

Execution

Company

Financial Planning

After completing and reviewing each section, download the final document as a PDF and submit your business plan through Canvas.
