Business plan

[holdensupporter2005]

Ok, I am starting my own business. I am starting up through a goverment funded program called NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) where they will pay my wage for up to a year, to get me going.
Problem is I have to write up a business plan for my new business. It has to be approx 250 pages long. I am stuck on the first page.

Has anyone written a business plan before that could give me some pointers, examples, tips, etc..

I've done a few in the hospitality field but 250 pages for one when it's your first business is a little extreme, theres some good sites around for learning the various sections, etc you'll need

Something like this should give you a little more start-up help

Sounds to me like a typical government scheme that makes things as difficult as possible, probably in an attempt to weed out the ones who aren't totally serious but a lot of pages for a small business

Unless you typ in like size 36...

A word per page mate you'll be right. What is your business idea mate? (Only if you don't mind sharing of course.)

Hi everyone, well today our NEIS teacher told us that it only had to be about 100 pages at the most, after telling us that it needed to be 250 pages. Seems he was trying to scare us a bit. It was a relief when he said today that it only needed to about 100 pages long, and that within the 100 pages would be any certificates, insurance quotes, and other paperwork.

anyway business that I am starting is Mobile PC Repairs.
