Hands out again. I've searched the net looking for sample business plans on soap companies so that I can at least BEGIN to put together one for my company in the event that I need to pursue financing. (Okay, that event has already happened). But I can't find anything specific to US.
For those of you who have read my posts in the past, I think we can all be crystal clear on two things: first, I'm NOT a technical person, and second, I have way more questions than answers. I can usually muddle my way through on creativity and determination alone if I'm pointed in the right direction. Everything I've read so far just serves to confuse me all the more. Demographics, psychographics, etc. Yeah. I understand the terms. I just don't know where to get the info!
In short, I have a fairly decent idea of what I need; I just don't know how to ask for it in a format that a bank will understand and make my case. Does anyone either 1) have a sample plan that worked for them in the past, or 2) or know where I might find some sort of sample plan that would be specific to our industry? Yes. I know it's a tall order.
It's a gift I have.
