Budgeting and Business Plans
Lesson 29.4
Business plans are an effective tool for evaluating, organizing, and selling a new business concept. A well-
developed business plan can be a key component of a successful business start-up. This assignment allows
you to demonstrate an understanding and mastery of the process required in developing and implementing
a new business venture.
Directions: Team up with one or two of your classmates (two or three students per group) to develop a
written business plan. Base your business plan on a proposed business venture or current business that
has been in operation for less than 12 months. Be sure to use the Business Plan Report Rating Sheet as a
guide while preparing your business plan.
