Assignment:
The goal of the final project for this course is to develop a business idea into an original business plan. To complete the business plan due in Week Five, you will be assigned a part of the process. Work on each part as assigned each week.
The business plan should represent the merits of a business venture in a real business environment. As you prepare your business plan, ask yourself these questions:
• Does this business plan do justice to my dreams and goals of owning a business?
• If I saw this business plan presented by someone else, would I be interested and eager to participate and invest in the project?
