    | Planning GuideEvery business starts with an idea. No matter what that idea is, a well thought out business plan is what helps turn that idea into a reality. The Big Idea is designed to guide you through the steps of developing and fine-tuning your business plan.It is a common misconception that business plans are written for the sole purpose of obtaining financing. The most important reason for writing a business plan should be that it is an important tool for you. A good business plan will: * Draw a clear picture of your business objectives and give you goals to shoot for * Give you a better understanding of the industry and business you are getting into * Show the potential strengths and weaknesses of your business * Give prospective investors the means to determine whether your company is a suitable investment * Give you a chronology of events and financial milestones against which you can compare your actual resultsThe Big Idea is made up of these parts: 1. The Planning Guide that outlines how to write your own business plan. 2. Examples that let you see how a well structured business plan looks upon completion.On each sample business plan, there is a link at the bottom of the page that allows you to print the full plan using Adobe Acrobat.
