Starting an entrepreneurial venture often requires a significant outlay of capital before the business is even operational. That capital may come from a variety of sources. A formal business plan demonstrates to potential investors that the entrepreneur has a manageable goal and the means to achieve it. The plan also keeps the entrepreneur focused on the primary goals of the business. Further, the business plan assists the entrepreneur in accounting for the interrelationship of economics, access, and quality and account for it in the business plan. In this assignment, you will draft a business plan for the venture you described previously in “Revision: Profile and Structures.”
