Business Plan
Appendix
The appendix section of your business plan should be provided to readers on an as-needed basis. In other words, it should not be included with the main body of the plan. Your plan is your communication tool; as such, it will be seen by a lot of people. Some of the information in the business section you will not want everyone to see, but, specific individuals (such as creditors) may want access to this information in order to make lending decisions. Therefore, it is important to have the appendix within easy reach.The appendix would include: Credit history (personal & business)
Resumes of key managers
Product pictures
Letters of reference
Details of market studies
Relevant magazine articles or book references
Licenses, permits, or patents
Legal documents
Copies of leases
Building permits
Contracts
List of business consultants, including attorney and accountantAll copies of your plan should be controlled; keep a distribution record. This will allow you to update and maintain your the plan on an as-needed basis. Remember, too, that you should include a private placement disclaimer with your plan if you are going to use it to raise capital. Back to Top
