A good business plan is your road map to success! At the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre, we can help you develop a business plan so your business can grow and develop. Not only will a business plan help you get up and running, but business plans are often required when applying for small business financing.

View our event calendar [link to event calendar module] for information about upcoming workshops that focus on writing and developing a successful business plan.

How to write a business plan

Download our Guide to Writing a Business Plan to learn how to write a business plan. There are a variety of different business plan formats. For example, the layout of a business can vary depending on the:

  • Type of business
  • Purpose of the plan
  • Target readership

Our guide will help you navigate the process of writing a business plan and we can amend the formatting guidelines to meet your specific business needs. Contact us if you require this guide in a different language (French, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Hindi available).
