Using an empty business plan
Sometimes you don't want to use any business plan template or sample business plans. You may want to start it from scratch. It could be possible that existing outlines don't fit your need. If you're not sure and want to use an empty business plan, don't worry too much about it. Just start by creating your own outline. As you do, you may think of other details to add that would help describe the company you're starting. You can add these to your plan at any time.
Keep in mind that the basic information in most business plans is quite similar. You'll need to explain how your company is solving a problem and who your target market is. You'll need to explain how you'll be distinct from your competitors. You'll need to build a forecast. All of that is the same in any industry.
