business plan

can anyone help me write a business plan out..? i want to start a petstore.... and want to write out a practice business plan but dont know how.. thanks...

I would go to your local library and get general books about opening such a business in your area/state as there are lots of laws and stuff that have to be met first before one can start really planning. You'll need certain licenses and maybe even education. They might have plans already written out too.

Skittles, google "business plan for pet store" and see all the things that come up!

Skittles, there are also business grants that women can apply for. I've done it, but it's really been a hassle.

DON'T pay exorbitant fees for the paperwork, though! One place that I talked to wants $295 for showing you how to fill out their forms!

Another place I sent away for a CD but my 'puter won't open it. I think customer service is in China, too. No lie! Hard to understand what they're saying and worse, almost impossible to make yourself understood!

In the long run, you do pay for these "free" grants.

If I ever get onto their site or get the CD to work, I'll give you as much info as I can.

Good luck with your endeavor.

thanks this is my dream.. but its gonna take alot of work ..

The small business administration and some womans orgainizations will help you find and fill out forms. They will also help point you in the right direction if they can't help you. Good luck Skittles.
