USS Biz Trek Activity #22: Short Business Plan

Have you ever heard the sayings, "short and sweet" or "short and to-the-point" ? Well, these are the perfect words for this business plan. Many times, when a business is just beginning, all you need is a plan that lays out the basics. As your business grows, you can always switch to the longer business plan later.
