Table of Contents of Your Business Plan
The table of contents identifies the "titles" of each section within your business plan. This allows the reader easy and fast access to major sections and subsections through page numbering.
The structure of the table of contents varies depending upon the business venture. The following "Main Headings", however, are generally identified:
The Executive Summary |
The Mission and Strategy Statements |
Management and Human Resources |
Marketing & Promotions |
Operations of the Business |
The Financial Plan |
Conclusion |
Appendices and Supporting Data |
Please Note:
The Table of Contents is generally the final item completed in the business plan.
Each main heading should have sub-sections and each sub-section should have page numbers. This will provide direction to specific issues outlined in your business plan. See examples below for details.
