Business Plan Project | Complete Solution

Business Plan Project.  Student teams will develop and present a business plan for the creation, acquisition or expansion of a business.  The particular business idea to be developed must be approved by the instructor.  Throughout the the semester, your team will work through the process of writing the different sections of a business plan.  At the end of the semester you will combine your sections into one document and create a power point presentation of the plan.  These are to be created as though you would present them to a group of investors considering funding part of your business.  

During Unit 1, you will be asked to form your team and begin defining the business idea, expansion, acquisition, or franchise for which you plan to develop a business plan.  It is recommended that you choose a business idea that you or a fellow classmate desires to develop.  All business plans must represent a realistic business situation that could be implemented if a student, student team, or other entrepreneur chose to do so. 

For purposes of this project, there are 3 “types” of plans:

1.    A plan for the creation of a new business or acquiring a franchise.

2.    A plan for the (full or partial) acquisition of an existing business.

3.    A plan for the expansion or change of an existing business.

One-half of the business plan grade (50%) will be based on a completed written plan as produced by the team; the remaining half of the semester project grade will be based on the power point presentation, and your own team members evaluation of YOUR efforts on the project.
