More Success StoriesSimplified Business Plan March 15th, @ Bedford Library, 3 Meetinghouse Road, Bedford, NH:
The literature is full of outlines and directions for preparation of a detailed business plan. Every business should have a business plan, but recent studies have shown that the business owner can prepare a business plan in their own language, and, if structured as a set of operational tools to help run the business, it serves them well and satisfies all other requirements while significantly simplifying the writing task.
