Help with Business Plan
I am putting together my business plan for a catering business and need some help.
I have heard that BBQ and BBQ catering is a growing business. Also I have heard that there is a desire for on site cooking is growing in popularity over just delivering pre-cooked items. If any one can send me links to articles or any other king of information I would like to supply justification for some statements that I will be putting into my business plan. Thank you, Steven |

Do a quick search of "business plan" in our Forum search and you'll find quite a few discussions. Or, go while in this section "Catering and Cooking for the masses" just navigate back to the early pages of threads...several threads/discussions will jump out at ya.
Good luck.

Steven,
I did a quick search, and I think this article points towards exactly what you are looking for. http://www.rimag.com/article/CA6620840.html During these tough economic times, people still want good food made by other people, but might not have the money to pay for all the bells ans whistles of a restaurant experience. I have education and experience putting together business plans. Let me know if you have any more questions. ~Ryan

Ryan,
A broad basic primer of what a business plan should be and include might benefit the entire brotherhood. I seem to see too many people who thing a biz plan is a static document with no life. This seems to be especially true of first time entrepreneurs. Even suggestions for guidance resources would be an invaluable thing.
