Default Business Plan

Met with the SBA last night and have a couple of local promising leads,(helps when you put your wife's name as the business owner...) but I need to get my business plan together. I did this once before but the computer I had it on crashed. I'm working on one today that is a template.
Just wondering if any of you have a business plan you would like to share that would help give me an idea of things to cover, include or would help in preparing and presenting this to financial institutions. Thanks for your help and comments in advance.

I have done 3 business plans in my life. One was fully funded by Bank of America for the expansion of a friend's business.

The other two were non-for profits that were partialy funded.

They are alot of work. I have a great book to right them, I will to find it and send you the information. It came with a CD that really helped with the format.

Ok - could not find that book! Wife did spring cleaning last year and my books got boxed.

Here is a link to the Missouri website on getting a business plan. I am sure Colorado has a small business organization that will help you.

Also here at the University in the business school there is an outreach program that helps small business try University of Colorado.
