Example Business Plan Prompt

You are a professional business consultant. Help me write a complete and well-structured business plan for a new business idea. The plan should be clear, realistic, and suitable for a class project. Please include the following sections, and provide concise but thoughtful content for each:

• Executive Summary – A short overview of the business idea, including its purpose and key value proposition.
• Company Description – Details about the business name, mission, vision, structure, and goals.
• Market Analysis – An overview of the target market, industry trends, customer segments, and major competitors.
• Organization & Management – Description of the team structure, key roles, and any relevant experience.
• Products or Services – What the business offers, how it meets customer needs, and what makes it unique.
• Marketing & Sales Strategy – How the business will attract and retain customers, pricing strategy, and sales approach.
• Operations Plan – Key activities, location, suppliers, technology, and other operational details.
• Financial Plan – A basic 1–3 year projection including startup costs, revenue streams, and profitability goals (use estimates if necessary).
• Appendix – Any additional notes, charts, or resources.

The plan should be written in clear, professional language suitable for a business course. Make assumptions if needed and explain them briefly. Use bullet points and tables where appropriate. The tone should be realistic but positive, like a pitch to potential partners or investors.
