Business Plan Template for a Startup Business
Business Plan Template for a Startup Business
A startup business plan serves several purposes. It can help convince investors or lenders to finance your business. It can persuade partners or key employees to join your company. Most importantly, it serves as a roadmap guiding the launch and growth of your new business.
Writing a business plan is an opportunity to carefully think through every step of starting your company so you can prepare for success. This is your chance to discover any weaknesses in your business idea, identify opportunities you may not have considered, and plan how you will deal with challenges that are likely to arise. Be honest with yourself as you work through your business plan. Don’t gloss over potential problems; instead, figure out solutions.
A good business plan is clear and concise. A person outside of your industry should be able to understand it. Avoid overusing industry jargon or terminology.
Most of the time involved in writing your plan should be spent researching and thinking. Make sure to document your research, including the sources of any information you include.
Avoid making unsubstantiated claims or sweeping statements. Investors, lenders and others reading your plan will want to see realistic projections and expect your assumptions to be supported with facts.
This template includes instructions for each section of the business plan, followed by corresponding fillable worksheet/s.
The last section in the instructions, “Refining Your Plan,” explains ways you may need to modify your plan for specific purposes, such as getting a bank loan, or for specific industries, such as retail.
Proofread your completed plan (or have someone proofread it for you) to make sure it’s free of spelling and grammatical errors and that all figures are accurate.

SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT
Discussion
Discussion : For this discussion, we are going to look at the validity of the police checkpoint and due process rights. Presently, police agencies utilize the checkpoint as a tool of aggressive patrolling. Checkpoints require a motorist to enter and submit to an investigative process, looking for a violation of law both obvious and unknown (wanted on warrant for example). Violations may include intoxicated drivers, seatbelt violations and other driving and equipment/registration violations. Officers are required to follow a strict protocol on the way they employ the checkpoint, and minimize the stress and discomfort to the parties in the vehicle, as well as following the legal mandates. But, is the checkpoint a violation of the due process protections? Do they violate Search and Seizure requirements of the Fourth Amendment? This is what you will discuss in your response. Make sure to defend your position by referencing the different components of searches and seizures; When are warrants necessary, the Exclusionary Rule, Exigent circumstances, and so on. Refer to the legal components outlined in Ch. 5 in your response.

DETAILED ASSIGNMENT
Crim 113-Criminal Investigations
Crim 113-Criminal Investigations
For this assignment, students will begin by reading on pp. 27 and 28, the Introduction, and pp. 53 and 54 in the textbook the section titled Criminal Investigation in Practice. This reading refers to the infamous O.J Simpson case. The Criminal Investigation in Practice identifies areas in the OJ case that investigators left opportunity for the Defense to create doubt in the guilt of Simpson. To many, doubt was not in question; however, the questionable nature of evidence located, identified and collected at the scene left room for accumulated doubt, and the Jury felt this was enough to acquit. Make notes on what points of contention were raised as to the actions of the investigators, and the evidence lost as a result.
After reading this, the student will do a little online searching for cases that have been lost due to the loss of evidence from poorly processed initial investigations. You will find three cases of your choice to gather information on. Read about the case, and identify the issues of evidence that were brought up during the trial. For each case, you will create a chart (your choice on style) to record the information). Record the following information from the case:
-
The name of the case (State Name vs Defendant’s Name)
-
Type of offense and Location of offense
-
Date and Time of case
-
Basic Summary of the case
Once this background information has been gathered, you will then list piece(s) of evidence that were challenged in court or not admissible in court, and cost the Prosecution a guilty verdict. Once identified, explain why each piece of evidence, in your opinion, was not admissible, and what the investigating officer could have done differently to have the evidence successfully admitted in court. This will take some time to read cases to see these issues. You can use ANY case you choose except for the Simpson case (use it as a sample for what to look for).
