Creating the Business Plan(Organizing the structure of the business)
The Business Plan format used in this unit closely follows the “DECA Entrepreneurship Participating” event. It is a 10-page business prospectus, and can be easily completed by students. This format contains all the common components of a business plan, however some parts are combined to shorten the document.
It’s advised for teachers/students to get a copy of this format on the DECA or USOE website. (http://www.deca.org/pdf/ENPI-ENPFguide.pdf)
Students, however, are not required to use this format. Other formats are available from FBLA, DECA, the USOE website, or on the internet.
