Beware of "sample" or "generic" type of business plans advertised on the Internet or as provided by some suppliers and Franchisors that want to help Entrepreneurs in the funding process. They are far too general and by making any changes to the names/ numbers / information provided by someone is not always a good idea.
The overall structure of a business plan's narrative and logic depends solely on the writer himself. If you are unsure regarding the feasibility of your project, your start up expenses and financial statements / projections, you will need expert assistance from professional, experienced, and qualified business plan consultants. If you do not understand what you're doing with the project/business, business plan software will only enable you to write quicker but will not have an impact on the success of your launch or boost the odds of raising any funding.

In light of the country's record - high unemployment rate, it is evident that small businesses play a crucial role in job creation. By providing millions of South Africans with the means to support their families, small businesses therefore contribute to the alleviation of poverty.
