plan, this easy-to-use guide tells you:

weaknesses, and more
- How to expertly determine cash needs, appropriate financing

- Tailor each part of your plan to the various needs of bankers,
venture capitalists, partners, suppliers, accountants, lawyers,
customers, and other readers
- Structure and arrange the components of your plan for greatest
impact
