Finally, a small business plan guide for the true novice! As a budding entrepreneur, it is vitally important that you create a plan for your business. However, sifting through the maze of products and information available to help you, can be a time-consuming nightmare - until now! 
As a Start Up Business Consultant, I've done all of the grueling work for you. Just follow my simple 1-2-3 beginner's guide. Here, I'll discuss where you can get your hands on absolutely free templates -- and even free business plan software. So, let's get started on the road to success with a well written, small business plan blueprint.

 
1-2-3 Success Guide
 
Step 1: Take a Beginner's Business Start Up Course
 
To successfully plan your new business, you need to make sure that you thoroughly understand the fundamentals of business. If you're new to entrepreneurship, consider taking a business start up course. When it comes to the all important task of starting a new business, benefit from a helping hand. Learn how to start, manage and grow a successful small business from others who have gone before you. The cost for these courses range from $99 to $1,200.
 
You do not have to spend a fortune to benefit from the wisdom of others. The US Small Business Administration offers the free online course: "Small Business Primer - Your Guide to Starting a Business". Take this valuable course absolutely free by visiting sba.gov.
 
Step 2: Take a Business Plan Writing Course
 
If you are banking on bagging a commercial start up loan, I would strongly suggest that you take a small business plan writing course. There are many online courses being offered, which take you step-by-step from start to finish. The cost ranges anywhere from $129 - $499.
 
Hold on to your checkbook! You can also take an excellent writing course, without spending a dime. Check out the free course offered online at TrumpUniversity.com.
 
Step 3: Write Your Plan
 
Don't re-invent the wheel! Once you've completed your course, take the hard work out of writing your plan by investigating business plan software. You can purchase a basic software package for as little as $99, and a professional version for $199.
 
Another option is to simply use one of the many professional, business plan templates that are available to help you get started. These templates are being sold from $19 to $199.
 
However, why pay a penny when you can get your hands on professional business plan software and templates for free?
