One-page bios (optional)

Step 2: Identify the mission    分析任務
Identify the mission and give your company’s history, the proposed legal form the new entity will take, and a sales strategy. Provide competitor research and state your advantage over them.

Step 3: Analyze the market    分析市場情況
Analyze the market further, targeting competitors to reassure the reader that your venture anticipates every stumbling block.

Stick to who, what, why, where, when, and how, like a good reporter, to keep the information succinct and pertinent.

Describe the management team’s responsibilities and backgrounds. Outline the organizational structure, board, and ownership.

Detail operations by laying out current and future market strategies, production plans, customer support, and key personnel.

Step 6: Add a contingency     增加一個應急預案
Add a section detailing risks and provide a contingency plan. The reader needs to trust that you have thought of everything.

Step 7: Forecast scenarios     預測未來的各個環(huán)節(jié)
Forecast financial scenarios for procurement, investment returns, and cash management. Provide an exit strategy that relies on historical and financial data.

Add one-page bios with summaries of accomplishments of the founders, central players, and key management.

Step 8: Construct an appendix   創(chuàng)建一個結(jié)尾
Support the proposal with an appendix. Include additional documentation, patents, reviews, and letters of interest. Add non-compete agreements and resumes of technical principals.
