The Smart Start Business Plan Critical Information PrimerTM is the first step in the Smart Start business planning process. It has been developed to allow the business owner/planner to identify and assess the minimum threshold of business plan information based on 50 key elements.

As a bonus, both the sample 20 page Industry Market and Competitive Research Primer and 1 Year Financial Template Primer are included at no extra charge with the purchase of the Smart Start Critical Information Primer. With the full version of these tools, you'll be on your way to researching your own business plan, lowering the cost of business plan development- while becoming an expert in your business!   

Once completed, the Critical Information Primer can be used to determine information acquired to date, as well as highlight gaps in essential business information vital to anyone who will be developing, evaluating, or implementing the business plan. 

The draft CIP Primer can also be reviewed and evaluated by a Business Plans Plus M.B.A to determine the level and quality of business information acquired to date and assist the business planner in moving the plan forward. The submitted Critical Information Primer forms the basis of the BPP service quotation for a full business plan. The more information provided, the lower the cost of the plan. It's Just Smart Business!
