I have one of the Matthew Lesko books, and see some possibiliites for small business grants. They all ask for a formal business plan in order to apply. I have everything set up in my head, but don’t know the format to write one.

Create a video blog…instantly.

    If you want someone or some organization to fund you a business plan is in order. Start writing all your ideas down, and the talk with a business planner at a bank. There are also web-sites that can help. Good luck.

    You can go to the SCORE web site and get some guidance.

    Ther are some good templates on the internet available for a small fee or you can use a consultant. I have done many for businesses and it is the critical part since this will be viewed as how well you are going to run a business.. a good organized business plan with realistic goals is golden with lenders.

    There is the Small Business Administration. It is a resource for small business owners. They will help you get started and work you through writing a business plan. Keep in mind though, they won’t write it for you. If you are near a university or college, see if they are offering an entrepreneurship class. This class will help someone like you who isn’t studying business or going to college.
