Sample Business Plans

Question:
I'm looking for any sample business plans.  For starters, I don't expect to spend more than a couple hours per week at this business(very very small business).  Therefore, I don't expect to make any money for the first several months, but I would like it to be an "official" business.

If anyone has sample business plans, especially for a services type business, I'd love to see them.  I have Word 7.0, so if there in Microsoft Word format, that's OK.

Answer:
Instead of looking at sample business plans, you might want to get The Computer Consultant's Workbook by Janet Ruhl (available at Amazon.com). The real reason for doing a business plan is not to have a nice looking plan on paper, but to have a plan of action for your business activities. The business plan needs to answer a number of questions like: "Who will be my customers? How will they find out about me? What service will I sell to each one? How much will I charge for these services? How will I deal with people who don't pay right away? How many hours of service to I need to sell each week at that price to pay my bills?"

The point is that you will have to face these questions sometime during the course of your business. If you have thought about them before hand, you might have a better chance of surviving the process than when in the middle of a project and the client decides not to pay any more

or starters, I Get with the Small Business Administration and their Small Business Development center. They will take you through your plan step by step, and when you are done, you will have a very good grasp on the subject. No or nearly no cost, but your time. I think when I went there it cost me a dollar for some paper
