Cover Page
How complicated can a cover page of a business plan be? Well, you
might be surprised at how many business owners leave crucial
information off of cover pages. Lenders report that they
frequently have to call directory assistance to locate an
entrepreneur who forgot to include a phone number and other
contact information on their business plan.
The purpose of a cover page is to tell the reader what he or
she is about to read and how to reach the writer. Your cover page is also a way to
get your business plan noticed. Lenders see dozens, if not more,
business plans a week and something as simple as putting your
cover page on quality stock paper, may catch their eye.
Your cover page should say the words "Business Plan," and should include your:
- name and business name
- company logo
- address
- telephone number
- fax number
- E-mail address
The date should also appear on your cover page. Use the cover
page worksheet to make sure you remember to include everything.
