Executive Summary


Like most daunting projects, drafting a business plan is best done step by step. While plans vary as much as businesses do, here's a summary of the seven main sections of a business plan and what each should include.

1. Executive Summary

The first section should be a concise overview of your business plan. It should be short, and must be well written. Your goal is to draw readers in so they want to learn more about your company.

Though this section appears first, consider writing it last, after you've worked out the details of your plan and can summarize your thoughts succinctly and accurately.

The executive summary for a business plan should include:

  • Your business name and location
  • Products and/or services offered
  • Mission and vision statements
  • The specific purpose of the plan (to secure investors, set strategies, etc.)
