Dear entrepreneur,
The Nuts & Bolts Of Great Business Plans is a publication of the Entrepreneurship
Program at the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. This
guide represents the accumulated 'lessons learned' from an accomplished faculty
and staff who work every day teaching and training individuals to realize their
entrepreneurial dreams and aspirations.
As you read through the Nuts & Bolts guide, you'll see that it is offers a number of
guidelines to help navigate the processes and activities that you’ll face as you start to
pursue the creation of your own venture. The points raised in each section in the guide are
just that – a guide (not a checklist) of the types of information that you might include in
developing a comprehensive business plan. Ultimately, the success of your business will
depend on the actions that you take as you build connections with your customers
and partners. These types of connections are essential as you begin down you r path
toward starting and growing your own venture.
You have taken the first step toward realizing those goals by joining the
Entrepreneurship Program at the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse
University for help and support. We're delighted you're here, and we look forward
to working with you as you continue on your entrepreneurial journey!
All the best in your entrepreneurial endeavors,
Alexander McKelvie, Ph.D.
