Moncs Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have an idea which I plan to take forward to companies in the near future (I have a meeting with one on the 18th July), they have asked me to drawy up a business plan but I have never done one before. Found a few templates and info online but just wondered if anyone in JKB land has done them and could add a few tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
