No matter what business you plan to start in your next entrepreneurial exertion you need to be mental about writing a business plan. Even if you are not seeking funding for your new business or already have secured funds from family members, angel investor types, personal savings or partners. A business plan helps you start out on the right foot and makes you think about your future strategies. One important thing you need in a business plan is a table of contents that you can use as a guide, as you go through the hectic and tedious steps to start your new business. There are a myriad of rules, regulations and inane paper work and you must stay focused at all times.
It is recommended that you go and buy yourself a book on "how to write a business plan" and try to find one, which has a sample business plan which is most similar to your business model inside. Below is a sample Table of Contents that you can use to help you, so A.) you do not forget any important items and B.) as a template to help you generate your own table of contents. I suggest you print this description and then take the table of contents and modify it to fit your business model.

Now then, below is a table of contents, which we had used in a business for a movable car wash company. Go ahead and look it over and see if this is something you believe can sustain you.
