Like a business plan template, a business plan outline is a framework people use to write a business plan. Again it is similar to a business plan template in that the user bases their business plan on an outline. The same drawbacks apply, as filling in blanks does not result in a compelling business plan. Using a business planning software product such as Business Plan Pro 11.0 will quickly force you to think about the content, undertake appropriate analysis and will help you to ensure the financials are robust.
