		<description>This is so explanatory to some of us who just did not know anything about writing out a business plan. I think a biz plan is much needed for one who wishes to thrive in this business competitive age. 
Thnx</description>

		<description>I read another article on this site that was saying that dry cleaners and computer stores are the most likely to go out of business... likely because of all of the competition, my business is very similar in the fact that there are lots of competitors (mostly small time crafts people doing it on the side for fun) so how does one compete in such an arena?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m looking to provide an IT-based client services company in a market that already has some well-established companies within the industry. I believe that I can provide a more comprehensive service that will have a more profound impact on businesses, including government. My concern is that I am going to be competing against some strong competition and would like your advice on how to best establish myself in order to build a reputation that can take on these larger firms.

Thanks.

P.S. Great site, very useful.</description>

		<description>I would like to start a christian gift and retail business in my hometown.  There is not one anywhere close we have to drive at least 50 miles to the nearest store.  How do I get started and where do I go for resources?</description>
