Appendices to Your Business Plan

You're almost done!

The main sections of your business plan should be relatively short and provide just the information necessary for banks or investors to make informed decisions.

It is in the appendices, though, where you put all your supporting materials -- both for your benefits, as well as for those folks who want to see more of the hard data. Remember to only include materials that are relevant to your business plan.

What are the types of things you might put in your business plan appendices?

Resumes of key personnel
Detailed organizational chart
Legal documents
Letters of reference
Personal financial statements and credit reports of founders
Pictures of products, locations, etc.
Mortgage or lease papers on all facilities
Map of location(s) and trading area, including competitors
Blueprints and floor plans of facilities
Samples of marketing materials
Details of the manufacturing process and machinery
Market and competitive analyses
Any other supporting documents
