The table of contents identifies the "titles" of each section within your business plan. This allows the reader easy and fast access to major sections and subsections through page numbering.
The structure of the table of contents varies depending upon the business
venture. The following "Main Headings", however, are generally
identified:
| The Executive Summary |
| The Mission and Strategy Statements |
| Management and Human Resources |
| Marketing & Promotions |
| Operations of the Business |
| Financial Plan |
| Conclusion |
| Appendices and Supporting Data |
Please Note:
The Table of Contents is generally the final item completed in the business plan.
Each main heading should have sub-sections and each sub-section should
have page numbers. This will provide direction to specific issues outlined
in your business plan. See examples below for details.
