What to Include in a Business Plan Cover Page?

Parts of a Business Plan

Here are the typical sections of a business plan that you should consider including in your plan:

  1. Business Plan Cover
  2. Purpose of the Plan
  3. Table of Contents
  4. Executive Summary
  5. Description/Location of the Business
  6. Market Analysis
  7. Products and Services
  8. Organization and Management
  9. Marketing and Sales Management
  10. The Financials of the Business
  11. Appendices of Supporting Documents

A business plan cover page should the name of the business, address of the business, telephone number, fax number, email address, web site, name of owner and name and address individual or group it was submitted to.

The cover of the document can be as simple or as complex as you like; there is no hard and fast rule. Our advice is to keep is conservative and sober if it is being submitted to a bank for a loan. As your company grows in size and stature within your industry, you can add design elements to the cover page down the road.

Here is a typical layout and information for a cover page:
