Writing Tips for a Protocol Instruction Company Business Plan
We know - writing a business plan can be a daunting task for a new entrepreneur.

When you compose a business plan, you formally document the rationale behind your entrepreneurial vision. The information in your plan (and your rationale) are essential for lenders, investors and other people who have a stake in your company.

Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a protocol instruction business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
