Help to the Executive Summary
The Executive Summary, although appearing first in the order of presentation in the Business Plan, is actually the last to be prepared, that is, after the four sections of the business plan (marketing, production, organisation & management, and finance) have been completed. It should be short (not more than two pages single space) but loaded with vital information about the project and the proponent. 1. What is the nature of the project? Briefly describe the project - the product, market, location, legal form, plan of operation and financing plan. 2. What are the entrepreneur's competencies and qualifications? Give a brief introduction of yourself as an entrepreneur, your background, your past track record, business experience and training, especially mention those skills and qualities needed by or related to the project, and how you plan to use this knowledge and skills into the business, etc. 3. What are the project's contributions to the local and national economy? Describe the important socio-economic and developmental contributions of the proposed project to the local and/or national economy. These contributions should be significant factors and priority concerns of the government, banks and society in general. These contributions may include employment generation, utilisation of local skills and materials, income generation, import substitution, export earnings, etc.
