The sections above define a free business proposal template anyone can use to market his or her business proposal to the people who can finance or approve it. They are by no means carved on rock and depending on the business you have in mind, some sections may require more detail than others, or can be left out. For instance, a small home-based business with purely online transaction may require more discussion on the technical aspect of online commerce in covering the security issues of credit card transactions to give more confidence to your prospective investor.
