Attached is the outline you’ve worked on and I added some items that were missing before and others “if applicable to add to business plan” they are highlighted in red”. It seems that this instructor wants a detail explanation about competitors, financial plan, what type of business form… you will see it. I am including an outline from another student he commented that he liked the detail of his outline, and he commented he wants to see some graphics, just like if it was a business plan.
