INVenture is an interactive tool that helps you write your business plan in steps. Each step has topics that correspond to parts of a business plan. For each topic there are questions you should answer in the boxes provided. Remember that your words will become your business plan, so use complete sentences.

Use the Next and Previous buttons to go from screen to screen (do not use your Internet browser's navigation buttons ("forward" and "back"), or click on the question you would like to answer on this page. At the end of each stage an assessment helps you review what you’ve written. If you are confident your answers for the stage are complete, then go to the next stage.
