A business plan is something created internally by the business itself. Anyone offering to write one for you is not really doing you a favor. This is going to be the road map for the operation of the business as much as it is a vehicle for finding financing, so it is personal and very much a part of the business and should be produced by its management.\n\nThe template for a business plan is available just about anywhere. You local library will have dozens of books and possibly CD ROMS that can format the actual plan. You can also buy templates on line, again use caution, investors recognize boilerplate language a mile away. So will your banker. These should be unique just like your business. Not a form letter with your firm's name in the blanks.\n\nBest of luck!

It all depends on how many features you want to demonstrate.  For the most part, just go through Word's menus and pick the most relevent commands, such as Tables vs. Excel Workbooks, mail merges, and so on...then describe them and give examples of how they work in action.  Microsoft may also hold some "demo" documents you can use, but I'm not completely sure.  Just have fun with your design, and be sure to not forget the formatting capabilities as well as the menu commands when you do your outline.  Good Luck!

Since we can't tell at what point you are in your business planning I agree with answer number two.  SCORE is a great place to get started.  I have added a few more websites if you are still looking for direction/ideas/answers.  \n\nGood Luck
