    The most important part of your business plan is your Executive Summary. As the client services manager at a technology based incubator I help small business owners in a number of ways including business planning and small business loan applications. In an effort to help those clients I have created a blog that is devoted to business planning and even more specifically how to write a Powerful Executive Summary.

    As you finish up your business plan make sure to check out www.theexecutiveplan.com and www.squidoo.com/how-to-write-an-executive-summary

    Good Luck!
