Want to start a business?  Need some help from an investor, mentor, advisor, or spouse?  Put together a business proposal to help them see the vision.  They need to know the Who, what where, why and how of your proposed business.

Business proposals don't need to answer every question and they certainly don't need the detail of a business plan, but they do need to focus on a few key areas of the business that all investors, partners, and stakeholders will want to hear about.
