I am looking to start a cigar and cigar accessories on-line business and need examples of a similar business plan to use as a template. Does anyone know of a good site hopefully free that I can find that information?
Check out the Small Business Administration. They are a wealth of information and specific information about a business plan can be found on their site at
Do a GOOGLE or Yahoo! search for “business plan” and you will find some examples there.
This site is made up of retired business professional, who offer free advice on all aspects of starting a business . They provide one-on-one help through their years of experience.
Secondly, try , which is run also free. The site is run by the Sloan brothers, who put years of expertise to your advantage. They also have great podcasts. Although they do not focus directly on your chosen business. Their information should help you out in some aspect.
Also, please take a look at these sites:
I would also conduct some surveys in order to determine which area in the cigar business or where there is a void which you could fill.
You can use this site to create free surveys.
