How to write a business plan

Personnel Plan
Chances are that you’ll need some help to run your business. It’s hard to over-
estimate the impact employees have on small businesses. First, your paperwork explodes when you hire the first employee. Many government agencies regulate your relations with your employees, and you’ll need help if you’ve never employed anyone before.
