I am looking to start a business soon. I have the proto type built and ready to go into production. I will set up as a LLC. I am the only employee of the company. I know the cost of my product and how much I need to sell it for. I think I have most of my T's crossed. When I look over a business plan, some of the questions just don't seem to apply. I will be selling one item that I created to retails stores. Maybe if I were opening a B/M business then a business plan might be more neccesary. Can a business plan sometimes be overkill for a one man start up?
