This project will require a substantial amount of research effort in planning for the new business.  You will need to develop cost estimates for personnel, plan basic resource allocation, coordinate facilities/equipment/other resources, and any services needed.  You will need to determine realistic time frames and duration estimates for the various start-up activities.  Some of this information may be available from the Internet, while you may need to contact vendors, industry associations, or other organisations for other information.  (Best guess estimates may be used for some costs if no other cost information is easily obtainable, but these estimates should be as realistic as possible. Location of where your cost information is from should be in your references.)

 

After you have decided what type of new business to plan for, you will need to decide what tasks will need to be accomplished for your project. As well identify key areas on which to report on the project’s progress. In the appendix of your project report, you should include a Gantt chart showing your different tasks required in accomplishing the project and a schedule for these tasks. Finally, design and prepare closure evaluation and reports for the project.
