@SeanPas I'm having the hardest time with my business plan mostly because all the business plan books I come across are geared more toward brick and mortar companies while mine is more of a online business.For example how would you say SWOT would translate to a online business?

Hi gamesmaster, The approach for a SWOT Analysis varies depending on every business, not just general business types. Still, performing a SWOT Analysis is generally worth the effort as it can bring things to mind that you hadn't considered before. We have a great article online that applies to every business that you can review at articles DOT bplans DOT com /business/how-to-perform-swot-­analysis/116

I'll send that to you in a PM as well.
