What I look for in a business plan
 

Clarity:

Can the initial idea be clearly stated in just one or two sentences and does it make sense.

 

Experience:

Does the person have experience in the field of interest.

 

Advantages:

Is there a competitive advantage to this plan?  How can they capitalize on this advantage?

 

Weaknesses:

Do they address their weaknesses and can they turn it into an advantage.

 
Passion: Is the person/team writing this plan passionate about what they are about to do.
