I think it’s pretty straight forward, Greg.
1-Marry someone rich.
2-Make a chart.
3-On the left side (expenses), draw a bar all the way to the top.
4-On the right side (income), draw a bar 1/2 way up the page.
5-Repeat for each month, right?:o)

Yeah but those are just tips on how to write a business plan. I’m looking for plans or budgets that ate already done. To use as examples of monthly income and expenses. Barriers to entry. Initial startup costs, etc.

Thanks for this Greg, I could really use some info like this as well. I have extensive bookkeeping skills but starting up a new dive shop is a very new industry for me. Any list of operating cost and budget examples would be valuable right now.
