BBC Busi­ness’ How to Write a Busi­ness Plan has some sound advice for that basic busi­ness plan. How­ever, being writ­ten by a multi-national cor­po­ra­tion, I had an inkling that it wasn’t going to be very—I hate say­ing this—Web 2.0, so I went to the usual sus­pects.

This Ask Y Com­bi­na­tor thread has some good advice and fur­ther resources. I was expect­ing this:

Keep work­ing on your prod­uct, get a user base, and worry later about ver­bal­iz­ing the specifics of your pro­jected mar­ket share and what day exactly you plan to go cash flow positive.

Instead the com­ment got debunked numer­ous times.

Extra-special resources include: Sequoia Capital’s ‘Ideas’ and Paul Gra­ham (of Y Com­bi­na­tor) on Viaweb’s first busi­ness plan.
