How to Write an Executive Summary for a Business Plan
Posted on May 9, 2018, by Julie Brook, Esq.1

Whether starting a business or transforming one, it’s important to have a written business plan. A business plan should start with an executive summary that briefly describes the business’s products or services, its market and competition, and its management. The executive summary can make or break a business’s pursuit of investors.
Although it’s the first document in the plan, the executive summary should be prepared lastâit covers the whole plan in concise form, so it can’t be drafted until all of the other elements of the plan have been developed.
