Writing a business proposal: hint and ideas

No, I'm not actually starting my own business- this is another installment in the popular "Do my homework for me or I'll beat you up at break" series.

For one of my Uni modules, I have to present a business proposal for a recording studio to the class. I've got some good general outlines but does anyone have any ideas or experiences that could help put the finishing touches to the piece?

What is the business proposal for?

For a small recording studio. I have to hand in a report and present my idea to the class.

Numbers are very important. Your proposal is what a bank or investor will look at before handing you the cash. Make sure you've got lots of dollar/pound values. Also be concerned about the completeness of the document. If they have to ask you lots of questions about it then it'll look like you haven't put enough thought into it. And when they do ask the questions (and they will) make sure you've got clear, concise answers. If you'd like, I can e-mail you a copy of mine. It's not perfect, but it did get me where I am today.

Um, sorry for threadrotting and bringing this debate here, but I think this is a perfect example of what a forum of Barbelith texts could accomplish.

Nombers are VITAL, but I have found that another thing that helps is putting in it how your idea is the only one like it out there. For example:

The bookstore I will be opening will be the only store focusing on selling used as well as new books in a 20 mile radius. This will bring in customers who would be tempted to go to the large chain bookstore 5 miles away, but know that they will be able to buy, sell and trade used books, saving them money over the chain. I will also be a small operation and able to recommend books to returning customers based on their tatses, building customer loyalty.

Damn....maybe I should quit working at the group home and open a bookstore. ^_^

When Built to Spill signed to Warner Bros Doug Martsch used the money to build a studio onto the back of his house so he wouldn't have to pay for studio time anymore. I don't know if he rents it out but I cant imagine hes the only one using it.

Um, I guess my point was find a way to show that opening the studio is going to save you money in the long run by providing a service you already pay for.
