The first thing I would look at is investment and capital requirements for the business.
You must have a business plan very important this is done.
Your plan would be a start up plan as you are not an existing business, determine what is most important in your plan.
Form follows function, make the contents of your plan match your purpose and adjust the outline to match your plan.
You will need to have an investors summaries and loan application, when a plan is used to back up a loan application or explain an opportunity to potential investors, it may require a special summary document as well as the complete plan.
Many investors like to see a brief summary, and loan applications do not always require a complete plan.
Time frames, is three years enough? Your plan should project sales by month for the next 12 months, and annual sales for the following two years.

When dealing with Angel investors do not get fooled by the title, you will not get something for nothing.
What percent of your company are you prepared to give up in exchange for the money?
Good luck

- Well mate us welsh cant afford to go paying out for things like that , we are all kinda struggling in wales due to lack of jobs and we are a deprived area of Britain why do you think wales has the worst health conditions in Britain, some just spend all their money on booze and others like me spend it all on their bills and children. id love to say I could help but im having trouble making ends meet as it is.
- Hi, I know of a website that may be of interest to you.
It's called http://www.Boggleit.com - think Dragons Den online. You can submit your idea and if they thinks it's good they may offer you funding.
I submitted an idea and although it was rejected I received some very useful feeback.
Well worth a try I think
