Does anyone have a template plan I can work with for an independent Coffee shop?

Two really great places to find sample business plans and templates are SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business" and http://www.sba.gov/ On those sites, you can find sample business plans that you can tailor to fit your business.

Do you have any questions concerning advertising your business?

I have all the questions there are! :) What answers do you have?

What I am mainly the best at is promoting and advertising businesses. But, I do have a few service type businesses that I own and run. Although, they are not operated out of a store front like yours would be.

What kind of coffee shop are you talking about? Is it one where food might also be served? If it is, then there is a free sample business plan on the following link which might be very close to the kind that you might be looking for. If it isn't exactly what you are looking for, then perhaps you could tailor it to fit your needs. It is a number of pages in length.

Cafe Bistro Coffeehouse Business Plan - Executive Summary - Bplans.com

There are literally hundreds of sites with business plan templates, and with enough searching you will probably find a coffee shop plan that meets your needs, but if you are actually looking to open your own shop, I recommend you NOT look for a template to follow. Instead, take your initial idea and develop your own vision, mission, objectives and strategies and start moving your idea from concept to successful venture. My clients use QuickPlanner Plus to develop their ideas. Once that stage is completed, developing the business plan is a relatively easy task and can be done without a someone else's template.

So, what more would you like to know, annhagaman?
