Are you in college? if you are be prepared to spend about 50 to 60 hours preparing this document.

I did one when i was in college and i actually wrote mine on my actual business, so i put more time and effort into preparing the document. (i actually called the start of the recession in my plan, big claim i know, but i did not expect it to be the shithole it turned out to be.)

anyways, just do it on something that interests you, should not be to hard.

I like the girls on wind/solar power business or anything that has to due with alternative energy or fuels.

you could do a ski company that would be rad, or running a ski resort.

Yes and mention how you will only be able to market them to upper middle class Americans with lots of disposable income.  Generally that shit is way to expensive initially for most to invest in.

It's only for a high school class and they give us an entire marking period to work on it so it shouldn't be to bad, our teacher said when we're done we should be able to start our own business from it. I like a lot of the ideas so far, keep them coming.

i'm sure there are enough middle class families to produce a business.

car washes, restaurants, high-end electronics and certain sports (cough cough skiing) do ok by just aiming at the middle class.

and with the current trend in ROCs in Europe it is going to become more than affordable in the near future.

I had to do this sophomore year at champlain college we made the dipmasta 3000 it was a dip/salsa container that had an adjustable bottom so you could always push the dip to the top of the jar, no broken chips dirty hands whatever. my teach loved it. anyway its fun to do something like that where you can make a prototype and its more fun than JUST writing a plan for a business.

I wrote mine on a t-shirt on demand store using a vinyl cutter to put simple designs/text on shirts then eventually upgrading to a DTG printer.

A lot of kids did bars or restaurants.

I would help you but I'm not going to give away my ideas. Hours for dollars, ideas for millions. Think of something that is lacking in your life and fix it. That simple.
