I am in need of an angel financier/investor, what makes a good business plan?

I am in need of about $800,000 to launch a legit performing arts related project. How do I write the business plan and how do I find angels without having to go to pay websites to match me up with investors. (it seems all these sites want $ to find me an investor)

Follow these pointers

1. Investors want to know how big is your "Target Market". Because they only have 1 thing in mind Profit!
Reseach your target market and u should be able to tell how much to make in 1 year, 3 years and 5 years

2. How long is yr product development cycle.

3. What is your key differentiator against your competition?

4. Who are you competitors? and what is yr strategy to compete with them?

5. What is yr marketing strategy?

6. Manpower requirement to deliver your promises

7. Any listing opportunities?

8. What are the risk factors?

9. Financial reports Yr 1, Yr 3 amd Yr 5 projections

And also prepare an elevator pitch
- 5 minutes speech to make your investor excited

this is how i convinced my angel with my business plan

good luck

Start with the Small Business Administration website established by the government to help those with your questions and help you think of questions you haven't come up with yet, moreover, there are community areas where small business owners can talk it out. The name of the site doesn't fit your bill but there is a wealth of information available there. Visit www.sba.gov.

It is true to say that your success at attracting an investor has more to do with the attractiveness of the business plan rather than the attractiveness of the business. In other words, the business plan is the single most important thing in finding your angel.

There are countless templates available on the internet that give a step by step guide on how to prepare a good business plan. I have found good templates at www.PracticalTemplates.com but there are many other sources as well.
I think that following a good template is your best bet.
