In addition to the business plan I like having a one page proposal. A 1PP is like your elevator pitch, but on paper. Have the benefits you supply to a customer ready to show and we all know that no one will read more than one page unless they are already hooked.
In the marketing section, keep in mind that a testimonial from a happy client is worth more than the things that you say. Work with your first customer to get a testimonial. If they write a weak one, call up and fill in the blanks with your words, asking if the customer would agree with your statements (Mr. Customer, where you said "he was good" would you be willing to say that .. ). Make sure you send the full copy to the customer and get the customer to agree to your using it.
