A business proposal is a formal presentation of a solution to a problem. In our case: the required update of the local office of a notional company. undefined
The presentation is made using a Power Point and a multi-page Word Document. (10+ pages) They both need to look professional and show why your proposed course of action should be approved. undefined Do an Internet search for Business Proposals to learn more; note there are many types. Include at least three URLs of where you researched Business proposals at the very end of your Proposal Document (don’t forget date visited).undefined A typical proposal document will include the following:undefined A cover page (required)
A table of contents to find pertinent paragraphs (required)
An Executive Summary – for management to quickly figure out what it’s all about. (Must be short!) (required) (Explain very briefly what you want and why)
An explanation of the task (Explain what you propose and why)
Recommend a solution
Your qualifications (to help us understand why we should listen to you)
Show options and prices (explain your process, embed spreadsheet and charts, show how prices are affected by components)
Benefits of your solution (Why your recommendation is best)
Other pertinent items (What it will take to implement the acquisition)
Your contact information
Any other references (including those three URLs / dates)
