Harvester Business Plan: Fill & Download for Free

I'm assuming that the business planning is for a startup - the following matrix will give you an overview framework of business planning for a startup.

It will at least provide enough of a planning framework for you to take to an experienced entrepreneur or successful business person to get advice on taking the next step.

Reading, daydreaming, drinking a glass of champagne, drawing, painting, learning a foreign language, writing of poetry, novels, songs, memoirs, theorems, and business plans, whittling, whistling, singing, wild-strawberry harvesting, picnicking, shooting hoops (practicing basketball), golfing, archery, swimming, juggling, memorizing of scripts, grocery lists, and the most wonderful aspects of your lover's character, dreaming up lists of things that can be done alone outside, conjuring rhymes for orange. And in a nod to Anon's excellent answer, probably other things too. ;)

There is lot of answer hidden, between the lines in your question itself. According to me you are the only best judge to answer your question. Your question suggest one should not loose h(is/er) vision. Live your vision for helping others by doing water harvesting business in your local area to help people struggling from water crisis. There are two ways. 1 To collect rain water in water tanks and use it letter on. 2. Charge excess water back to ground by 20 ft or more depth well, so ground water will raise in your area. You can write a business plan for both above, show it to builders and individual bungalow owners of your area, find how many show initial interest in your great idea. It will help to get initial funding from them and bank as well. You can take training from Bangalore Wate(more)
