Should the executive summary be placed before a table of contents?

When building a business plan, I recommend including the Executive Summary immediately following a table of contents. This allows those reviewing your business plan to locate the Executive Summary quickly and easily. On occasion I have have be specifically asked to place it in another location, but that is not the normal experience.

I will arrange the business plan in this order:

  • Front page with the name of business and business plan writer, address & contact details
  • Table of content
  • Executive summary
  • Marketing plan
  • Operations plan
  • Financial plan
  • Appendices

God Bless you
