   Product / Service Description
   Why its important?
   What it includes?
   Tips for Writing the Products or Services
    Section.
   The Products and Services section of the
    business plan describes what products and
    services are offered, how and where they are
    purchased and any plans for future goods or
    product lines.
 This section of the business plan is your opportunity to
  completely hash out your product idea, down to the finest
  detail, which gives you a complete understanding of your
  product. The information you learn from this section will
  help you improve your product and differentiate from
  competitors.
 By writing a cohesive Product Description that explains
  the details of the product, the need for it, and how it has
  advantages of its competitors, you are making a strong
  case for why your product will succeed and be profitable.
  Without this information, investors have no way of
  knowing if you completely understand your product, or
  how you plan to compete with others, which makes for a
  very risky investment.
When writing the products and services section, be
  sure to include the following:
 The uniqueness of the product or service
 The method in which the items are sold
 Benefits to the customer
 Why customers will purchase it from your
  business
 Vendor details, noting any exclusive dealerships
 Pricing policy or strategy
 How does your products differ from the
  competition
   Focus on the Customer
   Get to the Point
   Keep It Simple
   Show Your Uniqueness
   Include the Fine Print
   The purpose of the products or services
    section of your business plan is to clearly
    express the benefits you're providing to your
    customers or clients. All of the background
    you provide should focus on that goal. Think
    in terms of answering, "Why does my ideal
    client want this? How will my product or
    service make his/her life better, easier or
    more profitable?"
   What is the primary function of your products
    or services? Outline the need you are
    fulfilling, the problem you are solving and the
    overall purpose of the product or service.
   You're the expert in the industry, so you may
    overlook some fundamental elements when
    describing your products and services
    because it's so common to you. However, the
    basics may not be as clear to those reading
    your business plan. Assume the reader has
    little to no understanding of your industry
    and product or service.
   While describing similar products and
    services that are already in existence, take
    some time in your description to express how
    your product or service is different, better
    and unique.
   While the bulk of your products or services
    section should focus on the end result
    product or service, you should also include
    information about your pricing and how you
    arrived at that price point. And be sure to
    include details about how the product will be
    sold (i.e. retail, online, etc.).
