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 PowerPoint 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.

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).

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)
undefined
This is accompanied by a visual presentation (PowerPoint) in support.
You or your boss will be doing the briefing. Include the salient points with tables, charts, and graphics. Often there are some speaker notes, and a hidden slide or two with a different option, should management want to go a different route. Be sure to use a header or footer and include at least a slide number.
