Writing your Business Plan executive summary
When you're writing your business plan, don't start with the beginning. The Executive Summary should be the last section of your business plan that you write. By writing your executive summary last you will be able to give a better overview of the main points of your plan. Obviously it's hard to find the main points of the content if you have not written the body of your business plan yet.
