I've already planned all the basics and I know how I want things run.
What I'm looking for is advice with the actual business plan. Which needs to be written in order to get any outside financial support.

Friends and relatives can be one of your best ways for financial help when starting this. A lot of people don't like to borrow from friends though. Get out to a bank and talk to the investment and loan people and see what they have to offer. Talk with your credit card companies and see what type of loans they have to offer as well. I don't know where you are from, but you may even have lending institutions in your area. Sorry I can't be more help than that though.
