The plan includes the core business, market, operations, funding and financial sections commonly assessed in applications. You will also attach the personal and supporting documents requested by the funder.

Does the plan include waste permits and disposal approval?

The plan explains the operating and recordkeeping areas to prepare for, but carrier permits, municipal requirements and approved disposal arrangements depend on the location and waste streams and must be completed separately.

Can I get a refund?
