    The Best Way to Create a Business Operations Manual

    Denise O'Berry

    Do you recommend a business operations manual software template to help save time writing the procedure? If yes, can you recommend a few?

    How to create a business operations manual

    I think a template for creating your operations manual is the best idea. That way your manual will follow a standard format which will be much easier to understand.

    Do you need to buy one of these from someone else? Absolutely not. Just create a standard template for your manual in your favorite word processing program.

    But before you begin, brainstorm a list of what you want to include in the manual. Don't worry about it being incomplete—operations manuals are never "done."

    Then it's time to take the biggest step. Execution. That's where a lot of small business owners fall short—taking action. Don't let that happen to you.
