Exercise 15

Create a report outline.
As a financial advisor, you provide expert advice for your clients. A new client has asked you to evaluate a potential investment opportunity: purchasing an existing used bookstore in Norfolk, VA. Before you begin your research, you write a very preliminary report outline, which will help you determine what data and other information you need to gather. Working in small groups, first brainstorm what information would be valuable in helping your client make the decision. Next, create an outline of major topics, with at least two minor topics under each.
