CUT: (Stevens) Building a business plan where you have a roadmap that can help you to understand where it is and what you need to do and how you need to grow is very important. Wells Fargo has built a phenomenal tool. If you go to WellFargoWorks.com, inside of that we have a business plan center where small business owners – whether you're a Wells Fargo customer or not – can actually go in and you can build a business plan for free.

Go online and in just a few minutes apply for a loan and as early as the next day that money can be in their account. Go to WellsFargo.com, they can also do this by phone.
