1. Write a CLC Business Plan on Ambulatory Surgery Center that include

A. Description of service
B. Business and industry profile

2. The Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) Business Plan needs to be of professional quality, demonstrating a high level of thought, research, and writing skill.

3. The business plan needs to be similar in format, content, and quality to actual business plans in the health care industry.

4. The CLC Business Plan is based on a hypothetical situation. Therefore, you will need to be creative. While the information included in the plan will be contrived, make a reasonable attempt to be realistic. This will require research and imagination. Financial projections and timelines are not expected to be exact; feasible approximations are expected.
