The U.S. Census Bureau's E-Stats report, released May 28 2009, showed that e-commerce grew faster than total economic activity in three of the four major economic sectors. The market for new online businesses is definitely there; however, many new e-commerce entrepreneurs jump in without sufficient planning.

A solid e-commerce business plan helps entrepreneurs think ahead to potential problems, plan marketing strategies, secure funding, and project sales.
