In all my discussions with the folks who approve the applications, they ALWAYS
insist that they DO NOT want your VERY long business plan.  MERELY, they
want to see that you have a business in mind, and if you provide a brief
synopsis gleaned from your business plan.  They don't expect you to divulge
all your confidential information, they're simply trying to avoid people 
becoming partners who just want an equipment discount and nothing else.

At least that's how I see it from my humble existance.
