ABSTRACT/PROJECT SUMMARY

MODULE OVERVIEW

The project summary, though it appears after the title page and the table of contents, is written only
after all the aspects of the study have been completed. It is very important since not all readers have the
luxury of time to read every detail of the study. Oftentimes, readers check the details only when they find the
proposal financially interesting. The project summary, therefore, should be written in simple language and in
an interesting manner to attract investors or any interested user. It is the façade of the whole study, and if
possible, it should win the hearts of investors.
This chapter will discuss about the definition of the project summary, proposed name of the business,
description of the industry, description of the project, location of the project, highlights of major assumptions,
and summary of findings and conclusions.
