Instructions

1.1 Computer Requirements

To view and fill out the Savings and Credit Unions of B.C. 'Business Planner' on your computer you will need:

If you do not know whether the required software is installed on your computer (and you are using Windows), you can do the following:

Step 1: Click Windows Start

Step 2: Click Programs

Step 3: Look for a version of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. The version should be indicated after the name.

 

1.2 Using Acrobat Reader

Important User Information: If you use Acrobat Reader to fill out this form, the content you enter will not be saved on your computer by pressing the Save As key under the File option. This will save the PDF document only, and not the content that you have entered. If you cannot finish the form during one computer session, to avoid losing any of your work you can:

· Print the pages you have completed; or

· Save the content of your business plan by reading and following the instructions below carefully.
