I am using the template only as a starting point to gather information , I
am also using various other sources to make sure that I have all aspects
of
the BP covered.
I have found a few links to Database Normaliszation, thanks for your reply

The business plan template from Word, *will not give you* the design of
the table structures in Access. To design the table structures in
Access, you need to use a non-trivial, non-intuitive process called
"database normalization". If you do not know what this is, you need to
learn about it *before you go any further*. Google the Access groups
for that term, there will be lots of references
