What is a Business Plan? an operational plan that defines actions what to do as well as how and when to do it. Many entrepreneurs use their business plan for the critical start-up and expansion so that they will stay both on target and within the budget. It consists of establishing goals for the business and completing the procedures to reach these goals.
In developing the plan, you should first ask yourself these questions: • What would I like the business to become a year from now? • What changes are taking place in the business and how should I prepare for it? • How can I attain my goals? • What timetable should I follow in accomplishing the plan?
Importance of a Business Plan • Serves as : - Blueprint /Roadmap for building an enterprise - Vehicle for describing the goals in business: (why goals are economically and technologically feasible) • Means to: • Delineate individual responsibilities • Project sales, expenses, and cash flows - Explain to employees what is expected of them - Improve company performance - Assists managers in decision making - Plan for new product development - Raises capital for a a business or securing capital
