When people always ask me, “why should I have a business plan?” I tell them that having a well written business plan is very important to a business at any stage of their growth process.
• Helping you to make your vision clear and decide whether or not to move forward with the idea.
• Determining if your product or service has a sufficient market to support it and whether or not it will be profitable.
• Providing an estimate of your start-up costs and how much you’ll need to invest or finance.
• Convincing investors and lenders to fund your business.
• Defining your target market and how to best reach them.
• Establishing or reevaluating your competitive position within the market.
• Defining corporate objectives and programs to achieve those objectives.
• Helping your business make money from the start by developing effective operational strategies.
• Understanding the risks involved and anticipating potential problems so you that can solve them before they become disasters.
• Setting a value on a business for sale or for legal purposes.
A business plan should be an evolving document. It should be adjusted as the marketplace changes, not written and left on the shelf. In some cases, it may be best to work with a professional business plan consultant on the development of your business plan. A business plan consultant will be able to help guide you along the way and ensure that your finalized plan meets SBA standards and that it is presented in a professional format.
