Business Plan in 1-Week

In simple terms, yes. Not considering the compliance aspect and funding opportunities. The process of the business plan will allow you to have a better understanding of exactly how you are going to start and grow your company to be successful.

1) A game plan. A business plan can be considered to be a roadmap for the company. It will allow for focus and direction towards one goal, although things may change in the first few months – the end goal will be known.

2) Compliance. Depending on what your company will be supplying, be it service or product, many governmental regulating bodies will request a formal business plan for the specific industry. You can read more about various Company Compliance – here

3) Financing & Funding. To be eligible for funding, investors will want to know all about your company. They will look for things such as who your target market is and, ultimately, whether your business is profitable. A business plan outlines all these points.

Many entrepreneurs are under the impression that a professional plan is purely for financial funding, this is however not the case. At the onset of your venture, a comprehensive plan will help you get a realistic picture of your capabilities and viable strategies. Once your business is off the ground and thriving the way in which you intended it to, your business plan will allow for direction and guidance to continue to thrive.
