Business Plan FAQs

A business plan is a document that outlines the goals, strategies, and financial projections for a business. It serves as a roadmap for the business and helps to clarify the vision and direction of the company.
Whilst each business plan is unique, there are some necessities of a solid plan;
  • Executive summary: a brief overview of the business
  • Company description: a detailed description of the business, including its products or services, target market, and competitive advantage
  • Market analysis: a review of the current market conditions and competitors
  • Marketing and sales strategies: a description of how the business plans to market and sell its products or services
  • Financial projections: a forecast of the financial performance of the business, including projected income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements
  • Funding request: a description of the financing needed to start or grow the business, including the amount of money needed and how it will be used
  • Management and organisation: a description of the management team and organisational structure of the business
A business plan is important because it helps to clarify the vision and direction of the business and provides a roadmap for achieving its goals. It also helps to attract potential investors and lenders by providing a detailed overview of the business and its financial projections.
A business plan should be reviewed and updated regularly, typically at least once per year. As the business grows and changes, the business plan should be updated to reflect those changes and ensure that it continues to align with the goals and direction of the company. It is also a good idea to review and update the business plan whenever major changes occur, such as the launch of a new product or service, expansion into a new market, or changes to the management team.

Good business plans define exactly what you want to achieve and how

A business plan is a written document that describes your business. It covers objectives, strategies, sales, marketing and financial forecasts.

A business plan helps you to clarify your business idea, spot potential problems, set out your goals and measure your progress.

You will need a business plan if you want to secure investment or obtain a loan from a bank.

A business plan can also help to convince customers, suppliers and potential employees to support you.

We can also help you to monitor how your performance compares with what was documented in your plan.
