Creating a Business Plan

A business plan is a written account of how you see your business developing. Committing your ideas to paper is important because it allows you to:

  • measure your progress as you go along
  • identify things which are not going to plan
  • help outsiders to assess your aims and prospects
  • estimate your future profits based on your sales forecasts

All in all, your business plan will help you to see the overall shape of your business and to understand what effects a decision in one area will have further down the line in another. It identifies the opportunities, and also the threats.

In short, your business plan is the eyes, ears, mind and soul of your business. Our Business Plan Software can help you prepare your plan. To obtain a copy of the Business Plan Software click on the contact us button above or call us on 0800 521 607.
