How to Start A Business Plan
by John Mussi
A business plan precisely defines your
business, identifies your goals, and serves as your firm's resume.
The basic components include a current and pro forma balance sheet, an income
statement, and a cash flow analysis. It helps you allocate resources properly,
handle unforeseen complications, and make good business decisions.
Because it provides specific and organized information about your company and
how you will repay borrowed money, a good business plan is a crucial part of any
loan application. Additionally, it informs sales personnel, suppliers, and
others about your operations and goals.

The importance of a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan
cannot be overemphasized.
Much hinges on it: outside funding, credit from suppliers, management of your
operation and finances, promotion and marketing of your business, and
achievement of your goals and objectives.
Despite the critical importance of a
business plan, many entrepreneurs drag their feet when it comes to preparing a
written document.
They argue that their marketplace changes too fast for a business plan to be
useful or that they just don't have enough time. But just as a builder won't
begin construction without a blueprint, eager business owners shouldn't rush
into new ventures without a business plan.
Before you begin writing your business plan, consider four core questions:
What service or product does your business provide and what needs does it fill?
Who are the potential customers for your product or service and why will they purchase it from you?
How will you reach your potential customers?
Where will you get the financial resources to start your business?
