Writing A Business Plan

Writing a business plan is one of the most important aspects of starting a business in today's every changing environment.

Why is writing a business plan so important?

This is the question you will need to ask yourself over and over again. And once you come up with the answer that is right for your home based business, you will be ready to get started...

Starting a business in today's ever changing environment is a challenge in itself. So many entrepreneurs are jumping into business ownership without first planning their new venture. The importance of planning your business cannot be over emphasized.

By taking an unbiased look at your business, you can identify areas of weaknesses and strengths that you might otherwise overlook. Planning can mean the difference between your business being successful or your business being a failure.

The idea of a plan is to help keep you mentally focused. In a sense it is sort of like a goal. You write it down, follow it and make changes and updates as needed.

This is so that you can keep everything in proper perspective, because without a step by step business plan, there is no way you can keep your business running successfully, unless you are just a super lucky person… What are the chances of that being true? Not Much.

Writing A business plan is simply the process you'll use to organize your business goals and strategies. It is a written expression of your business ideas. And, it also provides information needed for others to evaluate your business. A thorough business plan can help if you are seeking assistance from a financial lender.

It will let the lender know that you are serious, and also let them know that you are working and planning for your business to ultimately be successful.

There are several organizations that offer free or low cost assistance in preparing a business plan:

Local University Outreach Center

Local University Extension Office

Small Business Development Center

Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE)

Women Business Center

Most cities have these or similar organizations. Look in your local white pages or contact your local government office for help locating them.

When it comes to preparing your business plan, you are going to organize it to fit your particular (business) circumstances. A business plan should be one of the first things a start up or new business should do before you get too involved in your business. It is best to plan it before you start it.
