Preparing a business plan is always a good idea as it forces you to address the most important issues in your business and the cost of a plan are minor compared to the costs that may arise by failing to plan. A business plan is helpful to anyone who intends to open a business or already has a business. It is meant for someone who is serious about his/her business and definitely intends to put together a business plan. This workbook is not something you would buy and place on a bookshelf; instead this is a working guide. The publication will assist you, the entrepreneur, to construct his/her own plan. |
| For the existing business, compiling a business plan may be an eye-opener. By compiling a plan, the business owner is forced to address the major issues before they arise. A plan identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). It offers possible solutions and sets specific targets and identifies how these targets can be achieved. Additional topics include market description, financial plan, marketing strategy, promotion, competition, critical performance indicators, and much more. |
