Business Plan
To get your business started, you need to create a business plan. A business plan is a document that describes your business, its objectives and strategies, the market you are targeting and your financial forecast. It is important to have a business plan because it helps you set realistic goals, secure external funding, measure your success, and establish reasonable financial expectations.
Your business plan should include:
- Executive summary (business description)
- Identifying your business opportunity
- Marketing and sales strategy of a business plan
- Your team
- Operations
- Financial forecasts of a business plan
- Other useful documentation
