As the old saying goes, ‘if you fail to plan you are planning to fail’ – and that’s an important message to remember when you’re starting or growing a business.
You may have the best business idea in the world but unless you have a clear on how you’re going to make it happen, it may never reach fruition.
A business plan is a crucial tool for any organisation, new or old. If you’re hoping to start your own business, you’ll need this to prove to financial organisations that you’ve got a vision and know how you’re going to deliver it.
If you already run an established business and you want to grow, a business plan can give you the clarity you need to understand your aims and how you’re going to reach them.
External funders, whether you’re sourcing a business grant or loan, want to see a business plan – it demonstrates attention to detail and a wider understanding of your organisation and its operation.
We’re not the only ones who think a business plan is important. One of the world’s most successful businessmen Richard Branson believes so too – read his thoughts on why you need a roadmap for your business here.
