Writing a Business Plan

lightbulb banner.png
 
Happy Tuesday Community! I hope your year is off to a great start. Today I want to chat about something a little different. Whether you’re thinking about starting your own business or you’re a seasoned business owner, you are well aware that demands can come at you quickly. According to a QuickBooks survey, 70% of business owners recommend writing a business plan before you start a business. I am going to go over the 10 steps that this article in the QuickBooks Blog touches on. Here are the steps:
 
  1. Create an executive summary
  2. Compose your company description
  3. Summarize market research and potential
  4. Conduct competitive analysis
  5. Describe your product or service
  6. Develop a marketing and sales strategy
  7. Compile your business financials
  8. Describe your organization and management
  9. Explain your funding request
  10.  Compile an appendix for official documents
 
The most important thing to remember is that a business plan is supposed to communicate who you are as a business, what you plan to do, and how you will go about it. It’s also a great way to attract any investors or talent. For more guidance and tips on how to go about writing a business plan, make sure to check out the full article here. Until next time!
