Plan: a detailed formulation of a program of action
Ask any business expert for advice on what is most important for the success of a business and the vast majority will cite writing and using a business plan as a critical component for success. Almost every lender will require some type of plan before lending any money to a business.
However, ask most new entrepreneurs if they have written a business plan and a common answer will be “no.” Why is this advice, noted prominently in all start up literature, not being heeded?
Most entrepreneurs blame not having a plan on the time, knowledge, and research needed to put it together. Yet business plan writing advice is abundant, almost too abundant. Certainly, sorting through all the advice, some of it contradictory, can be quite intimidating.
A well-written business plan is the story of how you are going to run your business. It is your opportunity to chart the path for where you want to go.
Starting a business without a plan is like going on a trip without a map or a destination in mind. It might be a fun trip. Then, again, it might not. And, running a business is not a simple jaunt. You need that map and destination already in mind if you are to stay in business.
