Making a Business Plan
Writing a business plan can sometimes seem like a daunting task if you have never done one before. Or you may have written one a long time ago and feel a bit a rusty.
I have written many business plans for other companies and organisations, but writing one for my own business felt like much more of a challenge. In fact my own mentor had to persuade me that I needed to write one!
People often think that the only purpose of a business plan is as a vehicle to gaining investment, but they are much, much more than that. Business plans are a wonderful tool for gaining a deeper understanding of your business and what motivates you.
A business plan also underpins your strategy, so if you get your strategy right, then you are well on your way to saving lots of time, and ultimately money too.
