Business Plan Writing
Every great business idea requires a strategic business plan to take the entrepreneur’s product or service from their mind into the real world.
The business plan acts as a roadmap for the business owner and team members to follow. It explains the vision for the business along with management biographies, and it presents the steps on how the business will succeed. It highlights the market opportunity and shows how the product or service adds value to the target customer’s life.
Business plans are almost always required to raise money as financiers such as banks, angel investors and grant funders want to be sure that their risk of assigning funds to a new business will be relatively low, and that they are making a good decision based on a strong business case, market opportunity and experience of the team involved. The business plan is a powerful document that answers all the questions a potential funder may have before they even have to ask.
