Creating or running a business without a business plan is like driving to a destination without knowing where you are going - success will be accidental, if achieved at all. A business plan is absolutely critical for any business and the majority of businesses that fail do not have a clear path to success organized within a written business plan.
When you are creating or upgrading a business plan, you may need some help structuring
the this living document, and as you move forward with your plan, it should be updated at least quarterly and grow in detail as your business grows. If you have an Executive Summary, or need to upgrade your business plan, consider consulting with an expert.
A properly structured business plan will also help you raise capital and qualify for SBA or conventional loans. The following are considerations to help get you started and represent the main bullet items for your business plan.
