Course Introduction
A business plan is a complete description of a business and its plans for the next 1-5 years. It explains what the business does (or will do); outlines who will buy the product or services and why; includes financial forecasts; and indicates how much money (if any) is needed.
Most people only write a business plan when they need to raise finance for their business. However, the ideal business plan can be thought of like a road map; you define your destination (in other words, your strategic objectives) and the business plan then acts as your route plan for getting there. You should therefore revise your business plan each year, set targets and prepare financial forecasts. You should do this regardless of whether you need to raise extra money.
There are a number of items that a business plan should contain. Not all of them will be appropriate in every case, so do not worry if it seems best to miss out a section. The cover page should give the business name and the names and addresses of proprietors.
