Business planning is the process of analyzing, documenting, and executing key components for the successful operation of a business over a projected period that can range from one to three years or even longer. The average business typically creates a plan with projections spanning 3 to 5 years. All successful companies have a business plan. They either started with a detailed plan or had to adopt one soon after business operations began. One may be lucky to stumble upon a successful startup without a business plan; however, this success could be short-lived without the implementation of a good business plan. Business planning can be a tedious task for inexperienced entrepreneurs, and hiring a professional consultant is a step in the right direction. Biz Ideaz provides business consultation & planning services for startup ventures or existing small businesses that want to improve their profit margins and social impact.
How to prepare a detailed Business Plan:
A Business plan is basically organizing your ideas within the parameters of local, state & federal laws as well as best practices for marketing, financing, and management. A business plan answers some key questions for entrepreneurs. Let’s explore some of these questions.
1) What should I name my business? Is it a socially acceptable name? Does it effectively represent the business? Is the name available?
2) What are the legal requirements of that business? This includes registering a business entity to legally conduct business within your State, obtaining any required licenses and certifications, fulfilling tax requirements, and implementing environmental controls.
3) Where do I locate my business? Location may be determined by the type of product or services offered, the target market, climate conditions, or availability of natural resources.
4) How do I operate my business? The sequence of steps to follow for the daily operations of the company, for the most efficient and cost-effective approach, yielding the most significant returns.
5) What kind of manpower resources do I need, and what kind of skills or qualifications do they need to have?
6) Who am I selling my products or services to, and how do I inform and attract them to my business?
7) What is the immediate cost to fund my start-up? What is the projected cost for plans, and what are the projected earnings
8) How do I access funding for my business? Will it be from personal savings, a government grant, small business loans, the sale of shares in the company, or taking on a business partner?
