Doing a business plan isn't easy. But then you've probably already figured that out, which is why you're here. For most entrepreneurs, writing a business plan that is effective and persuasive can take upwards of 400 hours, according to the Small Business Administration. Many entrepreneurs don't have this kind of time, and if you're an inexperienced entrepreneur, figuring out how to develop a persuasive business plan that effectively presents the case for your concept can be equally different. Doing a business plan yourself also presents the challenge of having to figure out whether you've included sufficient information to support the notion that your business will be profitable in the future – or if you've included too much. As someone who might be doing a business plan on your own, here are some tips for ensuring that your business is effective:
• Focus on creating a great executive summary, it's the most important part of the document
• Have your friends, family, and anyone else who'll do it read your business plan for feedback
• Keep it short and focus on highlighting the most exciting elements of your concept
• Develop realistic and feasible financial figures – no pie-in-the-sky numbers
By following this advice, even a first-time entrepreneur can create a business plan that is effective and that provides sufficient information to prospective lenders or investors.
