If you found yourself on this page, you are likely thinking about making a business plan. We understand. Writing a business plan can be a serious challenge and a major undertaking, particularly if you are a first-time entrepreneur trying to craft a plan for the first time. In fact, according to the Small Business Administration, it takes the average entrepreneur roughly 400 hours to craft a business plan. However, making a business plan does not have to be an entirely painful experience. To get started writing a persuasive, compelling business plan that will help you meet your goals, start by addressing the following points:
• What makes your idea special, unique, or innovative?
• How you will you generate a profit?
• Who is your competition and how will you compete?
• How will you secure customers?
These points will help establish the foundation of your business plan. Bear in mind, that the point if making a business plan is to either create a compelling document to convince an investor or lender to write you a check for start-up capital or to create a personal roadmap to your start-ups operations. Either way, your business plan should be clear, concise, focused, and, above all else, reasonable. Investors and lenders can sniff out hyperbole and exaggeration, and overestimating your sales during the first few months does not do you any good either.
