Developing business plans. Sounds pretty technical and a
compete waste of time, right? Wrong. Business plans are like one of those
understated, geeky guys who may seem like nobody in high school, but within the
next few years they’re the ones who we bow down to. Same is the case with
business plans. Initially, to an entrepreneur who’s starting a business, a
business plan may seem like yet another chore that’s completely insignificant
when compared to so many other tasks waiting to be tackled. However, this is
where 80% of entrepreneurs go wrong. They underestimate the power of a business
plan. Business plans are the reason why the chore tackling list of yours seems
to get shorter and shorter. Why your work hours seem to decrease. Why you start
spending more and more time at home. Why despite spending such a short amount
of time at work, your business continues to expand at a pretty fast pace with
success written all over it in bold letters.
However, once you understand the significance of a business
plan, the next step is to quickly start making one. What are the main
components of a good business plan?
·
Executive summary: It can comprise of one to two
pages. It is one of the core sections of a business plan as it tells the reader
what your business is about. It gives you a chance to convince your reader to
invest in you and your visions, and to tell them why your business will be a
success that everyone will write about. Its immense importance lies in the fact
that this is the first section your audience will read, so it should be
powerful enough to leave a strong impact. POSITIVE strong impact, obviously.
Furthermore, since it’s a summary of your entire plan, you should write it in
the end, so that you can fully summarize the strong points and assets of your
business plan.
·
Description of your business: This section
should come within two to three pages. In this section you’re supposed to
expand on details which include everything – from business forms to business
types and even permits that are required in order to function.
·
Products and services you’re planning to offer:
This section also consists of around one to two pages and should thoroughly
describe how you will construct your price points. This is the section through
which you can create a connection with your customers so try to sell your brand
in this section.
·
Marketing plan: Here’s MY favorite part.
Marketing plan section takes around two to three pages, and is used to classify
the market demographically. It includes it all – from competitors to customers
and everything in between.
·
Organization and financial plans: The last
component consists of an organizational chart and a financial plan. The
organizational chart should clearly explain the management and other aspects,
while through the financial plan you’re supposed to list your expenses and its
like.
