IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS PLAN

From the recent report regarding the proposed business plan, I understood the importance of a
business plan during the startup and the entire operation of the business. We can relate the business
plan as the foundation of a business, and with a good foundation, it can grow and be successful.
Throughout the operation of the business, it can be a guide when it comes to decision-making. The
business plan can also help gain investors and accumulate the needed funding for the business.
Investors and banks are critical when it comes to money. Providing them with an overview of the
business will help convince them to invest in your company. As stated in the article, the business plan is
like a roadmap so that your business will stay on the right track.

The business plan has a long-term contribution to your business, but it only takes a short
amount of time to write one. The article's author provided five tips on writing a business plan; one of
them is keeping it short. It must be concise but has all the data explaining the business. Not all have free
time. Thus, it is advisable to be straightforward.

For the business plan, you want your audience to understand what the business is all about. On
some occasions, there is a possibility that you will have to make some changes in your business plan
depending on your audience. You can also use the audience to gain their idea regarding the business.

Before writing the business plan, the author advises us to test the business idea first. Consulting
with market experts and conducting feasibility studies will help build the structure of the business plan.
You can also talk with the locals about the market trends in the area. All of these tips will help in
formulating goals and objectives for the business plan.

It is also essential to understand the components of a business plan. This way, you can plan out
the data that you will need to gather. The first component is the executive summary. It is vital to gain
the attention of the audience when discussing the executive summary. Most people will have their first
impression of the business in the executive summary. Once they see the business's potential, they will
become intrigued and continue to listen or read through the business plan. Following the executive
summary, the opportunity component involves all information regarding your product or service. In this
section, the target market and competition are explained. This section must point out the advantages
your company has over the others. Then next is the execution component. This is one of the critical
components of a business plan since it involves all operations, marketing strategy, and publicity. As the
business continues to operate, the execution section will serve as a guide to remain aligned with your
goals. The fourth component, the company and management summary, provides an overview of the
company, including internal and external organizations. This section will show how you have thought
about the responsibilities and roles of your team. This includes a brief background of critical members.
Once the investors have seen the experience and capabilities of the team, they will more likely invest in
your business. Finally, we have the financial component. For me, constructing this section requires more
detail and time compared to the other components. The financial plan is the portion of the business plan
that you will constantly be referring to. It is not just a prediction, but it is the closest estimate of all cash
flow that will happen once the business is in operation.

Overall, the business plan allows you to be familiar with all the information and data that will
affect all decisions in the future. You will no longer be walking blindly, and with the business plan as a
guide, your can grow faster and be confident with the process your business is going through.
