From Tech To Training: A SME’s Guide To Writing A Business Plan

You cannot know where you are going if you do not have a roadmap to get you there. As it is in life, so it is in business. For the latter, establishing a coherent and clear business plan is akin to establishing the roadmap that will inform the big decisions that you have to make as your business grows and expands.

Initially, however, writing a business plan is one of the essential ingredients for getting your company off the ground. Not only will a well-conceived business plan increase your chances of impressing potential investors, but it will also clarify the goals and milestones of your business for you and your team. Getting it right the first time will save you the effort from having to stumble and start the process from scratch.

To this end, let’s look at some of the specific things that go into writing a great business plan.

Start With The Basics

There are many comprehensive lists to be found of what to include in an effective business plan. Naturally, you need to start with a clear executive summary that will highlight for potential investors precisely what your company is all about. You can find many templates for this important portion of the business plan online but remember that it needs to speak to what your business is in a very particular sense.

Make sure that the summary is succinct yet includes enough detail to provide a complete newcomer to your business with a good understanding of what you are all about.

Describe Your Company And Your Products

Good business plans also need to include detailed information about the specifics of your company. Having a high-powered mission statement is not merely ornamental but needs to be a guide for decision-making in your company. Put some thought into this stage of the process to provide clarity for your strategic choices later on down the road.

Make sure to describe where your business is located and what market it serves or intends to serve. Include a list of what products you intend to make and how these products are aimed at solving the real needs of your target market. The more information you have about these products, the better. 

Marketing Maneuvers

Including your approach to marketing in your business plan is also a good idea for a couple of reasons. For one, it will provide you with a guide to build off of when you actually begin to invest in extensive marketing campaigns.

However, it will also allow you to spend some time thinking about your target audience and what types of marketing will be most effective at capturing their interest. Planting this seed in your mind when your business is still in its formative stages will allow you to have an abundance of creative and engaging ideas when the time comes to start advertising.

Starting Strong Will Help You Succeed

Providing your business with a clear plan on how to move forward will give you the best shot at success. While many businesses fail with failure rates at more than fifty per cent, the ones who succeed know where they are headed from the beginning.

Put some serious time and thought into the construction of your business plan. Make sure to include the aspects outlined here and research more about constructing the most effective plan possible. Remember that it is not merely a fluff piece to pull the wool over the eyes of investors, but can be a great means of setting the tone and direction of your business.
