Make a Business Plan

What is a business plan?

A business plan is a document you create that acts like a roadmap for how to make your business successful. No matter what industry you’re in, a business plan can help you clarify what you do, what clients you serve, and how you can best serve them. It can also map out what your operating expenses are and whether you will need to take out a loan or access other funding to get your business off the ground. 

Why does your business need a business plan?

Aside from being an essential tool to help you manage your business, banks and other financial institutions may require a business plan before they will provide a loan. A business plan will also make it easier for you to work with local and federal support organizations.

How do I create a business plan?
