When starting a small business in Canada one of the first steps to take is to write your business plan.
A properly developed business plan will act as a blueprint to the success of your business. This is one of the main reasons it’s written - to pre-plan your business.
Business plans are often written as a guide, to find funding, to find investors, to attract business partners, to sell the business, to test viability of the business..etc
When writing a business plan the one question that seems to often popup is what should a business plan include?
While every business person may tell you a different outline of what your business plan should include, general business plans often include the following sections:
- The executive summary
- Company description
- Explanation of your products and services
- The market analysis
- Your strategy and implementation
- The team and the organization
- Your financials
Every business plan may be differently worded but the general idea behind what makes up a properly developed business plan remains the same.
