A Strategic Business Plan is much more than a tool to obtain financing. If you
still have all you plans and ideas locked up inside your head... preparing a strategic plan helps you clarify your
company's direction, ensures your key leaders are all "on the same page", and keeps both management and
staff focused on the tasks at hand.
A Strategic Plan is often needed when...
-
Starting a new venture, product or service
-
Expanding a current organization, product or service
-
Buying a new business, product or service
- Turning around a declining business
The Strategic Plan provides a blueprint, describing your company, its products, the competitive environment, management team, financial health, and business risks.
The plan allows you to...
-
Identify and describe the target customer profile, features, advantages and benefits of your new venture, product or service.
-
Develop financial plans including projected startup costs, operating costs, revenue, profits, and break-even analysis for the first 3 to 5 years.
Projected financial plans allow you to effectively predict upcoming problems, or prevent them. In other words, the perspective gained through your Strategic Business Plan can make a significant contribution to your company's success, and help you get the funding you require. In fact, most lending institutions and private investors will not even talk to you without a solid financial plan.
-
Identify building and equipment needs including vendors and cost estimates.
Remember: Failing to plan is planning to fail.
