Why Write a Business Plan? 

A business plan helps you evaluate your idea, set clear goals and map out how you’ll achieve them. Whether you're launching a new business or planning for growth, it gives you focus and direction.

It’s also a key document if you need funding. Lenders and investors want to see a clear plan showing how your business will generate income and repay any loans — or deliver a return on investment.

Making A Request For Funding

If you have identified that you will need to borrow money to start your business, then a detailed business plan will be required and will play a vital role in making a successful application for finance. A lender or investor will want to see that you can pay back any loans or provide them with a return on their investment.

Do's and Dont's

• Do think about the audience for your business plan and write it accordingly.
• Don’t forget to update your business plan regularly. Business planning is not just for start-up businesses
