The business plan is like a compass on the ship

Preparing a business plan is not a waste of time for bureaucratic procedures, but mainly helps the entrepreneur to clarify what is waiting for him.Preparing a business plan is not a waste of time for bureaucratic procedures, but mainly helps the entrepreneur to clarify what is waiting for him.

The best business plans contain many key information presented in as few sentences as possible. It is important not to write a business plan in an essay form, but to present as many relevant information as possible in the tables, charts and short paragraphs that state the facts. The business plan should not have more than 20 pages, but it can also be presented in the presentation format.

For every original entrepreneurial idea that gives birth to us, it does not mean that it is also a very good business opportunity. A business plan is a document that represents a systematic development of the idea into a business opportunity or a document that examines the potential of our idea. We prepare the business plan by getting involved in the business of our company for another three to five years.

The business plan must include the following chapters:

1. Summary of the business plan
2. Presentation of the product or services, businesses and industries
3. Market research and market analysis
4. Business economics
5. Marketing plan
6. Plans, design and development
7. Production and production plan
8. Company organisation and ownership
9. Schedule
10. Assessment of risks and problems
11. Financial plan.
