You wouldn't build a house without a blueprint.
Why build a business without a business plan?
The Small Business Administration says:
The importance of a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan cannot be overemphasized. Developing a business plan will force you to think through some important issues that you may not otherwise consider. Your plan will become a valuable tool as you set out to raise money for your business, and it will provide milestones to gauge your success.
Building Your Business Plan was created specifically to help everyday people with the desire to start a business alone or with a few others to stop, think, and plan their business. It helps you to clarify your ideas and guides you, step by step, through the construction of a business plan. Presented in a clear, easy to understand style, Building Your Business Plan doesn’t just tell you what to do, it shows you!
You won’t just read this book. Instead you’ll use the worksheets, checklists, and examples to construct your plan part by part, just as a house is constructed board by board. You can do it, and this book will show you how!
Building Your Business Plan is the book you need to create a complete, well written, and sellable business plan. Whether you need to get a business loan or are just seeking focus in pursuing your business dream, Building Your Business Plan is the award-winning guide you've been looking for.
Building Your Business Plan was awarded Best of Show in the 32nd Annual Publication Competition by the Chicago Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication, their highest award!
