The Business Plan

A business plan does not have to be an all singing, all dancing bible of a document, nor does it have to predict the future with uncanny accuracy – it does however, have to have a sound basis and be an extension of your drive and objectives. 

Things to consider when drafting a business plan:

  • Cash – has always been, still is and always will be KING.  A business will not grow without it – keeping both advisers and your bank on-side is critical.
  • Flexibility – always expect change – never be so rigid that you cannot react to changes in all areas of the business.
  • Teamwork – this applies equally to your staff as to the advisors around you, including the accountant, bank manager and lawyer – all successful entrepreneurs build a good advisory team around them – no-one does it alone.
  • Attitude - you and your teams attitude is fundamental to achieving your growth plan – it requires patience, tenacity and passion.
  • Your ultimate goal – don’t get drawn into the detail, keep focussed on the overall objective.
