Why have a business plan? The answer is you don’t! A lot of incredibly successful entrepreneurs don’t use them as they feel confident with their business idea and have access to funds to start up instantly.

For most of us who don’t have thousands in the bank, a business plan can be use to access money from the people who give out grants, loans, investors and lets face it friends and family.

The other reason to have a business plan is to have a good look at every part of the business and see if it has a chance of success i.e. will it make enough profit for the owner take the wage they desire.

The business plan is the first major stumbling block people come up against after the initial idea. Many people think of business plans as this huge financial document full of graphs, charts and complicated mathematical equations, which simply is not the case.

Any person wanting to start a small business is capable of writing a business plan good enough to get some sort of funding. In this blog I will not only show you how to write your business plan, but also give you practical business advice.
