A business plan is a comprehensive, written description of the business of an enterprise. It is a detailed report on a company’s products or services, production techniques, markets and clients, marketing strategy, human resources, organization, requirements in respect of infrastructure and supplies, financing requirements, and sources and uses of funds.
The business plan describes the past and present status of a business, but its main purpose is to present the future of an enterprise. It is normally updated annually and looks ahead for a period of usually three to five years, depending on the type of business and the kind of entity.
It is a crucial element in any application for funding, whether to a venture capital organization or any other investment or lending source. Therefore, it should be complete, sincere, factual, well structured and reader-friendly.
