  10. BUSINESS PLAN – What is it? • A report showing the plans of the business, often used to attract finance from investors and creditors • A document that is designed to provide information about a new business or venture to persuade financial backer to invest in a business • The business plan describes out the market opportunities the business intends to exploit, how it will do so and what resources are required

  11. Business plans & raising finance A business plan is essential to: • Persuade people to invest in an enterprise • Convince creditors about the credit worthiness of the enterprise

  13. Internal uses of a business plan • Clarify objectives • Provide a sense of direction, purpose and urgency • Plan all aspects and ensure that nothing is overlooked • Provide a checklist to help run and control the business • Monitor progress and success

  14. Internal uses of a business plan • Improve performance • Improve motivation and communication • Allocate responsibility • Better control and co-ordination and greater consistency • Failing to plan makes an organization reactive, vulnerable to threats and closed to opportunities
