Getting Started

Tips 1 through 7

1.) Rome Wasn't Planned, Funded, and Built in One Day

The process of putting together a coherent Business Plan will probably take longer than you estimate. If you think you can do it in a month, it will progably take two months. And that is precisely why the process is valuable. Along the way you will probably stop and say, "you know, we haven't really thought our strategies out very well, have we?" or "we don't really know our competition as well as we thought we did," and you will take the time to hone your strategies and get up to speed on the competition before you finish the plan and present it. On The Right Track

Tips 8 through 18

9.) The Plan is Your Baby -- It Needs To Look Like You

The business plan should reflect the personality of your management team, and the type of company you want to create. As the reader goes through it, he should get to know the people, involved in the company, their vision, their objectives, and their enthusiasm for the company and the industry.

Tips 19 through 21

19.) Don't make the assumption that the reader can understand your assumptions.

Tips 22 through 26

24.) Plans Written By Committee Seldom Look Pretty It is always a good idea to obtain input on the plan from the other key members of your management team-your marketing expert, your finance guru, the guy who brings the bagels in the morning- but it is not a good idea for each of these people to go off and work on their own independent drafts of the Plan to somehow be assembled into one document later. What you will end up with is, well, a mess. A better method is to work off one draft, upon which each person is allowed to suggest comments or make edits. Some word processing software even lets you track each person's changes in different colors, so you can tell which person commented that your brilliant marketing strategies were "lame". Almost There
