Professionally Written Business Plan

                                                        PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN BUSINESS PLAN

Thinking of starting a new business?

In the current economic climate as increasing amounts of jobs are in jeopardy, many people are turning to self employment or setting up their own companies, which is great! The rewards for doing so can be huge both financially and personally. I can honestly say I have never met an extremely rich employee, but I have met many extremely rich business owners and entrepreneurs.

BUT, one statistic we cannot ignore is that approximately 1 in 10 new businesses fail within their first year! WHY? I believe that it is due to poor planning – after all there are not many problems that cannot be overcome, as long as we can plan for them in advance.

Some ideas are GREAT some are awful! (and we’ll give you our honest opinion!)

We have prepared hundreds of business plans over many years, and have come across some great ideas and some terrible ones, but some points we consistently see are:

1. Failure to account for and understand the true costs of running the business i.e overheads, product costs, insurances etc
2. A too optimistic view of what sales are likely to be! We often hear “ my business will turnover £100,000 in the first year!” it is only when we ask the question “HOW?” that we can really understand what turnover will actually be.
3. Lack of understanding of tax, how & when payments are likely to be due, and how you can plan to minimise these.
4. What the structure of the business should be i.e sole trader, partnership, limited company etc and how to set up these types of businesses.

Why have a business plan?

For many reasons for example:

1. To put into place a plan of action regarding how to start your business and the elements involved.
2. To ensure that the business will be profitable, and if not, what can you do to help ensure it will be.
3. Calculate the start-up costs involved in the business.
4. Provide presentations to banks, building societies and investors for funding.
5. Tax planning
