Every business needs a Business Plan. No matter what type of business you're in (or want to be in), you need a solid business plan to guide you, your investors and your partners. Consider this: a recent study showed that of all the businesses that fail every year, over two-thirds of them did not have a written business plan. With stats like these, it's easy to see why nearly every business expert in the world recommends writing a business plan. A good business plan will: - Show investors that you are serious about your venture. - Act as a blueprint for operating your business. - Lure top partners and talent. - Keep employees and suppliers on the same page. Even if you already have a venture that is up and running, or are part of a larger company, it is never too late to plan for the next stage in your business lifecycle.
Creating a Business Plan can take lots of time and money
If you have ever written a business plan before, you know how time-consuming it can be. Most so called "business plan software" is costly and takes more time to learn than it does to write the actual plan. Paying a consultant saves some time, but is very expensive and prohibits you from crafting the business message yourself - something that investors can spot right away.
We created our Business Plan template package to avoid these problems, while still making the writing process much easier. Why our package is better than the rest? First, our templates are all in Microsoft Word and our spreadsheets are in Excel. This means they are highly flexible and easy to use. There is no new software to learn and printing is simple. Second, we include a detailed reference guide for each section of the business plan. The tone of the guide is conversational, and feels like you have your own personal consultant sitting next to you, guiding you through every step. Third, the financials section, which often gives entrepreneurs the most trouble, is extremely thorough and easy to understand. After reading our 70 page reference guide for this section, you won't just have "spit-out" the numbers, you'll know what each on means. This is invaluable information to have when you are being questioned by investors that want to see whether you actually understand the finances of your business. Finally, we've kept the formatting very simple, so you can delete any section you don't need. We've left out useless graphs and charts that you can't get rid of, and only serve to confuse your reader. Instead, we provide step-by-step instructions for how you can create your own graphs using Microsoft Word's embedded tools - where and how you want them.  Our Business Plan Template is complete
