The Business Plan
| You are the most
significant element in developing your business plan, but many
people have difficulty getting their message across or assume
that others have certain knowledge that they do not.
If you are passionate about
your business (as you had better be), you may assume that
others have the same understanding and passion. |
|
Most will not have that
passion. You must build it and your business plan is the first
and perhaps only chance you will have to develop that passion. It
needs to be done right the first time because most of the time, you
only get one chance to make your impression.
We also recommend that businesses
conduct a 5-yr review of any current business plans that exist; more
often if there are significant changes to the company, the products,
or the market.
Inevitably, there are changes that
will have been made, visions that have been lost or modified, and
management must routinely revisit those elements that are drivers to
future business. A recently revisited business plan is also a
great way to reinforce the common goals and aspirations within and
for the company and its future.
Is outsourcing business plan
development expensive? It can be if you have nothing more than
a concept. Most entrepreneurs however. already have very well
developed fundamental business concepts in their head. They
know and understand their competition, and they have a pretty good
handle on market drivers. In that case, it is our job to
extract that information and develop the business cases that support
their ideas, uncover the pitfalls and weaknesses and suggest
solutions.
In some cases, we have to do much
more work. In situations where a client is expanding into a
new field or location or where the business processes have not been
laid out or developed, dBusiness Group must delve into market
dynamics including sociometrics and psychographics,
competitive analysis, and a complete financial package. The
costs are directly related to the amount of work to be done.
Of obvious consideration in
developing the business plan is the size/complexity of the business
plan. Developing a business plan for a proposed dot-com or new
clinic is far less involved than a plan aimed at launching a new
product that is the first of its kind.
Whatever your operation, initial
consultations are at no charge. We will begin to gather
information about your enterprise and give you an analysis of what
we can do for you along with an anticipated timeline and estimated
cost factors.
