Are you starting a new business?

Are you looking for investors or lenders?

Your plan should describe current operations, past performance and show how invested capital or loans will bring company success and make money for the investor or lender.

In your plan, you should define your company's mission, evaluate the company's market, current business situation, strengths and weaknesses, decide where you want to be in three-five years and chart a course for growth. Even if you have enough capital for your current finance and growth needs, the plan provides you with goals and guide posts as you meet and beat new business challenges. Depending on your investor or lender, you may only need a two page business analysis, but to increase your chances of success, a well thought out and detailed plan is extremely important.

Here is a simple business plan outline:
