Business Planning

What is Your Plan for Success?

Many have tried setting up their own businesses but not every one who did so have actually succeeded. As a matter of fact, statistics reveal that:

50% of new businesses close up in less than two years, and
90% of all new businesses close up in less than five years!

Now you must be thinking, what must be the secret to putting up a successful business? Why do so many new businesses die after just 2 to 5 years of existence? How did the remaining 10% do it – surviving the first five critical years of their life and eventually evolving into successful, rewarding and valuable long-term businesses for the owners?

What helped those business owners to become part of that successful 10% is actually one of the most important things new business owners always tend to overlook. The special element that every committed business owner should have, which is:

A comprehensive business plan!

Specifically, a business plan that:

Clearly defines and articulates the commercial value of the business, and
Establishes a roadmap and timetable for the growth and success of the business.

What difference does a business plan make in the success of your business? Those who usually overlook the importance of a sound business plan most likely end up:

Running out of start-up capital,
Running out of sufficient cash flow to keep the business afloat,
Not focusing on the right areas of the business at the right times,
Not having the right resources and expertise in place to support and drive the business, and
Not having plans in place to deal with market changes, problems or conflicts when they occur.

And with so many stakes at hand – time, money, effort and all the risks you have invested in your business will all just be put to waste when this happens. Comprehensive plans prevent that and will actually serve as your guide to the growth and continued success of your business.
