Purpose
Developing your Plan A business plan is a major contributor to the success of a company. A good plan allows a start-up company to examine the viability of the business and helps to determine how to attain business goals.

The business plan helps to determine the feasibility of your business idea. The business plan not only helps predict the roadblocks needing to be overcome, but also whether the venture should be profitable. The level of funding, and type of source such as Venture Capital vs. Banks, can also be determined.

The business plan is not just for outsiders, it should be used internally as a guide, or rather a plan for your business. This will help you to achieve the goals you have established for your venture.
Sales Tool
The business plan will be required to sell your idea to potential lenders, investors, management, and to obtain future business partners. It is also helpful when securing a lease.
Initial Steps

b) Gather the industry research
c) Research the background data and then organize it into the "standard" business plan format
d) Write the plan, edit it again and again, and then get it spell checked professionally
