Sample Business Plans

The business plan is not just for business start-ups. The truth is you don’t need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to establish your enterprise. You just need the right strategy and approach to reach the customers most likely to spend on your products and services.

Developing a business plan for an established business serves several purposes:

  • A plan is an opportunity to carefully think through every step to achieving your goals for your company. This is your chance to discover any weaknesses that may threaten your business, identify opportunities you may not have considered, and plan how you will deal with challenges that are likely to emerge.

  • It can help convince investors or lenders to finance your business, persuade a business buyer to purchase your business, or entice partners or key employees to join your company.

  • Most importantly, it serves as a roadmap guiding the growth and continued success of your business throughout its next stages.
