5 BENEFITS OF WRITING A BUSINESS PLAN AND WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT NOW

October 13, 2019 //  by Geoff

In the world of business, goals are achieved through carefully laid out plans. Most people believe that plans are only made at the inception of a venture. This is an erroneous perception. Businesses grow because they have carefully drawn out business plans, and for every goal or target a business seeks to achieve, there must be a strategically designed plan.

A business without a plan is destined to fail. The world’s most successful establishments spend millions paying experts and analysts to devise business strategies that will take their businesses to the next level. Plans are the only way to keep businesses alive and guarantee success.

Five reasons why you should write a plan for your business now

1. It defines the business.

Whether it is a startup or an established enterprise, a business plan paints a clear picture of the current state of the business. It gives the business vision and puts everything in focus. It defines the parameters within which it functions, identifies its strengths and weaknesses as well as assets and liabilities and clearly states how to advance the business to the next level. A business plan gives direction to the establishment and helps determine the strategic moves you need to make to grow it.

2. It breaks down the strategies for growth and development.

Strategies like marketing, sales, advertising, website design, manufacturing, distribution, outsourcing and the likes are all detailed in business plans. These are the actions taken that make a business grow and develop.

3. It helps to set priorities

Business planning is very important to help set priorities and follow through on relevant tasks. It enables you to focus on the important things that generate profit and ensure growth as opposed to spreading yourself thin over tasks that yield little or no return at all. It is also very necessary in determining how scarce resources of time, money and effort should be strategically channeled toward profitable ventures.

4. It enforces financial management

Financial management is the powerhouse of any business. Poor money management will sink a business faster than any loss or setback it can experience. It is necessary to continually keep finances in order, and the only way to ensure this is to draft a good plan and adhere to it. It also ensures that you prepare and file your taxes correctly and accurately.

5. It ensures accountability and protects the integrity of a business

Having a business plan ensures that you are answerable for every action you take in the business either for harm or for its betterment. A business plan is a map designed to achieve specific business goals and reach desired targets. There are expectations to be met and actions to be taken to get there. It ensures that you assume and maintain a sense of responsibility and accountability to the business.

Conclusion

Running a business without a plan is like painting in pitch darkness. Every business needs definition and direction, and a well-drawn business plan provides this and more. Businesses need a plan from the beginning and a plan for every goal and target it sets out to achieve. Without one, a business is doomed to fail.
