A business plan is a map in running your business. This is a plan that will guide you on you are going to do WHAT, WHEN and HOW to do it. A business plan will also assist you in seeing more clearly about the type of business to be your path, who will become your customer, and what products or services you will offer.

If you plan to borrow funds to start your business, whether it be from a bank or investor, then you must make a formal business plan (formal business plan). Formal business plan will provide a summary of business and market, then will discuss in details about your products, customers and market share (market), suppliers, estimates of profits, competition analysis, and others. Formal business plan can be reached 20 pages and take months to complete.

On the other hand, small business owners do not need to create a formal business plan to start their business. Often they create a business plan in the form of notes during a brainstorming or in outline form. To get started, this is enough.

The important thing is to write a plan. Often small business owners start a business without a plan at all, so their ideas become blurred and they do not know what they should do next. By writing a plan, though it be a brainstorming notes, you will get a clearer picture about the kind of business you want, and how the business should grow over time.

Here are the things you should think about when writing your business plan:

1. What business would you start? Stores? Professional services? Website Online?

2. What is the purpose of your business? A business can be started as fun, but if you want to take advantage, you must know why you started your business. Is it to meet the specific needs of customers? Or create something that has never existed before?

3. How will your business make money? Are you going to sell a product, and if so what? You will get the product from where? At what price you will buy the product and how much will you sell?

4. Who will be your customers? Knowing your customers is the main thing in writing a business plan. If you know that your customers are those with limited income, you certainly can not sell products or services at millions of dollars. Knowing who your customers, will also assist in carrying out your advertising and marketing activities.

5. How will you get those customers? For example, if you plan to call him one by one, or you will hire a great sales team? You have to know how you will get customers. If not, your business will not grow.

Of course the points above are just basic steps in making a business plan, but these points is paramount
