Six Steps to Writing a Business Plan

[Mika]

Writing a business plan means you are mainly writing about 6 important things.

Overview: You should begin by writing an overview. Include your business name, location, the business structure, and write what your company does. The overview should include your company’s mission.

Message: The message is what you are actually communicating to your customers. This section will include who exactly are your customers, how your products fit into their lives, and how you can solve their problems with your products.

Marketing: You should write about demographics and psychographics. Demography tells about your customers’ age, income, etc. whereas psychographics tells about their interests and desires.

Product: You might be trying to sell a lot of products (physical products, digital products, or services). However, you need to choose one primary product. This will help in business development and marketing. Identify your primary product; describe the results the product creates. Once you have written about your primary product, write about other products you are selling.

Productions and delivery: Your business plan needs to clearly mention whether you are manufacturing products or buying from suppliers

Goals: Your goal should be something like the number of sales, net profits, the impact of the products, etc.

Apart from these six important things, you can always include other points as well. However, you should never complicate things.

When I am writing a business plan, I mainly give emphasis on product development. When I am writing my product development plans I write everything related to product development, such as how I am going to develop the product, how I am going to manufacture the product, how I am going to acquire the raw materials, and if I am acquiring products, I will write how I am going to acquire the products.

Most businesses man are changing their business plan frequently even 5 times per year because they discovered what they write as instructions isn't a valid way for investing or loser way or competitors have updated such policy which reduces their sales then it is something to discuss and to update every time at every moment otherwise the company will not progress and this affects badly earnings or commissions or employee salaries. This is also one good step to mention in addition to points you have labeled in your article.
