Great post – there are some really solid reasons why writing a business plan is beneficial (even if you haven’t had to in the past). In any respect, even if you don’t hand your business plan in to a bank or potential investors, it’s a good way to organize all your thoughts, and make sure you know what you’re talking about. Keep it short and simple – you can’t go wrong with a simple business plan.

Great point Michael – you’ve highlighted a trap that most of us entrepreneurs fall into in all spheres of business… doing everything on our own & not seeking objective outside advice.

I agree with you. I do think a business plan is key, especially when you are trying to get investors. But I also think a tip you should mention is to have a TRUSTWORTHY source review your completed business plan before showing others.

My wife and I have been running our own business for years. And we had a business plan but since the economy took a fall, we decided to have an outside observer review our original business plan. After doing so, we realized we didn’t address, in writing, how to earn profits even during the rough times we live in today.

So we went back to our plan, made edits, and added how to earn profits under such circumstances. Once we did tthe profits started flowing again.

So hope this benefits your readers as much as it helped us out!
