A business plan is perhaps one of the first and most critical documents a business owner ever has to write. Simply put, it is a detailed illustration of your vision for your business – what it stands for, its objectives, offering, customers, staff, leadership, action plan, and expected growth prospects. It is your blueprint for success. And success can have different meanings based on what you use it for – comprehensive business and operational strategy for, say, 18 months, employees in the company sharing the same vision, letter of intent from an investor, or a successful loan application.

For example, if you’re writing a business plan for an SBA loan application, they have issued a set format that you need to follow. If it is a franchise business plan, you may want to include details and success stories of the franchisor to make a strong business case. We write the following types of business plans:
