Without putting it in words, unwritten business plan is just wishful thinking. Therefore, the process of writing your business plan is just as important as the result because writing forces you to examine your assumptions and analysis more carefully. And although there’s no established template that is always used, any well-rounded business plan will include the following elements:
- A mission statement.
This is a statement that clearly expresses the exact nature of your business. It’s the guiding light for everything your business does. Regardless of the particular activity in which you are engaged you should be able to articulate how that activity relates to the mission statement.
