YOU NEED A BUSINESS PLAN FOR YOUR BUSINESS!

Having your personal business is great but having a business plan for your business is even more wonderful. A business plan is a comprehensive formal written document which contains business goals and how these goals can be achieved. It describes the nature of the business, its background information, its financial projection and the marketing strategies it intends to implement to achieve the stated targets. In a nutshell, the document provides a roadmap and direction for the business.

If you have a business idea or an existing business without a business plan, you haven’t got a business yet. Whether your intention is to float a large-scale, medium scale or micro business, you need a business compass to guide you through to success. Without it, your probability of success is very low while your probability to quit the business when faced with bad business weather is very high. To avoid this, you need to write a business plan.

Second, you need capital for your existing business or business idea. Fortunately, the Social Exchange Market (SEM) has provided opportunity through donor agencies and venture capitalists to entrepreneurs who have great business ideas but lack the required capital to execute them. These donor agencies and venture capitalists include, among others, the World Bank, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF). A number of SEM syndicate companies/NGOs are currently in operation in Nigeria but how many entrepreneurs even know they do exist? We understand that some of these companies are not genuine. They collect form/training fees from unsuspecting entrepreneurs and cart away all their money without fulfilling their promises of disbursing grants to them (the entrepreneurs).

This is pathetic though, notwithstanding, there are a number of them who are genuine and sincere. We are not permitted to recommend any but you may take your time to search them out diligently.

All of these syndicate companies/NGOs would request that you write and submit a Business Plan and also fill some forms including:

Production/Operation Plan
Cost Forecast/Analysis
Analysis of Cost Price and Analysis of Sale Price per item
Sales Forecast/Analysis
Marketing Plan
Profit/Loss Plan/Analysis
Cash Flow Plan, etc.

To generate reliable information for the above requirements, you would first of all, need to come up with a comprehensive Business Plan. Without this plan, it will amount to sheer guess work trying to fill these forms. To this end, McBrandon Business Consulting is poised to give you the needed assistance in writing your own Business Plan.
