Create a Business Plan

1) Clarity: a good business plan must communicate its contents easily and practically no chance 'of misunderstanding. The language used should be straightforward and easy to understand. A business plan must not be too long (never more 'than 70 pages!) Otherwise it' bankers he 's venture capital will ever read it.

2) Specificity ': the plan must submit a final goal with specific interim targets (milestones), characterized by concrete and measurable characteristics. Each milestone requires activities' specific, involving the appointment of managers, the allocation of budget and specific dates.

3) Credibility ': the activities' proposals for the development of business ideas and budget estimates must be credible and realistic. Objectives and programs of action does not deprive the realistic value of the tangible realization of the business plan.

4) Completeness: a business plan must include all information necessary for the development of business ideas, each part must be described with the right level of detail.

But is not 'over ...

You can follow all the suggestions to the letter you've just given you, but if you make a mistake you can just "burn" your only chance 'of success. For example, if you mess up the analysis of forecast cash flows, could jeopardize the whole idea of development. Speaking of cash is not 'how to talk about profits. History teaches that the wrong approach to the management of cash flow leads to a series of mistakes that could lead to big headaches for the company.

That must be avoided:
1) Ignore the direct and indirect competitors.
A competitive environment, companies can be controlled by a more careful analysis of the borrowers in dependence. This very confident attitude could lead to lack of foresight and / or vision of external factors that ultimately may have a negative impact on growth.

2) Write Business Plan as if they had market research.
There are entrepreneurs who write market research, rather than 'strategic business plans. Pages steeped in strategic terms (the first-mover advantage, leveraged revenue model, etc..). All technical terminology that creates "time-smoke but little roast" and that often has no connection with the practical and real case to be proposed to donors.

3) Present financial projections improbable.
For example, a plan where it is estimated a return of 100% or even more 'on investment for each of the next 5 years ... even if everything 'might actually happen, in the eyes of lenders appears unlikely.
Financial data consistent with industry standards of membership or extremely aggressive adversely affect the credibility 'of the same business plan and therefore the possibility' of obtaining funding drop drastically!

4) Do not protect the information contained in the Strategic Business Plan.
Moreover 'fundamental rule to safeguard the information contained in a Business Plan, signed by the readers of the plan (consultants or investors) a special agreement or a confidentiality clause'. Forget the "small print 'can' mean ... give others an idea of gold.
