Business Plans

I Already Have a Business. Do I Need a Plan?

A recent study of over 11,000 companies found that companies that plan grow 30 percent faster than those that don’t plan. This study found that plenty of businesses can find success without planning, but that businesses with a plan grew faster and were more successful than those that didn’t plan.

To reinforce the connection between planning and fast growth, yet another study found that fast-growing companies—companies that had over 92 percent growth in sales from one year to the next—usually have business plans. In fact, 71 percent of fast-growing companies have plans. They create budgets, identify supply chains, set sales & marketing goals, properly staff, and document their strategy.

A Business Plan Brings You The Following

Let’s Go Out of Business

Flying Blind

Operating without a business plan can be detrimental for several reasons. Firstly, it leaves your business without a clear direction and strategy, making it challenging to set goals and allocate resources effectively. Secondly, the absence of a well-defined plan can lead to inefficient (costly) resource management, hindering your ability to prioritize activities and invest wisely.

Additionally, a business plan serves as a vital communication tool, both internally and externally, enabling you to convey your vision, goals, and strategies to stakeholders, team members, and potential investors.

Without a plan, your business may lack focus, struggle to secure funding, and miss out on crucial growth opportunities, ultimately impeding its long-term success and sustainability.
