When you want to do your business then you plan your business and then work to plan. This helps you to track what is happening in your business so corrective actions can be taken from time to time. And don't get discouraged by what people tell you about not knowing business plan, because many great, successful businessman have no business plan and yet they have succeeded. Any high street bank will get you free information on this as well as some banks will give you free software to write one. Some banks have dedicated cells to help small businesses.

Answer 3

A business plan is just that, a plan for your business. A good business plan is a document you can take to a banker (or investor) and after reading it, the banker (or investor) will know what your business is all about and will be willing to loan you money (or invest in your business).

You can hire an attorney or a company specializing in business plans to write a business plan for you or you can write it yourself. If you do it yourself, I recommend that you can pick up a book about writing a business plan in any bookstore. There are many books that are specifically tailored to the type of business you are starting and they will have sample plans that you can adopt to use as your own.
