    Business Plan Basics

    Why you absolutely need a business plan

    A business plan is a written description of your business’s future. That’s all there is to it—it’s a document that tells what you plan to do and how you plan to do it. If you jot down a paragraph on the back of an envelope describing your business strategy, you’ve written a plan, or at least the germ of a plan.
