What is a Business Plan?

strategy-business-man-icon-greyblue

A business plan is an essential document for describing aims and objectives – enabling the measurement of process toward achieving them.

The business plan provides the means to:

  • Appraise the present and future of the business
  • Define short and long-term objectives
  • Establish a framework for action to achieve those objectives

Why is a Business Plan important?

A business plan is a living document that should be continuously reviewed in light of the environment and actual observed results. It is vital for directors and key stakeholders to oversee all aspects of business performance and manage it more effectively.

A current analysis ensures accurate real-market conditions and value. It contains 3 essential elements:

  • Marketing plan
  • Operations plan
  • Financial plan

Do I need a SWOT analysis?

A SWOT analysis should be integrated both at the beginning of the business plan, as well as on a continual basis for monitoring and modifications due to the dynamic external conditions of the environment in which your company is positioned and of your internal environment.

Your company’s strengths and weaknesses are detailed in a comprehensive analysis of:

  • Strengths
  • Weaknesses
  • Opportunities
  • Threats

  • Firstbase listened to my unique situation and then delivered concepts that worked. Their approach was simple but they dove into the project with a full understanding of what the end-goal was. And boy did they deliver! I’m very excited about the new website, the design is modern, elegant, and functional. It does everything I wanted it to do.

  • A year ago I had the great opportunity to find out about Firstbase Services and what they could do for my small business. I was at a crossroad as to how to grow my business effectively so I decided to take the leap and have them formulate a plan to rebrand my product and give my company a chance to grow. Well, using Firtsbase turned out to be the best decision I ever made!
