How to Write a Great Business Plan

How to Write a Great Business Plan

How to Write a Great Business Plan
By:"William Andrews Sahlman"
Published on 2008 by Harvard Business Press

Judging by all the hoopla surrounding business plans, you'd think the only things standing between would-be entrepreneurs and spectacular success are glossy five-color charts, bundles of meticulous-looking spreadsheets, and decades of month-by-month financial projections. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, often the more elaborately crafted a business plan, the more likely the venture is to flop. Why? Most plans waste too much ink on numbers and devote too little to information that really matters to investors. The result? Investors discount them. In How to Write a Great Business Plan, William A. Sahlman shows how to avoid this all-too-common mistake by ensuring that your plan assesses the factors critical to every new venture: · The people--the individuals launching and leading the venture and outside parties providing key services or important resources · The opportunity--what the business will sell and to whom, and whether the venture can grow and how fast · The context--the regulatory environment, interest rates, demographic trends, and other forces shaping the venture's fate · Risk and reward--what can go wrong and right, and how the entrepreneurial team will respond Timely in this age of innovation, How to Write a Great Business Plan helps you give your new venture the best possible chances for success.

The Business Plan Workbook

The Business Plan Workbook

The Business Plan Workbook
By:"Colin Barrow","Paul Barrow","Robert Brown"
Published on 2005 by Kogan Page Publishers

The Business Plan Workbook has established itself as the essential guide to business planning for students and entrepreneurs alike. Drawing on the experience, knowledge and expertise of the Enterprise Faculty within Cranfield School of Management, it brings together the processes and procedures required to write a business plan. With an emphasis on practicality, it contains 20 assignments with several worksheets and examples from the business plans of sucessful entrepreneurs. Cranfield has developed and tested this method of helping people to research and validate their business ideas, and then to write up a plan themselves, so the book itself is based on sound principles. Without a business plan, no bank or venture capital house will consider a loan for start-up or expansion, and the workbook contains the criticisms, warnings and experiences of investors as well as successful entrepreneurs.
