Making A Small Business Plan For Financial Success

by Jack Metcalfe

Having a good small business plan will ensure that your journey to success is much smoother. All successful business owners know that having an organized, well thought plan is essential to see the results they expect. Even if the business plan doesn't give the results that you would have thought in the beginning, you can tweak and change different areas of your process to perfect it.

Strategy Formulation is a fundamental process that identifies the critical areas to be addressed and sets the priorities for the business across an agreed strategy period.By focusing on the key areas that are identified as part of this process, the effective manager and business owner ensures laser-like focus in achieving results.The small business plan integrates and aligns all the business activities around these critical areas and ensures that all effort is targeted, contained and understood by everyone in the business.Having a plan is critical. It ensures that the right things get done, within the time frames allotted, and allows for the emergence of new initiatives when the plan is reviewed.

This review period should be in keeping with the rates of change that the business encounters around the factors experienced in both its internal and external environments.Given that this is clearly understood, and that any gaps in capability have been identified, the small business plan is written with seven critical components in mind.Determine Where You Are Now.This is simply a list that identifies and spells out where the business currently finds itself in relation to a particular critical issue. An example might be sales and marketing, for instance. The list, in bullet point form, spells out what is being done, at present, in relation to these activities. All critical issues facing the business should be analyzed, in turn.

I am writing this guide in small sections to allow you to follow the plan in your own time. This article will demonstrate the complete overview of what you will need to consider when writing your small business plan.

Objectives.By analyzing the gaps between the two lists we have created, we are able to identify the main objectives that must be achieved to fulfill our vision across the agreed time frame. These gaps must be managed well as part of the business performance management process and the business development and risk management profile.

Tasks.Objectives must be broken down into a series of tasks and jobs that need to be completed to ensure that the given objective is met. These tasks must be specific, agreed, realistic, targeted and have accountabilities and responsibilities clearly assigned to them.

Financial: This is a key section and should clearly demonstrate your total costing's, direct expenses, projected stock holding (if applicable), accounting methods, sales tables and your sales targets and company budget controls.Timetable: When writing your business plan, you will need to focus on 'forward planning'. This will encompass you projecting a timetable of development .where do you see your company in 5 years for example.

Accountabilities and Responsibilities.All the tasks must be assigned to people who take responsibility for getting them completed within the agreed time frames. The successful small business has developed a culture where the taking of personal responsibility for an assigned task is simply a given.

In my next article we shall begin attacking each aspect of the business plan in detail beginning with your business aims.I hope you find this resource useful and remember, taking a week or so to write your small business plan will save you time AND money in the future.
