Creating a Business Plan How to create a business plan

Solution

Create a Business Plan that is as simple or as complicated as desired.
The main aim of a business plan is to create a clear view of the objectives of the business and
how to attain them. This will ensure that everyone who is collaborating with its implementation has
a clear view of the direction.
There are many examples and templates of Business Plans online. Pick the one you feel is most
appropriate for your organization.
Social enterprises tend to be resource­constrained organizations, so they can particularly benefit
from a business plan to communicate effectively with their stakeholders, including funders or
investors, customers, community, board, employees and volunteers.
