“A Strategic Business Plan, Does Your Business Have One?”

 

Discover one of the Important Basic Business Systems that every business should employ so they to are included in that small percentage of business’s that succeed today.

 

 

Did you know, 9 out of 10 Small Businesses Fail within the first year of business?  Unfortunately, businesses are not successful by accident.  Every business must have systems in place, thus yielding them the most profits, creating a happy staff and customers, and optimizing their business status.  At the heart of any true business should be a Plan.

 

What plan am I referring to, you may be asking? It’s a plan that every small business owner should take the time to establish.  This plan will provide the “what and how” their business is doing at any point in time?  It is called a Strategic Business Plan covering your total business operations. 

 

 

This Strategic Business Plan will form the basis of knowing what you are in business for, how you will conduct your business, the direction your business is heading short term and where you want to take your business in the future. 

 

It should be a “written” plan.  It would include defining your business mission, goals, objectives, and what strategies you plan to use on achieving your mission, goals & objectives.  It should also cover the tactics (systems) of how you’ll conduct your business covering a period of 12 months and less (short-term) and a period of three to five years (long-term).  Whether it is a short-term strategic plan or a long term strategic plan it is truly your business road map.

 

The Strategic Planning process involves the creation of the company Mission Statement, a SWOT (an acronym for its four sub-parts: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) or situational analysis, development of company objectives, which will determine the specific strategies, which are developed by action plans and systems (Money Management (accounting or record keeping), Budget System, Marketing System, Product Development System, Cash Flow Management System, and Customer Service System.

 

Usually the Strategic Business Plan is followed up with the establishment of an easy money management system (which relates to the accounting, bookkeeping) and the budget systems these are essential to improving the bottom line and complying with government requirements such as taxes. It’s a summary in numbers of your total business plan and where you want to go with your business dollar wise.
