Each person has such that an interesting idea or some kind of project has arisen in his head. He immediately wants to realize it, he thinks in his head about how much and what he will need for realization and what the profit will be, etc. In order to save the planned plans and not to lose the idea, you need to make a business plan.
Defining a business plan is not very difficult and very simple. This is a plan of your project, which reflects all your ideas and small details. Expenses, income, business development, and so on.
To make a business plan, you need to answer three main questions: What do you want from the project, how to get it and by what means and forces.
Drawing up a business plan is a tedious and boring thing. Professionals are engaged in it, but we will try to make the simplest plan of our actions in a new business.
In general, a business plan is needed in order to assess what difficulties will meet you on the path of implementation and to attract investors. Investors need to be convinced that your project is unique and profitable, otherwise it will not want to invest in a questionable project without a business plan.
Four main stages:
1. The idea of the project. Describe what you will do and who needs it to use. At this stage, consider whether you can handle it alone or you need partners. An example, you want to collect and sell chairs. To make a chair, you need wood, which means you need to agree with the woodworking industry on the supply of blanks for the assembly of chairs to you. There is wood. We need working hands to assemble the chair, the design of which was invented by the designer and so on. You need labor.
2. Market research. We decide who buys your product, at what price, and how your product differs from competitors' products. The example with chairs will be the most successful. The variety of chairs is very large, and in order to buy your own chair, you need to think of something new in this business and surprise the buyer, bypassing competitors.
3. Finance. Mark how much money you need to start the case and collect the first batch of chairs. Determine for what price you will sell the first batch, calculate how much you will get profit and whether it will cover all costs during assembly, and whether you have enough to pay wages to your staff.
4. Actions. Do not rush to immediately implement the project. Let him lie down for a while. After a while, you will return to it with new thoughts and maybe something will fix and change. To get started, just think about what, where, when, in what quantity and at what price you will buy for your business.
Drawing up even the simplest business plan can take a long time, constantly adjusting and adding new thoughts.
