‘HOW TO START A BUSINESS’ SERIES
GUIDE 2
HOW TO: Write a Practical Business Plan

In this guide we will deal with the nuts and bolts of setting up a business plan and you’ll understand
why this is such a critical first step in establishing your business. As your business grows and
develops, you will refer back to this plan often, either to check that the business is still on track in
terms of strategy or you’re revising the business plan as your business methods improve, adapt and
change.
