The main purpose of a business plan is to gain funding, sponsors, or monetary support for your business. However, it is very useful as a roadmap for success. If you at least think about where your business is going and how your going to achieve that success you are more likely to succeed. It is the same concept that if you say you can do something or say you can't you will be correct either way. Wishing you the best in your endevors! |

Definately not best case scenario. If anything, go with worst-case scenario. The business plan is usually a tool the bank will use to determine if your company is worth investing in (if you're getting a loan to start the business up).
The plan should include all functions of the business with a focus on the major revenue streams and expense areas. You should also outline capital requirements at startup. A comparison of the results of similar businesses can be a good addition too.
There are books and software devoted to developing a business plan. I would recommend checking them out. |

There are two reasons. One is that a business plan is a good thing to have to show the bankers and equity investors. The other is that you want to state your expectations on paper today, so that two or three years later you can compare the reality with your expectations and determine whether you exceeded your expectations or came up short.
Some people use business plans for sanity checks. You give a business plan (or a summary) to people whose opinion you respect and listen to their critique of your thinking. |

just google Business Plan, it's not 'required' per se...but i think a study showed a very large percentage of businesses without plans failed compared with those who did have them. A business plan covers alot of stuff...to much to list off here. |

a good business plan is like a road map by which you out line your plans, directions and the method by which you are attempting to reach your targets (destination)
it will assist you and everybody involved with your plans in any way shape or form to understand where you are coming from and where you are planning to go with your business and most importantly how to get there from where you are today.
So if you have a destination in mind (what you think the business should look like when you are done with it) then you can reverse design how you are planning to reach your goals.
One of the best books I know on the topic is The "E" Myth by Micheal Gerber. Other sources for creating a good bisuness plan are on line and most of your local small business governament agencies.
Good Luck |

The business plan is a detailed document that helps you articulate your idea for a business. More importantly, it helps you identify and document some details of the business that you might not have thought of. For instance, you document how much your operating expenses will be monthy. When you add up rent, cell phones, truck rentals, heating, electricity, etc...it comes out to alot. A business plan will help you understand what the true cost of running your business will be. It also helps you think about things like marketing plans, competition, etc..
So, the business plan can be used to help you truely understand what you are getting into. It can also help convey your vision for a business to a banker or potential lender.
You can go to the sba.gov site for templates of business plans. |

So the bank has an idea you know what you are doing before it gives you money to open a business. |
