Be Honest. As your business plan is often used to show to investors and potential business partners, it can be tempting to exaggerate or think extremely (overly) optimistically when (you forecast)predicting your figures, #2. Show off everyone. Running a start-up requires specific skills and investors will want to know your business has all the foundations to be successful, so show off your staff, #3. Have an awesome executive summary. This is the section where you sum up the entire business plan, #4. Know your market and identify your rivals. It’s essential that you know your market and your target customer, #6. Demonstrate how you are going to market it. You may be the best plumber, coffee maker or web designer in the world, but if no one knows about you, then the customers will continue to go to the same places they always did, #7. Keeping it simple – The writing style in a business plan. A business plan should be written in a simple and easy-to-understand style, #8. Be realistic. No matter who the intended reader of your business plan is and why you are constructing it, be always realistic in your goals, objectives, growth potential, results, etc, #9. Plan for problems. You should always be prepared for problems that arise quickly.
