Starting a new business can be overwhelming, but getting all your thoughts down on paper will make it that much easier. A business plan takes all your great ideas and contextualises them for business purposes.

This business plan will help you get into the nitty-gritty of what you need to make your business a success. For example, you'll be forced to have answers to questions like:

• What is the minimum number of clients/customers you need ideally to start making a profit?

• Will you have any distribution, travel or premises costs?

• Who are your competitors?

As you answer these questions in the planner, you will gain more clarity about your business and be better prepared to go it alone.
