Sinopsis

<p>Anyone involved in business will, at some point, have to prepare a business plan, whether it is to raise finance, sell a business or develop a specific project. While people are unlikely to invest solely in a beautiful document, they are very unlikely to support something that is scrappy, untidy and badly written.<br><br>Starting with the premise that there's only ever one chance to make a good impression, <i>How to Write a Business Plan </i>covers all the issues involved in producing a plan - from profiling competitors and forecasting market development, to the importance of providing clear and concise financial information.<br><br>Presented in a highly accessible format, <i>How to Write a Business Plan</i> also includes a full glossary, case histories and a detailed section on the related issue of how a company can best use internal business plans.</p>
