Why is a Business Plan needed?
A business plan is your roadmap to success. Without it, you run an extreme risk of not getting where you intend to. This is your guidebook. It is something that can easily be changed but, more importantly, will keep you on track. A business plan is essential to developing the business and the dream that you envision.
