Every business, large or small, should develop a detailed Business Plan. Think of a Business Plan as your vision formalized on paper. Write it, ponder it, refine it. But get it down on paper. You'll be amazed at how the process of forcing yourself to answer hard questions will help you shape a sound business.

A good Business Plan will serve as your road map to success. A good Business Plan will keep your eyes focused on the prize, keep your priorities and expenditures on track, and help you attract investors and financing.
