Business Planning

What’s a Business Plan?

A business plan is like a map, It’s not just a piece of paper; it’s a guide to where you want your business to go and explains the story of how you are going to grow your business. At Together Accounting, we help to create that bespoke business map with your needs in mind. We work hard to make the process simple and clear for you regardless of whether you are a startup or a business owner who wants to revamp or refresh where you are at, so take a moment to find out more about our business plan approach and what it can offer you.

How We Help with Business Plans

Every business is different, so every plan should be tailored to your specific needs and that is something that one of our business plan experts can offer. Here’s how we use our business plan services to help at Together Accounting:

• We help you set financial goals that ensure the greatest chance of success, but also push your business to grow.

How We Create a Business Plan

A good business plan changes as your business does, working as a roadmap that shows potential investors the journey you are going on. Here’s how we think about every business plan before we get started:

• We start by thinking about where you want your business to be in 3-5 years.
• At the next stage, we focus on the next 6 months in detail, making sure your plans are achievable.
• We also think about the bigger picture for the next year to increase your chances of the best outcomes.
• We’ll check in regularly to make sure the plan still makes sense and help you understand the plan in depth so that you can confidently move forward.

Why Bother with a Business Plan?

Many types of businesses start out without a plan and fail in the first six months because they didn’t take the time to think about financials, cash flow or failed to come up with a marketing strategy that works. If you want to give your business the best chance, a plan will help you to get funding, stay organised and build a business that thrives. In short, a good plan helps you:

• Stay focused, even when things get tough.
• Remember what you’re working towards so that you start your business the right way.
• Make sure your business is heading in the right direction.
