My book (and e-book), Planning to Win – a guide to business planning and financial modelling, explains exactly what you need to do – and how to do it – to prepare a professional business plan. This is not the easy way to prepare a plan. There are many other guides and templates to do that. This shows you how to produce a very professional document, backed by an equally professional financial model, for your new or existing business. The guide contains numerous examples, from my experience over 25 years, of what happens in the real world. They are what my target audience – practical business people and entrepreneurs – like most. The guide includes a model business plan. The financial spreadsheet model that supports it – and is described throughout the text – is available free from my website. Both contain many novel features not included in standard texts on business planning.
