Guidelines for Compiling a Business Plan

The purpose of a business plan is to produce a framework for a business idea, or to guide the implementation of business strategies. It is often a requirement for accessing loans (entrepreneurs and owners of start-up businesses) and to access grant funding (especially in the case of non-governmental and community-based organisations). The purpose of this resource is to provide users with a range of guidelines and templates to compile a professional and legitimate (value-adding) business plan. Image source: 123RF
