Your Business Plan

Anna Stubbs • March 1, 2024

An ever-changing business landscape can present unforeseen challenges for any business at any time. Identifying risks and opportunities in your business model and creating a Business Plan will help you prepare for difficulties or adversities and provide clarity in the event of a crisis in the future.

Now is an ideal time to document a clear Business Plan:

  1. Defining what you, as business owners, want from the business; this includes cash drawings, your role, hours of work and holidays.
  2. Establishing your budget to ensure you’re generating enough cash to cover all expenses including tax, personal expenses, loans and asset purchases.
  3. Determining your critical KPIs; the most important things you need to measure to track your progress towards achieving your targets.
  4. Identifying your opportunities and vulnerabilities; the factors that will most impact your business recovery.
  5. Determining how to manage your most critical challenges.
  6. Establishing your 12-month and 90-day goals to ensure you’re clear on your priorities.
  7. Clarifying your actions to achieve those goals.
