Zeifmans Technology & Startups team share the importance of implementing a business plan

Are you launching a new startup? Expanding an existing business? If so, implementing a business plan is an important step to help direct your decisions today and for the future. A common mistake new business owners experience is establishing a business plan that includes unreasonable expectations with the belief that investors are solely focused on exponential growth, or worse, not developing a business plan at all. Your business needs a roadmap to help evaluate where your business is today and where it will be tomorrow.

Commonly referenced studies, surveys and opinions suggest that formal planning doubles a startup business’ odds of survival or that those existing businesses that operate with formal plans, on average, grow 30 per cent faster than those that do not have formal plans.[1] So then, why wouldn’t you put a plan in place?

Today, Zeifmans Technology & Startups team share the importance of having and implementing a business plan, as well as, strategies and concerns business owners need to be aware of when developing and executing said plan, to ensure the success of your startup.
