1.2 How Does a Business Plan Help?

A well-researched business plan is an excellent tool to describe key elements of your company, such as capital needs, product-to-market fit, competition, marketing plans, and potential to make a profit or realize an exit.

It is recommended that entrepreneurs revisit and revise their business plans as the company grows, as they gather new and different information and experience, and as the market changes. This allows for more flexibility, strategic planning, and pivoting.
