A business plan will include information about

  • The product or service being provided
  • The market size
  • Investment needed
  • The competition / Other companies providing a similar product or service
  • Pricing
  • Time taken to break even
  • Expected return on investment.

Starting a business

November 18th, 2008

All businesses however big they may be today, start small . During an economic boom, as paper money is generated in the stock market, it is often fashionable to start a business. If the founders of the business are good at marketing their idea, they may get funding and be able to over hype their idea in the market.

However, for a business to succeed in the long term it should:

  • Fulfill a need in the marketplace
  • There should be sufficient demand for the product or service
  • It should be economically feasible.
  • There should not be much competition
