“The purpose of planning is not to produce plans, but to produce results on a consistent basis.”

Business Planning

At Lawlor & Associates we believe that a professionally prepared business plan is essential to the success of any business. To operate a business without developing a business plan would be comparable to starting on a journey without a destination and without charting a course in advance.

Business planning serves the following three primary functions for the entrepreneur:

• The thought and work that it takes to prepare your business plan forces you to take a critical, objective look at your business proposal;
• The finished business plan will act as an operating tool that will help you manage your business and work effectively towards the achievement of your goals; and
• The business plan, if it is well done, will be an effective tool that can be used when you are presenting your financing requirements to investors, bankers and government representatives.

A business plan covers all of the following topics thoroughly:

• Executive Summary
• The Business
• The Products and/or Services
• The Market
• The Marketing/Promotion
• The Competition
• The Management
• The Financials/Projections
• The Offering
• The Appendices

During the process of preparing your business plan, Lawlor & Associates personnel work closely with you in a consultative manner, to ensure that the plan is your plan and that it accurately reflects your vision for your business.
