BUSINESS PLANSYour business plan is a statement of business intent. Used properly, it serves as a general plan to inform stakeholders [customers, suppliers, and bankers] what the business is about. Your business plan should be updated at least once a year. MIRA makes this both interesting and helps you develop meaningful insight along the way. We prepare Business Plans that cover your entire operation, including a statement of purpose, business location, and ownership, profile of the firm, industry analysis, and critical success factors. We cover the organization, management, responsibilities, job descriptions, market analysis, fiscal policy, and financial projections. A well-managed business plan helps control expenses and cash flows, right-size your operations, and properly plan for the future. Our research revealed that 45% of business owners say, "my business plan and strategy are here in my head." Okay, but who can read your mind? Your customers, suppliers, attorney, accountant, or banker? Not having a business plan is like flying through fog without instruments: Precariously risky. By the time you notice you have a problem, it's probably too late! Business plans reduce risk. Statistically speaking, 80% business failures start without a business plan. A staggering 95% folded because they didn't adequately plan for the future. They were often too busy "running things" to see what was lurking just over the horizon. REGULATORY COMPLIANCECompliance with government agencies can certainly be a nettlesome task. There have been cases where business owners were not even aware that they were breaking the law. Don't be caught in this situation. FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS (Pro Forma)Your Pro Forma is your most important financial forecasting and planning tool. Smart business managers use this valuable and necessary tool to establish financial goals and track results. Most importantly, it helps you determine YOUR future and YOUR Profits. The pro forma also helps you and others understand the current and future value of your business over the next three, five, or ten years based on sales, profits, equipment purchases, and cash flow.
