As part of my shoestring project I had to put together a business plan. I found that putting together a business plan was extremely helpful for me, it helped point out ares for improvement, large sectors which were missing, customer profiling and target markets and areas which were obvious to help develop my business. I found that if you write up a business plan though and you change your whole business idea it won't work out well and by creating a business plan there is always going to be the opportunity for a big change within the business.
Business plans are important as they will help build upon your business but if you are applying for loans or grants through banks or the Princess trust then they will need to see evidence of business ideas to see if it complies and meets with the needs that they are asking for. Also they need to see if the business in which you are offering to them is going to produce the money to either pay back or succeed so that they can see their money isn't being wasted.
A business plan doesn't need to be a large document it just needs to have a brief over view of what there is to be offered within the business. I found that the business plan I produced I was able to go in depth and find ways to develop and improve upon my business idea.
