			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are starting a multi-million dollar corporation or a roadside lemonade stand, everyone can benefit from having a formal business plan.<span> </span>In fact, it should be the very first step in establishing any new business.<span> </span>Here are three reasons why: <span id="more-72"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in"><span><span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>A Business Plan Contains Feasibility Research.</strong><span> </span>The process of creating your business plan allows you to better understand the feasibility of your business idea.<span> </span>Unfortunately, not all new ventures are going to be successful because of outside factors, such as location, market trends, etc.<span> </span>By identifying this early on, you can save yourself a lot of precious time and money.<span> </span>Then, you can take what you have learned and formulate an alternative business proposal.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in"><span><span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Having a Business Plan will keep you Budget-focused.</strong><span> </span>When you are first establishing your new business, it&#8217;s easy to become overzealous and, thus, accidently overspend on things that you shouldn&#8217;t.<span> </span>By starting with a formal business plan, you equip yourself with the research needed to make intelligent purchasing decisions.<span> </span>For example, your plan&#8217;s Marketing Strategy will contain information about what advertising options will be the most effective and have the highest return-on-investment (ROI). A detailed business plan will help make the most out of a start-up business&#8217; often tight budgets.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in"><span><span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">3)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>A Business Plan will help with Organization.</strong><span> </span>Making the effort to create a business plan will often end up saving you time in the long run because you will have organized your course of action.<span> </span>If you go into a new business venture without a plan, you will most likely run into various obstacles that could set you back in scheduling and money.<span> </span>However, if you&#8217;ve got a business plan, you will have researched the risks and will be prepared for the unexpected.<span> </span>It is a huge mistake to go into a new business blind &#8212; make sure you have a thorough business plan to guide you to success.</span></p>
