These sections or elements of a business plan are outlined below. When you write your business plan, you don’t have to strictly follow a particular business plan outline or template. Use only those sections that make the most sense for your particular business and its needs. Traditional business plans use some combination of the sections below. Your plan might also include any funding requests you're making. Elements of a Business Plan

The length of a business plan varies greatly from business to business. As mentioned above, no two business plans are the same. Nonetheless, they tend to have the same elements. Below are some of the common and key parts of a business plan.

  • Products and services

  • Market analysis

  • Marketing strategy

  • Financial planning

  • Budget

A company should entice readers with a plan that demonstrates its singularity and potential for success.
