A business plan is a document that describes in detail how a job will achieve positive financial goals. It is a theoretical guide that gives detailed elaboration of the plan from the angle of marketing, finance and operations. This is also the longest document in the entire business documentation and should be the basis and source of all other documents and facts related to the business endeavor. There is no universal rule as to how long a business plan should be. From the usual expectations that a business plan should be a document that extends in dozens of countries, it increasingly goes down, and guidelines for writing become the principles of convenience and expediency.

The purpose of the business plan is to show the details of a business venture to potential investors or business partners, but it is nevertheless essential to serve as a living document, subject to change and improvement – a document that serves as a reference in which direction the business should be moving. Business plan is always evolving and improving and it implies business planning for the development of one undertaking in real time.

All elements of a business plan are a variable category – market dynamics are changing, revenue and sales are difficult to design, and are critical to business, action plans have to be adapted. Some business plans are not good just because they are not adjusting to the current moment.

On the other hand, some business plans can be technically done flawlessly, but the assumptions on which the claims are based can be wrong. Most potential business planners (eg investors) understand and verify the assumptions on which assertions are based, and it is essential that analysts and financial budgets are credible and precise.
