What is a business plan and where can I find a template?

A business plan is a document that summarises the operational and financial objectives of one's business, with detailed schemes and budgets to achieve the business start-up.

The Support Office does not provide a business plan template. New entrepreneurs can choose the format they like and if they encounter any difficulty, they can contact their intermediary organisation for a more information and advice.

The business plan should contain:

  • A description of the product or services on offer;
  • A market analysis including a definition of the target market and a competitor analysis;
  • A financial plan including a break even analysis.
