Key Steps to a Quality Business Plan - Page 3
3. In addition, one essential point in a business plan is to define concrete policies and measures. This definition aims to gain a reasonable number of customers, based on a sufficient knowledge of the market. The quantitative estimate of this gain must be calculated on realistic monthly and annual increase rates. A well-founded pricing policy then makes it possible to estimate the sales turnover in the years ahead.
The calculation of the costs of the planned actions in your business plan are essential and make overall financial projections possible. In short, financial forecasts - including those related to the financing of the project - must be elaborated from the basic elements of the project. They should be proceeded by a commercial engineering study which projects a realistic estimate of sales.

5. The last point and certainly not the least significant: A business plan is never ended "once and for all". A regular follow-up and comparison between the theoretical business plan and the reality of its execution are essential. You can then modify your BP and adapt it to improve performance and achieve your goals.
