In most cases it is very important to have a business soon after you complete your company formation.  There are many reasons for this; however three of the main ones are listed below:

Developing your idea

Initially a business plan can be useful for developing your business ideas into a viable business model.  A business plan can show you the resources and planning that you will need before your business begins trading, meaning that you can begin running the business well prepared.

Funding and banks

Having a business plan is useful when trying to secure funding as it allows potential investors or the bank to understand the cash flow requirements of the business.  Some banks will want to see an in depth business plan before they will provide you with services you may need from them, including bank loans or overdraft facilities.

Evaluating your business

Later in your limited company’s life, a business plan can show you where you have reached your targets and what you may need to adjust in the future to be more successful. Updating your business plan regularly once your  company is actively trading can be helpful to make sure you have an up to date perspective of the business and the direction that it is heading in.
