Why should you write a comprehensive business plan?

• Whether you are starting a new Restaurant, are looking to raise additional capital to expand your currently profitable Restaurant, or looking to evaluate and value your Restaurant t sell, current statistics prove that you will do much better with a business plan than without. Dun & Bradstreet reports that 85,982 businesses operating in 1991 failed. In 1992 this number was even greater with 97,069 failures. 
  

• The primary reasons for failure vary, but all of the reasons cited came under the category of poor planning. You are a part of the second largest Industry in the United States representing 4% of the U.S. Gross National Product in the most competitive Industry in the world. 
  

• Your management decisions will decide whether your Restaurant survives or thrives in the face of increased competition. The most important benefit of a business plan is that it sets the stage for the future of your Restaurant as you want it to be positioned in the marketplace. A business plan will make it easy for your banker to take action as he/she gains insight into the details of your restaurant and the goals that you have outlined. 
  

• Potential investors can review your plan and decide whether or not to make an investment based upon the risk. You will benefit most as you study and gain detailed insight into your own operations. Updating and constantly reviewing your plan will give you more insight as both a manager and decision maker.
