I Прочитайте и письменно переведите текст. Business Plan

Life may be very chaotic when you are starting or running a small business. The telephone calls to make, the letters to write, the decisions to take – all the day-to-day emergencies can push aside the sort of long-term strategic planning which is essential to keep your enterprise on the right track. Do not let short-term problems divert you from the long-term objectives.

Doing a business plan before you start your firm is vital because it will spotlight potential problems before they arise and will suggest ways to solve them saving your time, money and headaches. A business plan consists of organized answers to a series of carefully thought-out questions vital to starting any successful company. Assembling this plan will be your first opportunity to manage your new business.

When people talk about a business plan they are usually referring to a formal written document. A written document helps to focus your thinking and gives you something to refer to later.

Doing a business plan you write your long-term objectives, estimates and forecasts on paper. There is nothing like writing something down if you need to clarify your mind and reveal your uncertainties and weaknesses.

But a business plan is more than a document, it is the entire process you go through to clarify and evaluate your prospective company. Once you have put down your plan, do not necessarily accept that it is set in concrete. Forecasts and objectives change as new bits of information appear and your better experience emerge. The important point is to incorporate your best estimate, given your current state of information.

Doing a business plan is your job. You will know the product and the market better than anyone else. You have to be prepared to present the plan to banks and other sources of finance, so you need to be fully confident about all the statements and forecasts. You will have that confidence if you have provided the data.

However, as it is important for your plan to look professional, you may consider seeking advice and help on its production. This is available from various agencies and training courses, accountants and corporate finance specialists. If your forecasts are likely to be complicated and to need changing, you might consider using a computer programme designed to enable you to produce forecasts and to examine the effect changes will have on the results.
