Your business plan is unique to your vision for your business. No two business plans will look alike. Even so, some key considerations that will play an important role in shaping your content includes whether or not you are writing your business plan for the first time for a new business or business opportunity or if you are writing a plan that updates or supersedes an already existing plan.
