Business planning as a road to success.

Why business planning pays off

Developing new business ideas and preparing them according to business management criteria is an important process in building your company. At the beginning, you are usually faced with the challenge of realistically assessing where your idea will take you.

Business planning helps you to gain insights in a structured way. Especially startups that want to get started quickly on the market usually require dynamic strategic business planning.

Many paths can lead to your goal

Business planning enables you, for example

  • to question the relevance of your idea or solution

  • Assess your market and competition,

  • to understand the "business logic" of your (potential) customers, or

  • to develop a monetization and a realization schedule for your idea.

Approaches such as Lean Startup, the Business Model Canvas, agile procedures and the validation of findings from short iteration stages or even classic business planning are possible approaches that complement each other.

With BayStartUP you learn the basics of business planning and how to communicate a related business model to your stakeholders. It is up to you to decide in which written form you will then present your findings - e.g. exposé, pitchdeck, readdeck or business plan.
