			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing a business plan is important because it prevents you from spending a great deal of time, energy and financial resources pursuing a business idea that is untenable. It\&#8217;s an essential tool for business startups as it can help when applying for loans, looking for business angels or a business partner. The aim of a business plan is to communicate your business idea in a well formatted and preferably, complete, manner.</p>
<p>The document should clearly mention what market you are going to operate in, company description, your product and services, your marketing and financial strategy, human resource management and infrastructure. These apply to all businesses, even if you plan on starting a law firm. As always, the company description section should clearly state the ownership and the legal structure of the organization. This should be followed with a clear and concise description of the services you wish to provide.</p>
<p>The marketing component of your business plan should include a market and competitor analysis, as well as your intended pricing. The market analysis section is very important even for those who intend on starting a law firm. Consider for example, if you are a Memphis accident lawyer, your market analysis should include the Memphis area and the national averages and you must do a SWOT analysis to judge the viability of the business.</p>
<p>The financial section of the business plan should include current management accounts, if any, realistic income projections and a breakeven analysis. In the management section, you need to outline all the background and relevant experience of the main members of your management team.</p>
<p>The business plan is only one step to starting your own business. Carrying on with our example, starting a law firm is easier than say starting a manufacturing business, because the initial investments are small. However, you still need to fulfill all the legalities and complete the paper work. Make sure you locate your office where it is convenient for the majority of your clients. Market your firm as well. For instance, if you are Memphis accident lawyer, you can place an ad in your State\&#8217;s Bar Association publication. Having a website is a must these days, make sure you have a good web presence.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.startingasolopractice.com">Starting a law firm</a> requires that you have some experience, a few contacts and the capital to start a firm.
