The plan is requested when additional capital for on-going operations is sought and when business wishes to evaluate their position in their market and for historical performance of the company. Things to avoid will be discussed. Additionally business ratios will also be discussed in order to acquaint the entrepreneur with some of the major ratios that others may use to evaluate his or her business.
