You start your business plan document by entering the general company data. This page gives a first impression of the company and its general goals. The management of the company defines the business idea of the enterprise and its strategies, with objectives and plans for implementation. These are then put together into a business plan, for information for the shareholders and employees or for bankers, to raise capital for implementation of the plan.
