process for identifying problem and opportunities, determine
objectives, describe situation, defining the successful
outcome and assessing the range of cost and benefits
associated with several alternatives for solving a problem.

time a new business idea is created, namely, the
test of possibility and the test of feasibility
The test of possibility on the new business idea
should have positive results, so that the next
test, which is the test of feasibility or viability, can
be conducted. The primary objective of the
feasibility is to determine whether the proposed
business is feasible or not in all areas.
If the outcome of the feasibility is positive, then
the entrepreneur prepares the for a business
plan

Startup businesses > The most classic business
planning scenario is for a startup, for which the plan
helps the founders break uncertainty down into
meaningful pieces, like the sales projection, expense
budget, milestones, and tasks. A startup business
plan also details the amount of money needed to get
the business off the ground, and through the initial
growth phases that will lead (hopefully!) to
profitability.
• A person who want to start a business.
• A person who already have a business.
11. Existing businesses > Existing businesses use business
plans to strategically manage and steer the business,
not just to address changes in their markets and to take
advantage of new opportunities. They use a plan to
reinforce strategy, establish metrics, manage
responsibilities and goals, track results, and manage
and plan resources including critical cash flow. And of
course, they use a plan to set the schedule for regular
review and revision.
