Edmonton Cpa | Developing Effective Business Plans


Business owners often start their business with great ideas on how they’re going to grow their business, however Edmonton CPA says if they do not put those great ideas into a plan, they are not likely to achieve those ideas. As Benjamin Franklin said, if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. And business owners with great ideas, don’t have a plan. A business plan can help business owners quantify what their goals actually are, as well as help them figure out a way to achieve those goals. Great business plans will take all of the great goals and plans of the business, and bring them all together with financial aspects to ensure that those goals are achievable, and what they must do to achieve them. Business owners who take the time to write out a business plan, are 50% more likely to increase the cash flow in their business then businesses who don’t have a business plan at all.

Business owners should be aware that not all business plans that are on the market are created the same. Some focus more on finances, some focus only on business processes, but the best business plans says Edmonton CPA are the ones that look at the entire picture of the business. The business plans that are offered at Spurrell and Associates take a look at the entire picture of the business, looking at not only the financial aspect of it, but the other strategies and initiatives that business owners need to consider in their business in order to achieve their goals. There idea, is business owners can possibly create a business plan that they know will work, without developing a plan that is financially sound as well.

There are many other reasons why the business plans at Spurrell and Associates are more effective than other business plans, and one of those ways is because when the business owner creates a business plan with Spurrell and Associates, they are not working on their business plan alone, they have a team of people who are invested in their business growth as well. That collaborative process is what makes this business plan process work very well. Business owner may not think of all of the variables by themselves. They having a team of people they can share ideas with, and discuss the pros and cons of various strategies, also hear from professionals what have worked for businesses in the past and what hasn’t worked, business owners can use information from a variety of experts to ensure their creating the best plan that they can says Edmonton CPA.

Not only will this collaborative team approach help businesses create a great plan, but that same team will also be scrutinizing the plan to ensure it is sound and implementable. Edmonton CPA says business owners should know before they implement the plan if there’s any deficiencies, or if it is the best possible plan that they can have.

There are many reasons why entrepreneurs may not succeed in business says Edmonton CPA. The statistics show that half of all entrepreneurs that open the doors to their business, will close them within five years. Out of all of those businesses that fail, 42% of them said they couldn’t attract customers, 29% said they ran out of money in their business, and 23% of entrepreneurs with failed businesses said that they were unable to attract the right team. These are significant business challenges that business owners face, and all of them are things that could have been planned to over come by creating a business plan. Not only can business plans help business owners overcome challenges they may face in business, business plans can help business owners create goals in their business, and how much revenue they want to generate, how big they want to grow, how many customers they want for example. A business plan will also help business owners figure out how they can achieve those goals. Without having a business plan in their business, entrepreneurs are less likely to grow, because not only is that not a goal, they also have no way of knowing what they need to do in order to grow their business.

When the easiest ways that a business owner can increase the success in their business, is by creating a business plan. Spurrell and Associates is accounting and consulting firm who specialize in creating business plans for entrepreneurs. They have developed their business plan template over many years through trial and error. they use that template along with a collaborative approach, and their goal of helping business owners beat the odds. There are many reasons why the business plans at Spurrell are more effective than most says Edmonton CPA. One of the ways that the business plans are different, is because they use accountants in order to create reliable cash flow projections. It’s extremely important that cash flow projections in a business plan are as accurate as possible. This is because the business owner is going to be using those projections to plan out the finances for their business on a month-to-month basis, and and and accurate cash flow projection can end up with the customer running out of money. Cash flow projections should help the business owner plan, not the opposite.

Once chartered professional accountants has created reliable and accurate cash flow projections, they will stay on the team to help the business owner create the rest of their plan. The reason why this is so beneficial, is because the accountant has already developed a deep understanding of the business in order to create those reliable cash flow projections, that they will be able to continue to help the business owner create a great and functioning business plan says Edmonton CPA.

By allowing the experts to work with them on their business plan, business owners are likely to create a business plan that is effective and functional and likely to succeed. If there is anything we can do to help your business, be sure to give us a call.
