Though the creation of an annual strategic plan and budget is a common practice at larger companies, small to mid-size companies usually do not go through the process thoroughly, mainly because they do not really know how to, and do not fully comprehend the importance. 

Business always surprise and somewhat unpredictable. Creation of a solid plan will ensure that – 

      1. You do not get caught unprepared in case something goes wrong

      2. You take advantage of growth opportunities and get closer to your goals. 

Creation of a solid plan takes into account everything that impacts your business. Such as – 

1. Market landscape

2. Seasonality

3. Available resources such as cash, inventory, manpower, space, technology. 

4. Current signed projects

5. Recurring revenue

6. Existing clients

7. Procurement, Vendors and COGS (Cost of Goods)

8. Overhead expenses

9. Owners personal plans and goals

10. Investors and Loans

The strategic business plan main output is:

          1. Exact “marching order” and plan, by the department, to follow. 

          2. Detailed monthly budget. The budget is being reviewed on monthly basis and being compared to the actual monthly and YTD                 (Year To Date) results. Variances are being reviewed and might trigger red flags and additional management decisions.

Sometimes things go wrong. Typically, it takes somebody new, an outsider, usually on a temporary basis, to recognize the reality and to help find the solutions.
