Actually I couldn't understand that how investers read the Business Plans. In my experience, every investers that I present my plans always ask the things in the my plan details. And I believe that you are true. I have a new project that name is www.nargilegetir.com. I have only 10 page BP.

Thanks for the great article, Sam. Common thoughts around business plans are that they should be short with a detailed appendix that will allow, say, VC's with short attention spans to access further information when they so choose.

Jay – I couldn’t agree with you more.

The report that Stowe cites states only 50% of new businesses have formal plans…well very few startups even get off the ground (in terms of revenue).

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the successful ones, have plans…my bet is the majority

I’ve seen too many people write a business plan but neglect writing a strategic plan.
