Developing a Business Plan: Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, 3:00 PM ET
Whether or not you’re pitching to investors or lenders, starting a business requires a solid plan. A well-crafted business plan provides direction, helps validate your ideas, and outlines the steps needed to achieve your goals. It also serves as a roadmap for both short- and long-term growth.
If you plan to seek funding—whether from investors or through a business loan—many financial institutions will require a business plan as part of the application process.
