Q. How do I write a business plan?

According to Palgrave key concepts in innovation "business plan is a document that describes a proposed new business or a new project within an existing business. A business plan for a new business seeks to capture the vision and describes the current status and expected needs of the markets, along with the projected results and financial needs for the new business."
