All businesses must create plans before making any decisions related to internal operations, short-term projects or long-term development and financial growth. There are several types of plans for a given business, two of which includes single-use plans and standing plans. Although both of these plans are used in a business environment, neither falls under the definition of a business plan.
1. Single-Use Plans :A single-use plan in a business environment refers to plans developed for a one-time project or event that has one specific goal or objective. The length of a single-use plan differs greatly depending on the project in question, as a single event plan may only last one day while a single project may last weeks or months. Single-use plans consist of budgets, programs and a description of the employees who will be contributing to the single-use plan in question.
2.Standing Plans :
Standing plans are often policies, procedures and programs developed to ensure the internal operations of a given business are operating smoothly. Standing plans are often developed once and then modified to suit the business' needs as required. Examples of standing plans include policies for employee interaction, procedures for reporting internal issues in the company and regulations in terms of what is allowable and what is prohibited in the business.
3.Business Plans :
Business plans are detailed plans written before the business launches. A detailed business plan includes a detailed profile of the business, its purpose, list of services and products, and a chart displaying management. In addition, the business plan includes a risk management section, where the risks associated with running the business are discussed and solutions are proposed. The business plan not only offers information about the business, but also serves as a guidance document for business owners.
