Your Statement of
Purpose
You probably already know that there are different steps
involved in writing and creating a good business plan. A proper
business plan is a valuable tool for your business or company
and can help lead you on a path to great success. The more you
know about the different components that go into creating one,
the better your business plan will be.
One important part of the business plan is your Statement of
Purpose. The statement of purpose shows you know what you want
and you are willing to do what it takes to get it. These are
qualities that are important to a successful business and it
shows you are serious about your company and its success.
What is the statement of purpose?
Your statement of purpose is how you communicate with potential
lenders or investors, business partners or even future
employees. This is an important part of the business plan and
should be taken seriously. You need to be direct, concise and
to the point. Don’t waste words or will it up with “fluff”
here.
The statement of purpose should include exactly what you want
without “beating around the bush” or taking a long time to get
there. You should be able to get your complete statement of
purpose into about a page of your business plan. If your
original is longer, keep revising and cutting until you can get
it down to about one full page that describes what you
want.
What should be included in the statement of purpose?
So what exactly do you say in your statement of purpose? Your
statement of purpose should include a brief description of your
company or business, your objectives, your company mission and
your keys to success. You should describe the primary service
or goods provided and your plan to provide those to the
consumer as well as the rate at which you will provide it.
You should then include the current local market for your goods
or services and where you predict the majority of your profit
to come from. You will also include major achievements of the
company or details that show why your business has the ability
to thrive in the market and be successful.
