Writing a Business Plan - How Long Will it Take?
Jan 3rd, 2008 by admin
The time it takes to research and write a business plan is contingent upon a number of factors including the concept, the intended audience, status of business (start-up or existing) and number of people on the planning team. If you’re flying solo and it’s an entirely new concept, it will take considerably longer than if it was an existing business with three or four team people tackling the plan. On average, a start-up plan will take anywhere from 160 to 640 hours to research and write. Established businesses should allow between 40 and 160 hours.

You’re right. As stated on WikiAnswers: “Every answer to every question needs to be considered critically. You should consider other sources and speak to professionals in your area (a doctor, laywer, etc.) in some cases.” But the good news is, I wrote the answer to the question above and keep a close eye on it to make sure that it is not vandalized. By the way, it’s ‘grain of salt’ not bucket.
In your case it’s “bucket”.
Fair enough. But let me ask you… Do you have a personal grievance with wikis? I do not understand where your hostility is coming from.
Maybe we should just start over? I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot. Must have been that bucket my shoe was stuck in…
