How to Draft a Reunion Planners Company Business Plan
Like it or not, your new reunion planners business is going nowhere fast without a business plan.
There is nothing magical about a first-rate reunion planners company business plan. In its simplest form, a business plan is a document that describes your company's goals and your strategy for achieving them.
When you compose a business plan, you formally document the rationale behind your entrepreneurial vision. The information in your plan (and your rationale) are essential for lenders, investors and other people who have a stake in your company.
Before you begin, we recommend reviewing a few sample business plans.

How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.
Studying the Market
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby reunion planners businesses will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
