The Synthesis will provide you with a template for a complete business plan document that you can adapt and use to compile all the findings elaborated under the chapters of the Operations Plan, the Marketing Plan, the HR Plan, the Financial Plan, the Risk Analysis and the Action or Work Plan.

The structure used in this guide follows an "ideal" step-by-step elaboration of the contents. In reality, you will sometimes need to go back and forth, e.g. to describe your main programmes and services, to decide on the resources needed for this, to budget and then to go back to define the pricing and delivery strategy of your Marketing Plan.
