Uncovering Hidden Risks: A Comprehensive Guide to Business Plan Risk Analysis

Business Planning, Risk Management / By Dragan Sutevski, PhD

A modern business plan that will lead your business on the road to success must have another critical element. That element is a part where you will need to cover possible risks related to your small business. So, you need to focus on managing risk and use risk management processes if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur.

How can you manage risks?

You can always plan and predict future things in a certain way that will happen, but your impact is not always in your hands. There are many external factors when it comes to the business world. They will always influence the realization of your plans. Not only the realization but also the results you will achieve in implementing the specific plan. Because of that, you need to look at these factors through the prism of the risk if you want to implement an appropriate management process while implementing your business plan.

The revenue model is an important part of your business model because everything that you create in your business model will need to be evaluated through the revenue model.

The success of your business model and the success of your small business often will be based on the success of your revenue model.

30 Things You Can Do With Your Business Plan

Business Planning / By Dragan Sutevski, PhD

A business plan is a tool that means life for your company. The existence of a plan is to help you as an entrepreneur to make your company better, more profitable, and more stable.

You must use the real potential stored in your business plan. It is one of the most important elements of your whole business’s potential energy.

I have already seen many businesses that were started without a business plan becoming successful companies. However, the potential of that business will be much bigger if its entrepreneurs use and implement the plan as a tool that will map their path to success.

What is a Business Model?

Business Startup / By Dragan Sutevski, PhD

Many times here on Entrepreneurship in a Box I emphasize the meaning, importance, and usefulness of the business model. Yes, it is really important for the success of you as an entrepreneur and your small business. It is true because the business model will give you a simple but clear path you will need to walk.

In the past, there was not a systematic approach to build one that will enable you systematically to follow and improve it through practice. There are many scientific papers that talk about it, but still, there is no step-by-step solution when it comes to designing one, and use it for building and running your own business.

So, you read about modeling of your business, but you were alone and left on yourself how you will design one and use it in the future. Before several years this was changed. Now, we already have systemized approach that will be easy to use. Not only in designing, but also in the improvement of every important aspect of your small business design.
