A business plan is not just for getting loans. It's your roadmap. It forces you to think through every aspect of your business: who your customers are, what you'll spend, when you'll break even, and how you'll respond when things go wrong.
Banks won't approve loans without a credible plan. Investors want to see your thinking. And you need a plan to measure yourself against, if reality diverges from the plan, you catch it early and adjust.
