A social enterprise needs to concentrate on key deliverables in a resource-constrained environment. For this purpose, a good business plan is needed. A business plan is a more detailed, lengthier business model for the social enterprise. It is a document that sets out in detail the goals of the SE, how they will be attained and what evidence there is that the methods employed will attain those goals. The business plan outlines the mission, vision, goals, strategies, financial assumptions and projections, as well as the marketing strategies of the social enterprise. The business plan is essentially the document that asks all the right questions so the SE founders can be sure that they have covered all the necessary aspects in their social enterprise. Writing a business plan helps them to ensure that they focus on the core of their social enterprise.
