Business Development & Continuity Plans

How does a business development plan differ from other plans?
A business development plan is most likely to be written as a business plan for an existing business, which is looking to introduce new products or expand its existing range. It may involve seeking additional funding or merely be for clearly setting out the objectives and strategy for management and key staff.

What is a business continuity plan and how does it differ from other plans?
A continuity plan should be part of the continuous business planning process. Ideally, a company that has written a business plan should review the plan against results at least every six months. This is especially important for high-growth start-up businesses as well as growing established businesses. If you use a software business planning tool, such as stepbystep, then the process of updating is relatively easy.
