When I began studying marketing, the key part that stuck with me was the fact that many small companies which went bust overnight, did so  because they could not afford to keep up with paying back massive bank loans. The banks lend you money if your business plan looks impressive, but they are not investing in you only a concept!

A business plan is what it simply is as described.   It is nothing more than a projecting chart of how much money you would like to achieve in a certain amount of time. In other words; it is nothing more than economic fortune-telling.

Let us explore little deeper. A business plan is only an act of confidence based on your future projections,  and how you think your products or services will do. The banks are not interested in whether the goals are realistic in practice, because from the start;  they will make their money whether you break even or go bust.

 BBC The Dragons Den Model

Many entrepreneurs have appeared on the BBC programme: ‘The Dragon’s Den.’  All looking for investment,  using their charms to lull the dragons with their excellent business plans.  And usually they end up getting the investment they wanted  based on their well presented business plan.  However,  when you go on Google, you find tons of pages of these investment that the dragons have made, which all failed to make any money!

What is interesting is that some of the entrepreneurs with the worse business plans, who failed to get an investment from the dragons, ended up being over night millionaires! The lesson to be learnt here is that:  a good business plan does not mean you will be successful, and make tons of money.   It simply means you know how to play the game! Some people are good at passing exams, but in the workplace, are useless at doing their jobs.

So hence, you have a brilliant business plan and loan from the bank, but your business folds within 18 months because you are paying it back,  and just about not going into the red.  This is the real world no one is talking about.  The news we watch on our television screen seldom goes into the real reasons why so many small businesses are failing.  Many are folding because they cannot afford to pay back the business loans.
