DENVER, CO, November 29, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new study undertaken by One Pol and nPower Business reveals that one in ten small and medium-sized businesses do not have a proper business plan in place that guides them through the process to achieve their goals. In fact, many businesses rely on a few post-it notes or note pads. Onnit Marketing Group finds this alarming and wants to raise awareness: "The results show that entrepreneurs need more support and guidance in order to run their business effectively and achieve business growth. It is absolutely crucial to create a detailed business plan with short-, medium- and long-term goals and follow up on it on a regular basis in order to work towards business success."

Onnit Marketing Group adds that small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeline of the US economy. With their success, the economy can grow and prosper. In fact, with a record number of businesses established in 2014 the future looks promising, providing that business owners receive the relevant support.
The recently published report shows that a third of hospitality and events businesses, and a quarter of all transport and logistics companies work with improvised business plans. Looking at the retail sector, 88 per cent of businesses believe it is useful to have a proper business plan in place. In reality however, only half have a written-down business plan and 15 per cent of retail firms are still relying on a few records written on post-it notes as their only method of long-term financial planning. Onnit Marketing Group believes that doing this is a mistake. Post-it notes or papers are rarely seen again.
The One Pol and nPower study shows that 36 per cent of business owners admit that running their own business is harder than expected and that it would have helped them to have a comprehensive written business plan in place.
