This essay sheds light on what is a financial plan, explicates how to develop a financial plan, elucidates the different components of a financial plan, and demystifies the effective business strategies that companies can leverage in their financial plan. Succinctly stated, a financial plan can serve as a comprehensive section of a business plan that can serve as a strategic financial guide that is able to offer strategic financial direction to a company in financially guiding its business efforts. Furthermore, a financial plan can not only also demystify a company's current financial status, but can also reveal a company's potential future financial status. A company should aim to avert succumbing to poor financial health. Succumbing to poor financial health can render a company more prone to becoming insolvent. If a company becomes insolvent, it then lacks the requisite amount of fiat currency to pay off its outstanding debt balances. Companies should forgo undergoing debt financing to raise capital. Companies accrue debt in contexts in which they undergo debt financing to raise capital by issuing corporate bonds to investors. Issuing corporate bonds to investors can amplify a company's "bonds payable account balance". Issuing corporate bonds to investors can also amplify a company's debt-to-EBITDA ratio. It is a feasible viability for companies to develop a financial plan. A financial plan is comprised of a bevy of components that are consolidated into a document. Developing a financial plan can entail integrating a company's "income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet" into a financial plan. Furthermore, developing a financial plan can also entail listing a company's operating expenses, writing "a personnel plan", setting forth financial health metrics, and setting forth financial projections. Moreover, developing a financial plan can also entail identifying a company's funding requirement and establishing a comprehensive budget.
