Depending on the goals and needs of the business itself, there are several different types of business plans:

• An initial business plan that outlines the business concept, target market, financial projections and marketing and operational strategies of the new business
• A business growth plan that describes the steps the company will take to expand and grow its existing business
• An internal business plan that companies use to manage their internal operations and make decisions
• A strategic business plan that defines the company's long-term goals and strategies for achieving them
• A business feasibility plan that assesses the feasibility of a new business idea or venture, including market and competition analysis
• An operational business plan that describes the company's day-to-day operations, including details of the production process, personnel, and logistics
• Non-profit business plan that describes non-profit organisations' mission, programs, funding sources and financial projections
