Core Characteristics of Client & Server Software Company Business Plans
Ask a dozen people how to write an effective business plan and you'll get a dozen different answers. But despite the diversity of approaches, there are some business plan features that are absolutely essential.
If your plan lacks required elements like an executive summary or marketing plan, it could jeopardize its potential to deliver real benefits to your startup.
But in today's business environment, it's also important to discuss the external factors your client and server software business is facing. As a rule, we recommend including a PEST (Political, Economic, Social & Technological) analysis in your business plan as a way of addressing potential threats and opportunities at the macro level.

Find Good Remote Business Advice
If you are seriously contemplating launching a client and server software business, the next step is to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. What's in it for them?
On the other hand, an individual who has a client and server software business in a different city can be a great learning resource for you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.

Advice for Acquiring a Client & Server Software Business
Without a doubt, it usually makes more sense to acquire a client and server software business than it does to pursue a startup.

Explore Franchising Options
