(PRWEB) March 24, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c14366) has announced the addition of A Guide to Business Plan Writing, 2nd edition to their offering.

This Guide to Business Plan Writing, 2nd edition helps companies in the life sciences industry create an effective business plan for an early stage business venture. Businesses in the life science industry, which includes biotechnology, agricultural technology, pharmaceutical products, health services and medical devices, face similar hurdles in the development of their businesses. These challenges are often distinct from what is faced in other non-life science, technology-based industries.

This guide will assist in understanding the appropriate use of a business plan, give some guidance on how to create the plan, and place the process of creating a business plan into a life science industry context. This guide is based on the authors real world experience and insight. Common pitfalls are highlighted and suggestions are made to help to avoid them.

This guide describes a three-phase approach to planning and writing your business plan.

The business plan must reflect the unique nature of your business venture.

Phase One-Planning the Plan: Themes
Phase Two-Planning the Plan: Focus Areas
Phase Three-Writing the Plan: Modules & Sections
