It presents the opinion of various authors on the need to develop business plans, including strategic business plans, their importance, purpose and elements.

The profile of the surveyed enterprises is presented and the obtained results related to the planning process are analyzed - implementation of the business planning, types of used plans and strategies, realization of preliminary researches and analyzes of the environment and development of forecasts. The implementation of planning in the activities of the surveyed companies is due to entrepreneurial initiative and activity in decision-making to start and manage their own business.
