HOW TO WRITE PESTLE ANALYSIS FOR YOUR BUSINESS PLAN

PESTLE analysis is a method of assessing some relevant factors that could affect your business; affecting it in the area of market planning. These factors are sometimes called macro-environment which can give your business a good shape. With these analyses, it becomes easy for you to assess your business in areas such as competition, markets, sales and other situations around your business. PESTLE is an acronym which means Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental factors.

While writing your business plan, you need to have perfect knowledge of each these factors. The factors are succinctly explained below:

 

Political Factors

These are factors relating to the level of government intervention in the economy. That is several government policies that make the economy behave in a certain way. Political issues should be addressed here, they include; foreign trade policy, tax policy, emerging technology e.t.c.

The following questions should be properly assessed;

  • What are government policies that could impact your business?
  • How could political groups influence the success of your business?

 

Economic Factors

There are economic factors that you should put into consideration while preparing your business plan. Economic factors entail how businesses perform and make decisions both in the short run and the long run. There are economic issues to be considered by a business owner. They are unemployment, inflation, stock market, trade (international and local), interest rate, and consumers’ confidence. At this point, I don’t want you to lose track of the fact that the major issue we are trying to address here is, “How to write PESTLE analysis for your business”.

You might need to ask yourself the following questions under the economic factors;

  • How your pricing, revenues, and costs are impacted by economic factors?

It is important for you to highlight the following problems/ questions;

  • How do customers’ beliefs and behavior impact the performance of your business?

Technological Factors

Technological factors affect the way you manufacture, distribute and market your product. That is, how these things affect how a product or value is taken to the consumers. That is means of getting a product across to the consumers e.g. Research and Design (R&D).

You can ask yourself the following questions relating to technological factors

  • How will technology impact your product /services?
  • What are the current technological advancements?

This is concerned with ecological influences on your business and its performance. These factors include any of those macro-environmental factors that influence businesses. Also, your business needs to be environment-friendly with its operations. For example, corporate sustainability responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

You need to address the following problems under environmental factors:

HOW TO WRITE PESTLE ANALYSIS FOR YOUR BUSINESS PLAN

Steps to writing PESTLE analysis for your business

  1. Fact-finding: This means you will endeavor to make research on those factors. For you to have a good PESTLE analysis in your business plan, you must carry out a survey, gather enough information and data relating to the factors: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental. During your period of research, you will know what usually brings about the changes in those factors, why they change, and how often they change.

 

  1. Identify the factors: another thing you should consider is identifying those factors. Get your team members, brainstorm on it and evaluate the impact of those factors on your business. While brainstorming, consider the present change and those changes that may likely occur in the future. In the same vein, there are some factors that will surface now, in present, while some will reflect in the future. Your team should be able to identify these during the research and brainstorming sessions. With this, your business will be successful because; it will help you in analyzing your competitors as well as your marketing plan.
  2. Measure the effect of each PESTLE component on your business: When analyzing PESTLE in your business plan, relate and measure the effect of the factors on the present behavior of your business. It will guide you on how to explore opportunities and give you solutions to the challenges your business may be facing.
  3. Identify Threats and Opportunities: you will need to identify how a change in the PESTLE components could be used as an advantage for your business. For example, when there is a change in labor laws, it could affect costs of labor, when there is technology advancement, it could be used to cut the cost of labor or increase process efficiency.
  4. Act to implement results: after you’ve obtained results from your findings of the macro-environment factors, action is needed! Your action will depend on your reason for carrying out the analysis. This analysis should be distributed to employees, investors, stakeholders. The summary of this analysis in your business plan is that if there are any risks or threats, you want to ensure that you take the necessary steps to eliminate them and develop action plans to take advantage of the opportunities.

 

Location of PESTLE analysis in your business plan

It is important to include PESTLE as part of your business plan. Many business owners don’t know about PESTLE, as a matter of fact, they don’t include it in their business plans. PESTLE analysis gives an edge to your business in many ways, and it is one of those areas that investors, stakeholders, and employees will look up to see in your business plan.
