Before sharing your business plan for feedback, it’s important to ensure it’s free from spelling errors. Start by using the spell check feature on your document. This tool will help identify and suggest corrections for commonly misspelled words. When you encounter these, choose whether to change the spelling to the suggested one, ignore it, or add it to your dictionary. Remember, there may be words unique to your business, like specific product names or place names, that the spell check might not recognize. If these terms are used infrequently, you can choose to ignore them so they won’t be marked as errors. However, if they appear several times throughout your document or are central to your business, like your company name, consider adding them to your dictionary. This way, they won’t be flagged as misspellings in future checks. You can also perform a spell check on individual words by selecting them. Once you’ve completed the spell check and updated your personal dictionary, your document is ready for the next step.
Now it’s time to share your business plan and gather valuable feedback. Begin by sharing your document via email with the person whose feedback you seek. When doing so, assign them the appropriate level of access: whether it’s just to view, to comment, or to edit the document. Accompany your share invitation with a brief message explaining that you’re seeking their feedback on your business plan. To make the feedback process more efficient, use the comment feature in your document to indicate specific areas where you would like input. Direct these comments to the person you have shared the document with, and don’t hesitate to add comments in any section where feedback would be helpful. For a more organized approach, you can assign comments to specific individuals. This way, they can easily resolve each comment after addressing it. By following these steps, you ensure a thorough review of your business plan while making the process convenient and efficient for both you and your reviewer.
