Surprisingly little empirical work has examined the relationship between planning sophistication and performance in new ventures. The present study reports the results of a survey of initial business plans made by entrepreneurs, whose enterprises have been monitored within the startup panel of Northrhine-Westphalia since the year 2000. This chapter seeks to determine the planning behavior of entrepreneurs, the grade of their planning sophistication and the performance effects of planning features.
