From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (also called a company, enterprise or firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned.

However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate. From Wikipedia under the

I have never taken serious to write a business plan for my business, and I don't like play the words or numbers, but my business do have some profit.

You definitely have to put a lot of thought and time in constructing one. Put yourself in the lender's situation - if some random guy came up to you with no clear plan, why on earth would you give him $20k? If you are sure that you'll make a or are already making a profit, spell it out for them. Show them how you've flourished and how you expect to grow in the future with this money. Obviously you don't have to know every specific detail going into the distant future, since no one can predict what will happen with your business, but at least develop likely scenarios so you'll be prepared for anything.
